Duration : 12 months, renewable

1. Background

CVE/401 intends to strengthen climate governance and climate action in Cabo Verde. The aim is to contribute to achieving a paradigm shift, combining emission reductions with socio-ecological resilience and physical resistance of the citizens, ecosystems, and assets in the face of climate change.

The overall objective of this intervention consists in supporting Cabo Verde in the implementation by 2025 of its new climate policy, as materialised by the recent Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC - March 2021) and National Adaptation Plan (NAP - July 2021), setting-up a consolidated climate governance resulting in a more climate resilient and low-carbon country. The specific objective seeks to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of climate governance and climate action allowing to operationalise the Enhanced Transparency Framework and thereby assisting the country in meeting its international climate commitments as defined in the 2015 Paris Agreement (signed by Cabo Verde in 2016).
