Ensuring the Transparency of Subnational Climate Change Mitigation Measures in Developing and Emerging Countries

Completed     Global
01 Sep 2018 to 31 Oct 2022

Description

MRV for transparency is a crucial foundation for policy-making within the framework of the Paris Agreement, extending to subnational levels. The first phase of the project supported state governments in Brazil (Pernambuco), India (Chhattisgarh, West Bengal), Mexico (Baja California, Yucatán, and Jalisco), and South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal) in addressing MRV capacity gaps and implementing climate change mitigation measures. Additionally, the project facilitated cross-national dialogues between national, subnational, and local governments to achieve vertical integration of climate protection measures. The second phase focused on tailored interventions in Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul, Amapá), Colombia (Antioquia, Boyacá, Caqueta), India (Jammu & Kashmir), Mexico (Sonora, Guanajuato), and South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng). Experiences gained were disseminated through the "Under2 Coalition" network of states and regions.
