International Climate Compliance Frameworks
Aligning Mobility Carbon Accounting with Global Standards — IPCC, UNFCCC, ICAT, and Paris Agreement Article 6.
From Reporting to Verification: The Global Compliance Shift
Across every jurisdiction, the language of climate accountability is evolving — from self-declared estimates to verifiable, data-driven proof.
The IPCC, UNFCCC, and Paris Agreement’s Article 6 now define how emissions must be measured, transferred, and monetized across borders.
Yet, while national inventories track emissions in aggregate, few systems connect real-time activity — especially in transport — to these frameworks.
Metre 360 bridges that divide.
By aligning directly with IPCC Tier-3 emission logic and ICAT’s transparency templates, our architecture transforms estimated emissions into verified, jurisdiction-compliant, and audit-ready data.
What was once a report becomes an enforceable asset.

(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) -
UNFCCC
(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) -
ICAT
(Initiative for Climate Action Transparency) -
Paris Agreement
Article 6 (6.2, 6.4, 6.8)
-
ISO 14064
& GHG Protocol
-
European Union
(EU CSRD / EU ETS)
-
ISSB

(International Financial Reporting Standards)
Purpose
- Provides scientific methods for GHG accounting through Tier-based emission quantification..
- Governs national inventories and climate reporting under global transparency rules.
- Builds transparent MRV systems for Paris-aligned mitigation across sectors.
- Enables verified trading and transfer of emission outcomes between nations.
- Standardizes organizational GHG measurement and ESG disclosure practices.
- Enforces corporate sustainability reporting and carbon-market compliance within member states.
-
Defines global sustainability disclosure baselines for investors and regulators.
- Integrates climate-related metrics into financial accounting and assurance.
Alignment
- Extends Tier 3 methodology with real-time, condition-aware emission verification.
- Outputs verified transport data formatted for NDC and sovereign MRV submission.
- Integrates as a transport module within ICAT frameworks via ministries or NCCOs.
- Creates jurisdiction-tagged credits eligible for ITMO and bilateral cooperation.
- Supplies verifiable Scope 1–3 data streams for CSRD and audit alignment.
- Delivers verified mobility data compatible with EU ETS and CSRD disclosure requirements.
-
Provides transport-sector data aligned with ISSB S1/S2 metrics for financial materiality.
- Links verified emission assets to IFRS-compliant climate and sustainability statements.
Compliance is no longer optional, guesstimated or assumed — it is measurable, monetizable, and sovereign by design.
The Gap: Where Policy Meets Reality
Policy Exists — Verification Doesn’t
Current systems like IPCC and CDM were designed for a slower era — when emissions were modeled, not measured.
ICAT, Gold Standard, and Verra have improved transparency, but their reliance on static project reports leaves road transport largely unverified.
The result: trillions in untapped mitigation potential, uncredited reductions, and unverifiable ESG disclosures.
Metre 360 closes this verification gap by introducing real-time, condition-aware validation, embedding AI and telematics into global compliance logic.
This makes transportation — the world’s most under-quantified sector — a verified contributor to Paris Agreement Article 6 targets and sovereign MRV reports.
Integration With National Frameworks
From Global Standards to Local Enforcement
Countries already participating in ICAT and UNFCCC transparency programs can integrate Metre 360 as a Tier 3 transport module within their National MRV platforms.
The system interfaces directly with ministries, vehicle inspection agencies, and registries — providing automatic data exchange, QA/QC logic, and jurisdictional compliance overlays for NDC reporting.
Through this structure:
National Climate Change Offices (NCCOs) remain data custodians.
Transport Ministries act as sector leads.
Metre 360 functions as the verified emission data engine.
The result: transparent, sovereign-owned, interoperable emissions infrastructure.
Toward a Circular Carbon Economy
Building Fiscal Integrity Into Climate Action
By harmonizing IPCC, ICAT, and Paris mechanisms with real-time data, Metre 360 turns verified reductions into fiscal assets — enabling issuance of Green Bonds, Sukuk, and ITMOs.
This architecture creates a circular carbon economy, where verified emission savings re-enter national budgets, infrastructure finance, and social reward systems.
In this model:
Integrate Verified Transport Emissions Into National MRV Systems
Metre 360 helps sovereigns, consultancies, and institutions transition from estimated inventories to verified, monetizable data.
Our system is built to integrate seamlessly with existing transparency and audit frameworks — from ICAT pilot nations to IPCC Tier 3 implementers.
