Project description
In compliance with the commitments assumed in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Government of El Salvador presented its First National Communication on Climate Change (PCNCC) in 2000 and the Second National Communication (SCNCC) in 2013 , same year that the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources launched The National Climate Change Strategy.The second national communication highlighted the need to develop a National System for capturing and storing information on greenhouse gas emissions (SINGEI) from the Third National Communication (TCN). For this purpose, the main objective of the Third National Communication on Climate Change (TCNCC) is to give continuity to the strengthening of technical and institutional capacities for carrying out information activities on climate change in a continuous manner; integration and implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures with a gender approach in the different sectors of the country in order to reduce vulnerability and reduce the impact of climate change; all based on sectoral vulnerability studies and Greenhouse Effect Gas Inventories, updated climate scenarios and cost-benefit analysis of mitigation measures.
