Our mission
The 1 Gigaton Coalition aims to measure and report reductions of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives and programmes that are not accounted for in the Emissions Gap Report, which are estimated to be 1 GtCO2e by 2020.
We aim to do so by creating a methodology in our annual 1 Gigaton Coalition reports, which will highlight specific countries and programmes by applying this methodology. We also collaborate with partners and stakeholders by holding workshops and webinars on common challenges with emissions calculation methodologies, and avenues for collaboration for a harmonised methodology.
What we do
-
Annual Report of the 1GtCOur reports create a methodology to quantify GHG reductions from initiatives for renewable energy and energy efficiency in developing countries, and highlights success stories.
-
WorkshopsWe hold workshops throughout the year on topics including the 1GtC methodology application, harmonised MRV methodology and gender.
-
1GtC MeetingsWe hold three annual meetings; a Coalition Meeting for all stakeholders, the Technical Advisory Group meeting and the Steering Group meeting.
