Cuba Cuba

Cuba worked with ICAT to develop a new baseline and mitigation scenario for the energy sector within Cuba’s new NDC, incorporating identified mitigation actions. This involved designing a monitoring and reporting framework for the energy sector, considering international reporting requirements. A follow-up project focused on strengthening capacities to meet the country’s reporting requirements through the BTR and update the NDC. Currently, Cuba is working with ICAT to strengthen national capacity to design a technical and methodological proposal for a “below business-as-usual” NDC, and to develop a relevant MRV proposal.

Project 3

Objectives

Strengthen national capacities to develop a technical-methodological proposal for an NDC of the ‘below business-as-usual’ type and make a proposal for tracking and reporting under the MRV system that the country is currently building.

Components

  • GHG projections GHG projections
  • MRV frameworks MRV frameworks
  • NDC tracking NDC tracking
  • Policy assessment Policy assessment
Status: In progress
Start date: October, 2025
  • Define the mitigation actions Policies and Measures (PAMs) that can boost the increase in NDC ambition in the medium term
  • Strengthen the information system to address transparency in the management of the NDC in the medium term
  • Define methodologies and adapt the calculation tools for the impact assessment of PAMs on GHG emission behaviour and on the NDC indicators for each scenario
  • Define the impact of PAMs on GHG emission behavior for each scenario and the possibilities for increasing medium term ambition
  • Update the national MRV procedures and guidelines based on the results

Deliverables will be made available here as the project progresses.

Project highlights will be displayed here as the project implementation progresses.

Project 2

Objectives

The project is focused on strengthening capacities to meet the country’s reporting requirements through the BTR and on carrying out studies to propose the elevation of the ambition of the country’s mitigation contributions.

Components

  • GHG projections GHG projections
  • MRV frameworks MRV frameworks
  • Policy assessment Policy assessment
  • Sectoral climate data systems Sectoral climate data systems
Status: complete
Start date: September, 2023
End date: November, 2024
  • The country’s BTR reporting capabilities are strengthened by building capacity to use GACMO as a projections tool.
  • Technical proposal made to increase the ambition in mitigation contributions for the next NDC update in the sectors of RE, transport, forests and swine, including the use of TRACE to evaluate environmental co-benefits in the transport sector and the establishment of a target for the residential sub-sector.
  • Proposal for the establishment of a legal framework for data collection.
  • Scoping report to identify the most appropriate digital platform for data and information management for Cuba.

Project 1

Objectives

Develop a new baseline and mitigation system for the energy sector in the context of the new NDC; design a monitoring and reporting framework for the energy sector in the context of the new NDC and taking into account the international requirements in terms of reporting.

Components

  • GHG projections GHG projections
  • MRV frameworks MRV frameworks
  • NDC tracking NDC tracking
Status: complete
Start date: September, 2020
End date: September, 2023
  1. Develop a new baseline and mitigation scenario for the energy sector in the context of its new NDC taking into account the new mitigation actions identified.
  2. Design a monitoring and reporting framework (institutional aspects and/or monitoring indicators) for the energy sector in the context of the new NDC and taking into account international requirements in terms of reporting (NC, BUR, BR, Inventories).
