The UNFCCC Secretariat is organizing a capacity-building workshop for the African region on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). The workshop aims to strengthen the use of NAMAs as a tool for pre-2020 and post-2020 climate change action. Regional mitigation experts from international organizations and the private sector will present on designing and implementing NAMAs, as well as support programmes, and participants will share experiences, lessons learned and best practices. Discussions will focus on challenges and issues faced, financial engineering and investment strategies for leveraging multi-source financing, measurement, reporting and verification (MRV), sustainable development co-benefits, and the NAMA Registry.
