Recognizing the special circumstances of small island developing states, data analysis on submitted NCs and BURs show that Caribbean Countries are facing significant challenges in advancing with the establishment of an enhanced transparency framework.
Therefore, a group of organizations, namely UNDP, UNEP, UNFCCC’s RCC and the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute, with generous funding from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and GEF, are collaborating to set up the Caribbean Cooperative MRV Hub (CCMRVH), which will empower English-speaking countries in the region to efficiently develop GHG inventories, mitigation assessments, and track NDCs.
The Hub, which will be formally launched at this meeting, is a unique, sustainable, and country-driven partnership designed to foster regional technical excellence and generate stronger policy-relevant carbon accounting. Country experts and Hub staff will function as a true learning and mentoring cooperative.
