At the same time, these mitigation policies and methods are diverse in terms of the MRV approach and their mitigation effects.

文摘Based on a number of sector mitigation policies for domestic systems, this paper demonstrates how measurable, reportable and verifiable （MRV） mechanisms are applied at the sector level in China. At the same time, these mitigation policies and methods are diverse in terms of the MRV approach and their mitigation effects. These characters should be regulated as part of case foundation in the international construction of MRV.
