Belize

CAEP support

The Government of Belize set more ambitious mitigation and adaptation targets, encompassing a wider range of sectors and gasses and qualitative measures.

CAEP supported the assessment of mitigation and adaptation policies, strategies and plans across sectors; inclusive consultations and; modelling to inform quantitative and qualitative targets of the revised NDC.

CAEP support

The updated targets are supported by more robust data and underlying modelling, strengthening in turn capacity for implementation, monitoring and evaluation of targets.

CAEP supported analytical activities on modelling and projections of AFOLU, energy and solid waste sectors.
CAEP supported the costing of the NDC and elaboration of a resource-requirement report.
CAEP activities also focused on capacity building within Belize’s Statistical Institute’s Energy Unit to create and manage MRV system. The support focused on data collection methods, a review of mitigation actions that can be tracked under the MRV and a handover workshop with key stakeholders to ensure an effective knowledge transfer.
The NDC enhanced its Implementation Plan and Climate Finance Strategy by setting clear objectives, resource requirements, institutional responsibilities.
CAEP supported the design of the multisector NDC Implementation Plan through analytical activities on climate policy, consultations at national and subnational levels, alignment of NDC actions with sectoral priorities, costing, and validation with stakeholders responsible for meeting the sectoral targets.
The Climate Finance Strategy is based on a detailed Resource Requirements report which was supported by CAEP.

CAEP support

Government of Belize commissioned a gender sensitivity analysis of its targets to enhance the transparency and inclusiveness of their NDC.

CAEP supported a gender scoring analysis of various climate-related projects, which resulted in a set of recommendations for enhancing the inclusion of women and vulnerable groups at both the activity and sector level.
