Supporting Global Research Alliance in Africa and Asia

With commitments to the Paris Agreement and the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture decision in place, countries have to implement new strategies for adaptation and mitigation within the agricultural sector. For this, countries agreed to shift towards Tier 2 approaches for livestock emissions to support their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Monitoring, Verification and Reporting (MRV) of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Context-specific plans and policies have to be developed to access climate finance. However, accounting of GHG emissions and removals by countries often remains challenging. UNIQUE was engaged to assist selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia to measure and monitor progress towards their NDCs, aiming to improve progress on the Paris Agreement goals and to help countries meet their obligations.
