What Is Digital MRV?
Digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification uses digital tools and connected data processes to support the measurement, documentation, analysis, and reporting of climate-related activities and greenhouse gas emissions.
Digital MRV can support review and verification processes. It does not itself certify or verify carbon credits.
Report
Transform monitored information into structured calculations, indicators, analytics, and reports.
Verify
Prepare organized, traceable information that can support review and verification processes.
Why it matters
Good climate decisions need dependable information.
Digital systems can support clearer data processes and more useful monitoring, while outcomes still depend on methods, implementation, and data quality.
Better data
More structured and connected data collection.
Stronger accountability
Clearer records of activities, calculations, and reporting.
Better decisions
Data can support climate investment and project-management decisions.
Scalable monitoring
Digital systems can support monitoring across larger and more complex projects.

Data begins in the field
Where Climate Data Begins
Relevant information starts with project activities and the systems being monitored. Depending on the project, digital collection can connect field records, activity data, devices, and technology performance.
