Strengthening Capacity in the Energy, Agriculture, Forestry and other Land-use Sectors for Enhanced Transparency in the Implementation and Monitoring of Benin's Nationally Determined Contribution
By 2023 Benin is preparing reports to the UNFCCC under the Paris Agreement Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) with strengthened energy, agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector components including inventories of emission sources and sinks and information necessary to track progress against priority actions identified in Benin’s NDC for these sectors.
1.1 Institutional arrangements enhanced for coordinating information and data from the energy and AFOLU sectors into ETF processes and reports
1.2 Data and information collection, QA/QC processes and system infrastructure enhanced
2.1 Monitoring of NDC mitigation activities and reporting on inventories of greenhouse gases from the energy and AFOLU sectors strengthened
3.1 Monitoring and evaluation of NDC priority adaptation actions in the energy and AFOLU sectors strengthened
