Ethiopia Ethiopia

ICAT supported Ethiopia in conducting a CO2 emission reduction impact assessment of mitigation policies and actions in the energy sector. A follow-up set of activities supported Ethiopia in assessing the tools used for the NDC update, as well as in building capacity to assess mitigation options through use of the GACMO tool, which will also be the basis for the development of Ethiopia’s NDC tracking framework. As a final activity, the ICAT project built capacity on Article 6 and the related MRV requirements, preparing Ethiopia to engage with carbon markets.
