Building the capacity of developing countries to track progress
towards meeting domestic climate, energy, and development goals.
Developing countries face the challenge of meeting development
goals while at the same time reducing their greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions in order to address climate change. For these efforts
to succeed, effective systems are needed to manage greenhouse
gases and related emissions reduction activities. To that end,
the World Resources Institute (WRI) is working through the
Measurement and Performance Tracking (MAPT) project to build
national capacities in developing countries to measure GHG
emissions and track performance toward low-carbon development
goals. Lessons learned are also being shared with international
audiences in order to replicate successes and inform the design
of relevant rules within the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC). WRI is partnering with a broad range
of relevant stakeholders within the six MAPT countries,
including government ag
