Description
Canada supports countries in the Pacific Alliance (Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) and Western Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo) to define regional priorities to address greenhouse gas (GHG) and short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) emissions and to pursue opportunities to strengthen their capacity to measure, report, and verify (MRV) emissions. This project will facilitate South-South MRV collaboration and knowledge sharing within and between the Pacific Alliance and West Africa as a mean of exchanging best practices and supporting the replication of best practices generated from Canada’s climate finance sectoral projects in each region. Through capacity-building and regional collaboration efforts, this project will support countries to achieve their respective Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
Results/Expected Outcomes
This project supports efforts by the Pacific Alliance and Western African countries to:
• Increase awareness and familiarization of climate targets, policies and the status of climate MRV systems in each nation in order to strengthen MRV capacity and support NDC implementation.
• Support approaches to strengthen institutional arrangement, climate governance structures and improve the effectiveness of national climate MRV systems within each nation.
• Support harmonization of climate MRV within the region, including mitigation activities, emission inventories and climate finance.
The project provides support to the Pacific Alliance's Technical Sub-Group on MRV and Climate Change (SGT-MRVCC) to implement the Presidential Mandate to cooperate on MRV in a manner that helps mobilize climate finance, enhance ambition of climate actions and support NDC implementation with the Pacific Alliance.
To support the countries to achieve these objectives, the project will engage in capacity building, provide technical expertise, and facilitate inter- and intra-regional collaboration and dialogues.
