Project Details
Overview
The problem that this project seeks to address is that Antigua and Barbuda’s data collection, monitoring, reporting and verification under the UNFCCC is conducted on a project-by-project basis. This approach limits the scope of what can be monitored and report, it results in methodological biases that can be consultant-specific and not nationally owned and appropriate approaches, and the project-specific approach does not build sustained in-country capacity. Further, as Antigua and Barbuda increases the scale and transformational impacts of climate change actions towards NDC goals, a project-by-project approach will result in higher MRV costs as it is less efficient.
