Project Details
Overview
This CBIT project aims to strengthen the transparency systems of Ecuador in order to meet the requirements of the transparency framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. In doing so, the country is expected to streamline the collection, management, processing, and production of high-quality climate information for the purpose of international reporting. In addition, climate information will be used as an important decision-making tool at the national and sub-national level.
