The SINAMECC system, which is Costa Rica’s National Climate Change Metrics System (Sistema Nacional de Métrica de Cambio Climático, SINAMECC), was designed to improve evidence-based decision making on climate action and policy.
In particular, it supports governments with data collection and management, greenhouse gas inventory calculations and data storage, a mitigation and adaptation action registry, sustainable development impact analysis and related data visualizations.
Data collection and management features which can be used to automate or semi-automate data gathering and pre-processing for greenhouse gas inventory/BUR/NC/BTR development and NDC and policy MRV
A calculation engine to estimate the greenhouse gas inventory, based on the IPCC guidelines and gathered data
A mitigation action registry to keep track of and follow up on specific targets, policies and projects and their emissions
Data visualizations and open data portal to facilitate transparency and data sharing, simplifying the reporting process
Systems management functionalities including user access and automatic notification administration
