Training on Greenhouse Gas Reporting for Belize’s Transport Sector

The Ministry of Sustainable Development and Climate Change, through the National Climate Change Office (NCCO), hosted a three-day training on greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting for the transport sector in Belize from August 6th to 8th, 2024. 

Supported by the Initiatives for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) and National Communication Biennial Transparency Report (NC/BTR) projects, the training aimed to enhance skills in monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of GHG emissions. 

With the transport sector contributing 40% of Belize’s GHG emissions, the training was critical for effective emission management. Participants were provided with technical knowledge on the reporting process and necessary data collection to meet obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement. 

This training comes as Belize prepares its first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) to the UNFCCC.
