NC/BUR WE LIKE

Chile’s Second Biennial Update Report (English)

This report was appreciated because: firstly, there is a concrete progress regarding the previous report, whether in the contents and in the transparency of the information, which shows a process of continuous improvement. Secondly, the information of Chile’s NDC has been included and analyzed, as well as the revision made by the ICA in the first BUR, which was considered for the development of the second BUR. Third, there is a follow-up of the needs and difficulties observed in the last report and thus an improvement in methodology and institutional arrangements. Finally, this BUR makes evident the usefulness of quantifying and reporting GHG emissions, in order to generate better policies and proposals for mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
