Aether’s MRV portals are bespoke, online, collaborative platform services designed to complement our consultancy, training, and mentoring services. Our customers are increasingly required to gather data on a regular basis from an array of different stakeholders and prepare a range of transparent reports, websites, briefings, and engagement activities. Aether’s MRV portals help with this task by providing a central place for data gathering, data structuring, archiving, and reporting solutions that can be accessed by a range of contributing stakeholders and used by focal points to collate information. Our MRV portals can support teams working on one or more thematic areas including GHG inventory and projections, analysis of risks and vulnerabilities, and gathering, enhancing, and reporting information on adaptation and mitigation actions and their support. Our customisable tool helps with keeping track of stakeholders, tasks, improvements, outputs, and reporting activities, for example, under Paris Agreement and its Enhanced Transparency Framework as well as other reporting frameworks. Aether’s portals are flexible online databases that can be provided using third party software services or designed and built from scratch to our well tested specification by our clients’ own IT team.
Our portals offer structured data collection, management, and output templates. During an MRV project data may be collected from a range of sources including surveys, reporting templates, model outputs, method descriptions, and stakeholder engagement. The portal offers a framework for collating and recording this data. We are continuously developing outputs that add value to the inputted data by enabling it to be used in multiple ways. We develop automated output tables that can be used in BURs, BTRs, NDCs, NCs, and other national reports. We also have expertise in providing a range of engagement tools including data visualisation, training and mentoring, and stakeholder consultation.
