Zimbabwe – Integrate SLCPs within climate commitment plans and inventories [ZB-22-001]

OVERVIEW

This project should support Ministry of Environment, Climate and Wildlife, Zimbabwe (Climate Change Management Department) in integrating short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) within its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation plan and greenhouse gas emission inventory process.

EXPECTED PROJECT OUTCOMES

Through the proposed outputs and activities, the project should achieve the following by its completion:
 

MINIMUM REQUIRED OUTPUTS

The project should deliver at a minimum:

• An updated SLCP analysis in key sectors (up to 2050) and assessment of the cost of implementing mitigation measures
• Implementation pathways/plans for priority SLCP measures (including those in the updated NDC)
• A portfolio of finance-ready projects for priority SLCP measures
• Training on monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) and transparency reporting and a plan for including SLCPs in these frameworks 
• A methane roadmap in line with a modality agreed with the CCAC Secretariat that  includes the waste, agriculture, and oil and gas sectors. The roadmap should build on the methane portion of the updated SLCP assessment.
• A roadmap for the implementation of mitigation measures of the household energy sector that includes developing implementation pathways, evaluating the multiple benefits, analysing the cost-benefit and developing a monitoring and evaluation framework for interventions in the sector.

Applicants are encouraged to propose additional outputs as needed to ensure the expected project outcomes are achieved.

GLOSSARY

Implementation pathway

• Refers to the identification of concrete actions for mitigation priorities

Methane roadmap

Should be in line with a modality agreed with the CCAC Secretariat. At minimum, a “methane roadmap” must:

• Identify methane mitigation pathways.
• Assess the cost of implementation.
• Assess the institutional arrangements for implementation.
• Develop a monitoring and evaluation framework for the methane mitigation pathways.

It may also include:
 

• Improvements to the national methane inventory
