ICAT proporciona a los países apoyo personalizado, así como herramientas y metodologías prácticas para crear marcos de transparencia sólidos que les permitirán lograr una acción climática eficaz, en consonancia con las prioridades nacionales de desarrollo.
Los países deben disponer de datos e información fiables para poder adoptar medidas climáticas eficaces en consonancia con los objetivos del Acuerdo de París.
Se necesitan marcos de datos eficaces para diseñar e implementar políticas y acciones sólidas basadas en evidencias para hacer frente al cambio climático.
A través de marcos de transparencia sólidos se puede lograr la titularidad nacional y la integración de las partes interesadas, así como garantizar la rendición de cuentas a nivel nacional e internacional.
Al poder demostrar el impacto de las políticas climáticas en el desarrollo sostenible de un país, los marcos de transparencia permiten integrar la política climática en los procesos de planificación nacional, mejorar la movilización de fondos y promover un cambio transformador.
La transparencia permite a los países afrontar el cambio climático de manera eficaz y avanzar al mismo tiempo en sus prioridades nacionales de desarrollo.
Para ayudar a los países en desarrollo a establecer los marcos de transparencia necesarios para adoptar medidas climáticas eficaces y avanzar en las prioridades nacionales de desarrollo sostenible, ICAT concentra sus esfuerzos en cuatro áreas.
ICAT presta apoyo práctico adaptado a las necesidades y prioridades nacionales de cada país
