Project Details
Overview
The objective of this project is that Argentina complies with the requirements of the transparency framework under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
Under component 1, the project aimed to improve the quality of the national GHG inventory in line with the TACCC (Transparency, Accuracy, Consistency, Completeness, and Comparability) principles. Under component 2, the project intends to provide tools and capacities to enhance and scale up the domestic MRV systems both to track mitigation actions and the support received. Under Component 3, the project collaborated by increasing the local technical skills and capabilities, as well as with the generation of specialized inputs and sensitivity analysis tools that were used for the instruments of national climate change policy.
