The RE-CONNECT project is dedicated to assisting the 196 Parties committed to the 2015 Paris Agreement, established under the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, in meeting their climate change obligations. RE-CONNECT aims to bolster the capacity of these developing countries to undertake robust greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions modelling and monitoring activities.
Operating until early 2028, RE-CONNECT brings together international experts and participants from diverse countries to:
- Enhance the monitoring, reporting, verification, and utilisation of GHG emissions data.
- Strengthen the capacity of Paris Agreement signatories to collect and report robust GHG emissions data and associated policies.
- Sustainably improve mitigation modelling capabilities in target countries and foster their utilisation by policymakers.
- Promote transparency in processes and reporting, fostering trust and collaboration among participating countries while accumulating robust GHG emission datasets.
To deliver these objectives the project is delivering a comprehensive package of capacity building activities including:
- Training workshops
- Expert matching
- Supporting attendance of modelling meetings
- Organisation of bilateral events
- Facilitating information sharing and outreach
Ricardo plc is leading the consortium that is delivering this project, which also include a number of leading international institutions in GHG emissions modelling and transparency issues. The partners are:
