Central America prepares for stronger climate pledges in 2025
View Story
Cuba worked with ICAT to develop a new baseline and mitigation scenario for the energy sector within Cuba’s new NDC, incorporating identified mitigation actions. This involved designing a monitoring and reporting framework for the energy sector, considering international reporting requirements. A follow-up project focused on strengthening capacities to meet the country’s reporting requirements through the BTR and update the NDC. Currently, Cuba is working with ICAT to strengthen national capacity to design a technical and methodological proposal for a “below business-as-usual” NDC, and to develop a relevant MRV proposal.

Overview
Strengthen national capacities to develop a technical-methodological proposal for an NDC of the ‘below business-as-usual’ type and make a proposal for tracking and reporting under the MRV system that the country is currently building.
- Define the mitigation actions Policies and Measures (PAMs) that can boost the increase in NDC ambition in the medium term
- Strengthen the information system to address transparency in the management of the NDC in the medium term
- Define methodologies and adapt the calculation tools for the impact assessment of PAMs on GHG emission behaviour and on the NDC indicators for each scenario
- Define the impact of PAMs on GHG emission behavior for each scenario and the possibilities for increasing medium term ambition
- Update the national MRV procedures and guidelines based on the results
Project highlights will be displayed here as the project implementation progresses.
Deliverables will be made available here as the project progresses.

Overview
The project is focused on strengthening capacities to meet the country's reporting requirements through the BTR and on carrying out studies to propose the elevation of the ambition of the country's mitigation contributions.
- The country's BTR reporting capabilities are strengthened by building capacity to use GACMO as a projections tool.
- Technical proposal made to increase the ambition in mitigation contributions for the next NDC update in the sectors of RE, transport, forests and swine, including the use of TRACE to evaluate environmental co-benefits in the transport sector and the establishment of a target for the residential sub-sector.
- Proposal for the establishment of a legal framework for data collection.
- Scoping report to identify the most appropriate digital platform for data and information management for Cuba.

Overview
Develop a new baseline and mitigation system for the energy sector in the context of the new NDC; design a monitoring and reporting framework for the energy sector in the context of the new NDC and taking into account the international requirements in terms of reporting.
- Develop a new baseline and mitigation scenario for the energy sector in the context of its new NDC taking into account the new mitigation actions identified.
- Design a monitoring and reporting framework (institutional aspects and/or monitoring indicators) for the energy sector in the context of the new NDC and taking into account international requirements in terms of reporting (NC, BUR, BR, Inventories).
- Recálculo de emisiones evitadas de la contribución de mitigación contenida en el NDC:
- Informes sobre los estudios diagnósticos realizados
- Metodologías y procedimientos para la recopilación y gestión de datos para el seguimiento de la contribución de mitigación y su integración en la estructura de MRV existente en el país:
- Contribución de mitigación del sector de energía: Incremento hasta un 24% de la generación de electricidad en base a fuentes renovables de energía en la matriz eléctrica de Cuba para el año 2030
- Contribución de mitigación del sector de transporte: Transporte terrestre menos intenso en carbono
- Contribución de mitigación: Incremento de la eficiencia y ahorro energético en Cuba para el año 2030
- Hojas de ruta para facilitar el intercambio de datos que dan seguimiento a:
- Recálculo de emisiones evitadas de la contribución de mitigación contenida en el NDC:
- Material para la capacitación de actores nacionales y sectoriales para dar seguimiento a las Contribuciones Nacionalmente Determinadas:
- Synthesis report: Outcomes, lessons learned, and future work
