This component is focused on the development and implementation of one or several sectoral MRV frameworks covering: 

• The estimation, compilation, quality control and quality assurance, and timely reporting and continuous updating of national inventory reports.
• The estimation of expected and achieved GHG emission reductions for national actions, policies and measures.
• Projections of future trends in GHG emissions and removals and impacts of mitigation policies and measures.

This component can target either updating existing institutional arrangements or developing completely new arrangements to bridge critical gaps.

Applicable tools and methodologies: 

• A national GHG inventory software
• ICAT data system with the Inventory module (WIP)
• IPCC software

This component aims to develop and implement an NDC tracking framework to fulfill the requirements of Section III of the Modalities, Procedures and Guidelines (MPGs – decision 18/CMA.1), i.e. “Information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving nationally determined contributions under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement”. It covers an NDC tracking framework and capacity to implement and maintain its functionality, including:

• The indicator(s) to track progress towards the implementation and achievement of a country’s NDCs under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement;
• The adapted system to be used as an NDC tracking tool;
• Institutional, legal, and procedural arrangements for data collection, processing; and
• Arrangements for ex post evaluation of the progress made in achieving NDC and inputs to the NDC update process.

Applicable tools and methodologies: 

• A national NDC tracking tool
• GHG Abatement Cost MOdel (GACMO)
• ICAT data system with the Inventory module (WIP)

This component supports a national process and the selection/development of supporting tool(s) for the projection of GHG emissions and removals, including building capacity to develop and maintain various scenarios of projections of GHG emissions, and developing at least a ‘with measures’ projection of GHG emissions and removals in accordance with the requirements of the MPGs – decision 18/CMA.1.

Applicable tools and methodologies: 

• GHG Abatement Cost MOdel (GACMO)
• The Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP)
• Price-Induced Market Equilibrium System (PRIMES)
• PROSPECTS+

This component aims to support the assessment of the impact of national policies and measures through the application of one or more of ICAT’s assessment guides:

• The Renewable Energy Methodology
• The Transport Pricing Methodology
• The Forestry Methodology
• The Buildings Efficiency Methodology
• The Agriculture Methodology
• The Sustainable Development Methodology
• The Transformational Change Methodology
• Stakeholder Participation Methodology
• Technical Review Methodology

This component is aimed at supporting national governments in gaining an enhanced understanding of non-state and subnational mitigation actions in the country and enabling their aggregation and possible integration into national targets and mitigation plans. This includes the assessment of the potential aggregate impact of selected non-state and subnational actions done by applying the ICAT Non-State and Subnational Action Guide and its accompanying tool, the Climate Action Aggregation Tool.

This component is aimed at the development and implementation of a framework that supports the tracking of climate finance at national level, in the context of NDC implementation and the benefits associated with climate action, and linked to national development finance; it enables integration of such data in a country’s transparency framework.

This component is aimed at the development and implementation of one or several sectoral or economy-wide just transition monitoring and evaluation frameworks that can support policy makers to make informed decisions, build stakeholder support for transformational climate action, and monitor progress towards just transition goals.

This component is aimed at setting up an IT tool/system to be used for: 

• Streamlining data collection processes by linking multiple stakeholders involved in the data collection process, such as data providers, and technical or quality control teams.  
• Conducting GHG impact assessments using both ex ante and ex post approaches based on international methodologies such as ICAT methodologies, Clean Development Mechanism methodologies or other  methodologies.
• Calculating costs associated with selected climate actions, generating a marginal abatement curve based on the assessments conducted by the user. 
• Tracking climate actions and preparing reports guided by the requirements of common tabular formats for the electronic reporting of the information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving nationally determined contributions under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement.

Applicable tools and methodologies: 

• The climate data system SINAMECC
• ICAT’s Transport Climate Action Data (TraCAD) tool which can be expanded to other sectors.

This component is focused on the development and implementation of one or several sectoral M&E frameworks systems to monitor and evaluate the implementation of adaptation actions.

Applicable methodologies and tools:

• Reporting adaptation through the biennial transparency report
• Assessing climate change-driven losses and damage
• Fostering successful adaptation projects
• Integrating subnational and non-state actors into M&E for adaptation
