• News 23 April 2024 Enhancing Ethiopia's Climate Action Capacity Measuring and tracking the impacts of planned climate actions, and managing related finance flows is vital for successful climate action. This is also the case for Ethiopia, where the country is now, after implementing an ICAT project, better placed to estimate the emission reduction potential of possible mitigation actions and their related costs, and establish a tracking framework to see the realized reductions of implemented policies. Additionally, Ethiopia is armed to manage and track its…
• News 2 April 2024 Continuous climate reporting is key to transparency This March, Türkiye received a team of six experts nominated by the UNFCCC Secretariat (UN Climate Change) to review the contents of its 8th National Communication and 5th Biennial Report. National Communications are the window to periodically learn about country’s advances towards the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. A range of information is included in these reports: From the updated national inventory and projections of future emissions, mitigation and adaptation measures the countries…
• News 21 February 2024 An introduction to GACMO 2.0 An upgraded version of the Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO) is now available, enabling informed decision-making on climate change. GACMO 2.0 provides countries with a clear understanding of the implications of their climate mitigation actions, to enact meaningful change and contribute to global emissions reduction. Last week an introductory webinar delved into how GACMO’s rapid, yet precise scenario analysis can be used for preparing and updating NDCs and to prepare national climate…
• News 13 February 2024 New emissions projection tool ready for use in Cuba January marked a significant milestone for Cuba in its efforts to meet the transparency requirements of the Paris Agreement. A capacity building workshop introduced key stakeholders to the new version of the Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO), equipping them with tools for NDC tracking and reporting. GACMO 2.0 can be downloaded here. The Enhanced Transparency Framework of the Paris Agreement requires countries to report on national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projections. The…

Providing countries with a clear understanding of the implications of their climate mitigation actions, the new GACMO version allows countries to enact meaningful change and contribute to global emissions reductions. The new version of GACMO can be downloaded freely here. Transparent climate action Data on current and future greenhouse gas…
• News 7 November 2023 New UN report identifies how non-state actors can strengthen climate action transparency To meaningfully address the mounting impacts of the climate crisis, humanity must bolster transparency and accountability at all levels, including in pledges from non-state actors (NSAs), according to a new UNEP report. As the world contends with increasing extreme climate events, such as droughts, floods and wildfires, NSAs can play a critical role in strengthening climate action, experts say. However, their role in national climate efforts remains largely undocumented, according to the UNEP…
• Project 1 November 2023 Measuring Uganda's Climate Vulnerabilities The project is to assist Government of Uganda to identify and measure national climate vulnerabilities and to track adaptation efforts and resilience in selected sectorsClimate change in Uganda is predicted to cause temperature rise and to make rainfall seasonality more erratic, including changes in onset, duration and intensity punctuated with intra-seasonal dry spells, which are expected to further increase climate vulnerabilities and risks. To respond to those risks, the Government of Uganda…
• News 16 October 2023 Assessing disruptive innovations and behaviours for climate action in Argentina As emissions continue to rise and temperatures show no sign of declining, disruption of the status quo with innovations aimed at combating climate change is moving up the agenda. As part of the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) project in Argentina, UNEP-CCC, as implementing partner in the project, has co-authored a new paper assessing disruptive innovations and behaviours for decarbonising the economy in Argentina, while strengthening climate resilience. The paper highlights…
