Understanding MRV: evidence behind climate action
How measurement, reporting and verification connect action with results that can be checked.
M: Measurement
In carbon crediting, MRV begins with quantifying results over a reporting period against a baseline, using applicable methods.
R: Reporting
Data, calculations and results are documented so others can understand how a result was reached.
V: Verification
A third party meeting the standard’s requirements checks the evidence. Certification and credit issuance follow applicable processes; recording an activity alone does not create a carbon credit.
