The meeting took place following the technical meeting with some Italian research institutes such as ENEA, ISPRA, CMCC, during which new possible collaboration activities between the two countries were explored with particular reference to the themes of monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions, (MRV), forestation, (REDD+), and the development of off-grid technologies for access to energy in rural areas.
