|
|
October

|
|
|
|
This
workshop
provided
an
opportunity
to
further
explore
the
concepts
of
accounting
in
the
context
of
the
Paris
Agreement,
as
well
as
to
discuss
its
implications
for
carbon
pricing
and
tracking
registries.
Since,
as
part
of
the
Paris
Agreement,
countries
have
agreed
they
will
account
for
their
NDCs
and
any
international
transfers
of
mitigation
outcomes
to
avoid
double
counting,
the
workshop
also
discussed
the
implications
of
the
emerging
accounting
system
on
the
design
and
implementation
of
carbon
pricing
instruments.

This
workshop
provided
an
opportunity
to
discuss
issues
around
carbon
leakage
–
a
phenomenon
which
occurs
if
differences
in
emission
costs
lead
to
the
relocation
of
carbon-intensive
activities
and
related
emissions
from
more
to
less
stringent
jurisdictions.
Structured
around
the
main
findings
from
the
recently
published
PMR
technical
note
on
carbon
leakage,
participants
discussed
how
these
issues
can
best
be
addressed,
drawing
on
experience
from
around
