About this project

Description

This project aims to enhance the efficiency of national climate change actions and the synergies with other related national actions, policies and measures, walking along a path to reach an integral, climate resilient and low-carbon development. The project will strengthen national capacities, both institutional and technical, pursuing more efficient articulation to allow an enhanced enabling environment for transparency-related activities, as well as adopting or improving methodologies and tools to enhance transparency as requested in Article 13 of the Paris Agreement. Through this strengthening, Uruguay will be more efficient in the definition, development and implementation of policies and measures, based on more timely and accurate information, monitoring and assessment of the instruments applied to face climate change. A gender- sensitive approach will be included in methodologies for assessing the adequacy, effectiveness and effects of adaptation actions and mitigation actions and policies effects. The expected results are: 1) establishment of an efficient and articulated institutionality that allows the development of transparency-related activities; 2) design and establishment of a domestic monitoring, reporting and measurement system; 3) improvement of national GHG inventories; 4) strengthen capacity on transparency-relates activities from country specific trainings and regional peer exchanges.
