Project reference: Panama - Deliver National Methane Roadmap and SLCP Roadmap focused on black carbon [PA-22-002]

Objectives

The project will achieve the following by its completion:

The government has increased capacity to:
- Assess and model their SLCP emissions, to prioritize and implement mitigation measures, and to track progress.
- Coordinate SLCP planning
The government endorses the methane roadmap.

What we're doing

The main project deliverables are:

An SLCP roadmap that includes an emissions inventory , emissions projections, and mitigation assessments to strengthen consideration of SLCPs, especially black carbon, in Panama’s NDC and air quality plans.
A methane roadmap that follows a methodology agreed with the CCAC Secretariat. The work to be delivered should build on the SLCP roadmap.
A capacity building workshop to present results of the project, validate the roadmap, and to train relevant stakeholders on monitoring black carbon emissions.
