State of the Science behind Scalable MRV Technology

November 08, 2023 | International Rice Research Institute

The International Rice Congress (IRC 2023) featured a side event titled "State of the science behind scalable MRV technology," which delved into the challenges and opportunities of Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) tools in tracking countries' climate action plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The event explored the importance of MRV in making data available at the farm level, enabling farmers to access climate financing through emission reduction credits (ERCs). Emerging technologies, including biogeochemical modeling, remote sensing, and machine learning, were discussed as tools to enhance MRV for rice projects. The session emphasized the need for cost-effective and scalable MRV technologies to address challenges in monitoring greenhouse gas emissions in rice farming.
