Deadline: 30-Jun-22
The Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is offering grants to support Panama’s Ministry of Environment in developing and endorsing a short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) and methane roadmap with the aim of strengthening Panama’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and air quality plans.
Funding Information
Estimated project cost: US$ 150,000 – 175,000
Outcomes
- Panama’s government has increased capacity to:
- Assess and model their SLCP emissions, to prioritize and implement mitigation measures, and to track progress.
- Coordinate SLCP planning
- Panama’s government endorses the methane roadmap.
Required Outputs
The project should deliver at a minimum:
- An SLCP roadmap that includes an emissions inventory , emissions projections, and mitigation assessments to strengthen consideration of SLCPs, especially black carbon, in Panama’s NDC and air quality plans.
- A methane roadmap that follows a methodology agreed with the CCAC Secretariat. The work to be delivered should build on the SLCP roadmap.
- A capacity building workshop to present results of the project, validate the roadmap, and to train relevant stakeholders on monitoring black carbon emissions.
- Applicants are encouraged to propose additional outputs as needed to ensure the expected project outcomes are achieved.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for consideration, project proposals must meet the following requirements:
- Are complete and submitted before the deadline
- Are submitted by a non-governmental organization (NGO), intergovernmental organization (IGO), or other not-for-profit entity
- Requested funding falls within the indicated cost range and the project duration is less than 24 months
- Budget criteria are met and spending caps on expenses are respected
Methane roadmap
- Should be in line with a modality agreed with the CCAC Secretariat. At minimum, a “methane roadmap” must:
- Identify methane mitigation pathways.
- Assess the cost of implementation.
- Assess the institutional arrangements for implementation.
- Develop a monitoring and evaluation framework for the methane mitigation pathways.
- It may also include:
- Improvements to the national methane inventory
