In recent years, emission trading has emerged as a viable and economic policy framework for addressing climate change. During the firtst compliance phase of the national carbon market, concerns regarding the falsification of carbon emission data have garnered significant importance and scrutiny from the pertinent authorities. An inadequate monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system, exacerbated by insufficient legislation, technical innovation obstacles, and limited public awareness, poses substantial problems to obtaining high-quality emission data. In areas where emissions trading schemes (ETSs) are presently enforced, enhancing legislation and verification procedures is essential for guaranteeing the integrity of carbon emission data. Nonetheless, regulatory pressure can occasionally yield adverse effects. A case study analyzing the shift from traditional MRV to digital MRV illustrates that the development and implementation of a novel carbon data quality assurance system is attainable. This article aims to develop a multi-dimensional carbon emission data quality assurance scheme to enhance participation in the MRV system and outline a transformation pathway. The implementation of this scheme depends on synergies among various regimes within the multi-level perspective (MLP) theory, with technological progress propelling innovation in emissions measurement, bolstered by policy initiatives and enhanced through development and feedback mechanisms in niche sectors.
