摘　　要：Bali Action Plan provisions acknowledge the fact that developing countries are already making efforts to reduce emissions and move towards a low carbon pathway.The Copenhagen Accord mentions "Nationally appropriate mitigation actions seeking international support will be recorded in a registry along with relevant technology,finance and capacity building support.The phrase "measurable,reportable and verifiable" was critical to the agreement,and the way in which the concept of MRV is reflected in the post-2012 agreement will have significant implications for the effectiveness of that agreement for stakeholders in both developing and developed countries.It is worth looking for current examples of developing country programs that can be measured,reported and verified and examining how countries themselves currently undertake mitigation policies and measures.Many of China's domestic policies have been in effect for several years and thus provide empirical evidence for how such programs can work on the ground.This paper will highlight how MRV is currently applied domestically in China and will not make any specific proposals for negotiators;it only seeks to inform international discussion on how MRV might be applied in practice,and therefore what provisions might be required in a UNFCCC climate agreement.Bali Action Plan provisions acknowledge the fact that developing countries are already making efforts to reduce emis- sions and move towards a low carbon pathway. The Copenhagen Accord mentions Nationally appropriate mitigation actions seek- ing international support will be recorded in a registry along with relevant technology, finance and capacity building support. The phrase ＂measurable, reportable and verifiable＂ was critical to the agreement, and the way in which the concept of MRV is reflected in the post-2012 agreement will have significant implications for the effectiveness of that agreement for stakeholders in both de- veloping and developed countries. It is worth looking for current examples of developing country programs that can be measured, reported and verified and examining how countries themselves currently undertake mitigation policies and measures. Many of China＇s domestic policies have been in effect for several years and thus provide empirical evidence for how such programs can work on the ground. This paper will highlight how MRV is currently ap- plied domestically in China and will not make any specific propos- als for negotiators; it only seeks to inform international discussion on how MRV might be applied in practice, and therefore what provisions might be required in a UNFCCC climate agreement.
