INTRODUCTION

Based in Seoul, The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as “green growth”, which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies that can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and private sector to help build economies that grow strongly and are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.

GGGI has a diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the world. These in-country programs, together with global products and services, focus on delivering results through an integrated approach of evidence-based green growth planning and implementation aligned to countries’ development priorities.

CONTEXT

In its NDC 2020 (NDC-RD 2020), the Dominican Republic increased its climate ambition by committing to a 27% reduction of GHG emissions with respect to BAU or business as usual by 2030. This with a target of 20 % conditional on external finance and 7 % unconditional, the latter being distributed in 5 % corresponding to the private sector and 2 % to the public sector. Forty-six mitigation options and 37 adaptation measures were presented, distributed in the sectors of Energy (focused on electricity generation, energy efficiency and road transportation), Industrial Product and Process Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU), waste, water security, food security, health, resilient cities (infrastructure, human settlements), coastal-marine resources, tourism, and ecosystems, biodiversity, and forests. It also reflects targets in terms of means of implementation, ACE, cross-cutting elements and strengthening climate governance for the successful implementation of the NDC-DR 2020.

As reflected in the NDC-DR 2020 and preliminary results of the NDC Action Plan 2022-2025; gaps and needs for technical, human, and institutional capacities have been identified at both local and national levels, to achieve the successful implementation of its climate commitment, including:

1. Strengthening government institutional capacity to implementation the 2006 IPCC Guidelines in a homogeneous way for all sectors, according to the information of the updated GWP ARs and to perform the calculations with the most updated system in the IPCC Inventory Software;

2. Incorporate climate considerations into national planning and budgeting, in areas such as greenhouse gas emissions accounting, research and systematic observation, data collection, risk modeling and vulnerability assessments;

3. Building human and institutional capacities for the development of project proposals for the different sources of climate funds;

4. Limited human resources in key institutions, in addition to stringent guidelines and requirements, delay the implementation of concrete mitigation and adaptation actions;

5. Need for capacity building for the private sector and civil society for their role in the implementation of the improved and updated NDC;

6. The development of the Enhanced National Climate Transparency Framework, which encompasses and enables all mitigation and adaptation measures implemented in the country, making their results and effectiveness transparent.
