Date:
Dec 06 - 08, 2016
Venue:
Real Intercontinental Hotel, San José
| Day 1: December 6, 2016 | ||
| I. Introductory session | ||
The Technical Workshop “Paving the Way for NDC Implementation: Analyzing Policy Options and Modeling Carbon Pricing”, organized by the PMR Secretariat in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Energy of Costa Rica, brought together policy makers and technical practitioners who are involved in the analytics underlying NDC implementation planning efforts in their respective countries, and international experts working on this topic. The objectives of the workshop were to: • Identify critical gaps and common challenges with respect to analytical/modeling tools and technical readiness at the country- and international levels, taking into account relevant Paris Agreement milestones; • Share NDC-relevant analytical approaches and modeling tools based on experiences gained under the PMR and through the international research and policy-making communities; • Provide hands-on and interactive training on such analytical approaches and modeling tools; and • Further build a network of colleagues, peers, and experts and provide a forum for sharing experiences and perspectives on planning for NDC implementation. . |
