paper by the BMU/IKI project<i> Information Matters</i> illustrates the
development of Germany’s national climate change reporting system up to the
present. It elaborates on important milestones shaping the development of the
German reporting system, while also taking into consideration international
developments related to climate change reporting, particularly those under the
UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol. By providing a historical perspective on the
German climate reporting system, the paper sheds light on lessons learned and
experiences which could be useful for other countries seeking to establish a
robust and self-sustaining system of measurement, reporting and
verification (MRV) of greenhouse gases.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:calibri;font-size:12pt"></span></font></p>

Making urban areas like Bangkok as safe and resilient as possible must be a policy priority for local and national governments. But to be effective, planning for urban resilience must be inclusive and involve local communities to prepare to deal with potential crises such as flooding, drought or an economic crisis. This briefing describes how a new interactive toolkit has been developed and tested in urban communities in Bangkok to help develop strategies for managing climate crises.</span></p>

Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) is an increasingly popular approach, which has been applied in El Salvador to help restore mangrove ecosystems in the Paz River, while strengthening community livelihoods at the same time. This briefing looks at the Adaptation, Vulnerability and Ecosystems Project in El Salvador; through it we explore how to judge EbA effectiveness and discuss some of the policy, institutional and capacity-related hurdles — and opportunities — to rolling out EbA more fully across the country. We suggest key next steps needed to overcome the challenges and so to maximise the potential EbA has already shown in the Paz River project.</span></p>

This briefing explores how learning from the local to national level informs planning and reporting from the bottom up, providing stronger evidence for adaptation assessments. Drawing on experience in Mali, Senegal, Morocco and Kenya, it unpacks how effective vertical integration of subnational and national M&amp;E can improve national planning and lead to more robust reporting while saving time and resources by making use of existing data collection mechanisms.</span></p>
