About this project
Description
This Enabling Activity project will assist Brazil to prepare the Fourth National Communication (4NC) and Biennial Update Reports (BUR) required to meet obligations under the UNFCCC. The objective is to extend coverage of the annual Brazilian Inventory of Anthropogenic GHGs to period 1990-2016, focusing on the sectors/gases that have a significant share of GHG emissions and/or present a large degree of data uncertainty. The Brazilian Earth System Model (BESM) and downscaling with the Regional Earth System Model, developed to reduce the uncertainties in V&A assessments for different sectors, will be used to document climate scenarios. Furthermore, Brazil's description of national circumstances will be updated, as well as the steps to be taken or envisaged to implement the Convention. Finally, the project will continue to build institutional capacity for implementing the Convention in Brazil including undertaking activities related to climate change education and awareness.
Objectives
To assist the Government of Brazil to perform the activities necessary to prepare the Fourth National Communication and Biennial Update Reports in accordance with the UNFCCC.
