Maldives - Increase mitigation in the Maldives's waste sector [MV-22-003]

  • Opening Date: 6 September 2022
  • Closing Date: 19 October 2022
  • Estimated project cost: USD 70,000

   

Overview

This project responds to a request by the Maldives’ Ministry of Environment to overcome the existing data limitations in the waste sector for informed decision-making and to assess the SLCP emissions from the waste sector.
 

Expected project outcomes

  • The government of Maldives has methodologies and standards to collect data from the waste sector that will lead to better GHG inventory from the waste sector.  
  • The government of Maldives has local GHG emissions factors from the waste sector that would improve the GHG emissions for future reporting under the UNFCCC on Maldives’ NDC implementation. 
  • The government of Maldives has improved data to understand the waste sector SLCP emissions and to implement the recommended mitigation measures  

 

Minimum required outputs

The project should deliver at a minimum:  

  • Development of data collection methodologies and standards.  
  • Development of emission factors in the local context regarding waste GHG emissions in the Maldives.
