Development of a web-based platform for monitoring the implementation of NDC

The UNEP DTU Partnership is providing technical support to Mauritius for the development of a web-based platform for monitoring the implementation of climate change mitigation actions included in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement, henceforth the Mauritius NDC Registry Platform. The NDC Registry Platform’s objective is to aggregate information about the climate policies and projects that Mauritius is implementing in its NDC and facilitate the collection of the necessary data for tracking the progress in the achievement of the NDC.

Opportunity

Mauritius has at the moment no institutionalized procedures and centralized system to report and monitor the implementation of climate actions. The development of a Climate Change Portal is envisioned in order to become the central repository and reporting system for national information relevant for climate change, including for GHG inventory, the NDC, national communications and biennial transparency reports, climate change impacts and adaptation, support needed and received and relevant climate change data. As a first step to develop such portal Mauritius seeks to establish an NDC registry aimed at monitoring and reporting the implementation and achievement of the NDC, i.e. mitigation policies and measures, actions and plans, including those with mitigation co-benefits resulting from adaptation actions and economic diversification plans, related to implementing and achieving the NDC.

Proposals that expand on or describe how the NDC Registry will facilitate the inclusion on other modules / functions of the platform that allow the monitoring, reporting and visualization of climate data in Mauritius, submitted reports to the UNFCCC, climate relevant policies, GHG inventory, adaptation, technical and financial and support needed and received will be assessed positively.

Vision Statement

The NDC Registry needs to become the centralized platform through which relevant institutions report on the progress of their mitigation policies and measures, actions and plans, including those with mitigation co-benefits resulting from adaptation actions and economic diversification plans, related to implementing and achieving the NDC. The information reported will assist the country to track progress made in implementing and achieving its NDC, and report this information to the UNFCCC through biennial transparency reports. In addition, the NDC Registry will provide the general public with selected relevant information on the targets and progress towards the achievement of the NDC.
