Project Description

GEF-CBIT will support Costa Rica in establishing an overarching structure across all sectors that will ensure high quality in its transparency instruments; and create the capacities to transcend in the usage of MRV for policy design inputs. 

 CBIT’s most important contribution will occur through the creation of capacities at an inter-sectoral level. This cross-sectorial work is fundamental to Costa Rica due to the economy-wide nature of its’ NDC target, which seeks to drive deep, transformational de-carbonization which can only be achieved incorporating multi/inter-sectoral approaches.
