The document summarizes discussions from breakout sessions at a Climate Change Expert Group meeting on accounting for nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Key points discussed include: 1) The purpose of mitigation accounting is to transparently explain and track progress towards greenhouse gas emission targets. Greenhouse gas inventories are the fundamental tool to do so consistently over time. 2) Issues to resolve include whether targets should be single- or multi-year, how to account for land use emissions, and how to handle NDCs with multiple targets. 3) Accounting guidance is needed before, during, and after NDC implementation to inform communication, track progress, and account for changes over time in things like business as usual projections
