ICAT PROJECT DETAILS: PHASE II

Objective

Develop further the analysis of the impacts associated with sustainable development and transformational change to support the implementation of the Decarbonisation Plan in a way that it takes a holistic approach to sustainable development, exploits synergies with the SDGs, and strengthens the efforts to establish a domestic carbon market.

Workplan

  1. Update of operational guidance for SINAMECC based on the information generated by the pilots (SD and TC components of SINAMECC).
  2. Assessment of Transformational Change as criterion for demonstrating “additionally” in a domestic carbon market.
  3. Training to apply the sustainable development and transformational change components of the SINAMECC Operational Guidance.
