SB60 side-event: Using Data to Assess and Improve Climate Policies

Cuba/UNOPS side-event at the UNFCCC SB 60, Bonn

Using Data to Assess and Improve Climate Policies 

Date: Thursday 13 June 
Time: 10:15-11:30
Room: Berlin 

Robust transparency mechanisms and quality climate data can enable the design and implementation of effective climate change policies. Credible and robust data facilitates evidence-based decision-making across all sectors, including energy, agriculture, and transport. For countries, transparency frameworks can help in setting ambitious yet attainable climate objectives and tracking the implementation of measurable policies.

The event will explore how developing countries are using data to assess the impact, improve, and track the implementation of climate policies, drawing on global lessons learned and the methodological support available. Case studies in energy, agriculture, transport, and waste will showcase examples of impactful use of data and assessments made for evidence-based climate policies.
