Pakistan - Deliver a Methane Roadmap [PK-22-002]

This project aims to support Pakistan’s Ministry of Climate Change in developing a methane roadmap building on previous CCAC projects. 

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

The project should deliver at a minimum:

• A methane roadmap that follows a methodology agreed with the CCAC Secretariat. This should include:
  • Capacity building workshops and support tools to train relevant people in the Ministry of Climate Change on the development of a national greenhouse gas emissions inventory for methane emitting sectors that will support Pakistan’s future reporting under the UNFCCC on Pakistan’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation. This includes training on refined data methodologies.
  • A methane mitigation assessment for key priority measures, including an assessment of the institutional arrangements, the policy and regulatory environment, the cost of implementation, and a monitoring and evaluation framework for methane mitigation as a contribution to the preparation of Pakistan’s NDC implementation plans. An ongoing LEAP-IBC analysis could be used as input.
  • A portfolio of project ideas for methane mitigation in Pakistan considering the inputs generated by the mitigation assessment. This should build on the methane mitigation assessment.

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

To be eligible for consideration, project proposals must meet the following requirements:
  

• Are complete and submitted before the deadline 
• Are submitted by a non-governmental organization (NGO), intergovernmental organization (IGO), or other not-for-profit entity

More information regarding Pakistan’s involvement as a CCAC Partner is available on their Partner Page.

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
