SCROLL FOR THE DEFINITIONTRUSTEDTRUCKSN 52.52° / E 13.40°
01DefinitionUnited Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

A multi-step governance process ensuring climate actions and emissions reductions are transparently measured, reported, and audited.

01 / CANONICAL DEFINITION

What it means.

Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) describes the systematic process of quantifying greenhouse gas emissions (Measurement), submitting transparent emissions inventories to stakeholders (Reporting), and subjecting calculations to independent third-party audit (Verification).

02 / ROLE IN TRUSTEDTRUCKS

Where it is used.

Defines the end-to-end data lifecycle for carbon accounting in TrustedTrucks: IoT telematics measure fuel consumption, the GLEC engine reports footprints, and accredited auditors verify carbon insets for tokenization.

03 / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Automated workflow transitioning through 12 formal MRV lifecycle stages from initial fuel telemetry to statutory registry retirement.

04 / WHAT IT MUST NOT IMPLY

Read it carefully.

An internal emissions calculation is merely 'Measured and Reported'; it cannot be labeled 'Verified' until attested by an accredited independent verification body.
