10 December 2014: Ecuador is preparing its second national communication and its first biennial update report (BUR) to the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC, which will update and enhance information on its national circumstances, greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, climate change mitigation, vulnerability to climate change and steps taken to adapt to climate change. The reports will also provide information on public awareness, education, training, systematic research and observation and technology transfer.
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is supporting Ecuador to produce its reports through a UN Development Programme (UNDP) project. Activities include: carrying out nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs); and taking into account past experiences with mechanisms such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The project also aims to increase Ecuador’s capacity to produce additional national communications in the future. [Mitigation Partnership Press Release]
