Building National Capacities of Nepal to meet requirements of the Enhanced Transparency Framework of the Paris Agreement

Capacity building of government at different levels (federal and provincial) and multi-stakeholders such as private sectors, academia, etc. through training and technical support would significantly improve the national capacities to transparently and regularly report on progress in implementing Nepal’s NDC targets including monitoring and reporting on (a) GHG emissions or reductions attributed to a particular mitigation action; (b) climate-related support provided by the Government of Nepal or received from donors or the market in a form of finance and its impact in terms of technological enhancement, capacity building, or implementation of a certain action or as a result of an action taken in a particular sector of the economy; (c) policy support to identify alternatives to achieve climate resilient development. This would also address the capacity gap and dependency on international experts. Improvements in data collection, monitoring, analysis, reporting and validation will support policy decisions and their implementation, and in the longer run establish a low carbon development pathway for the country. GHG data and information generated will help government agencies to design appropriate measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Further, the required data collection, analyzes, monitoring and reporting would create new local jobs. In addition, transparent reporting and data-based decision-making will enhance climate resilience and coping strategies of the local people which increases their adaptive capacity and resilience to climate change generating less loss and hire income.
