Analysis of Original NDC

Timeframe 

2011-2025 (BAU scenario)

Relevant context 

Ecuador is a developing nation incorporating the values of sustainably developing, balancing nature and human development. Energy, water and forestry are the main sectors targeted in the NDC.

Process for developing NDC 

As precursors to the NDC, Ecuador had already created the National Plan of Good Living (Plan Nacional para el Buen Vivir) 2013-2017 that contextualizes climate change as a multi-sectorial problem at the national level that needs to be addressed through programmatic measures that generate results at the mid and short-term; The National Climate Change Strategy 2012-2025 that was formulated under a logic of adaptation and mitigation results; and, The National Climate Change Plan 2015-2018.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

Ecuador does not yet have an MRV system for adaptation related issues, but in 2013, the first manual with monitoring indicators was published, Climate Change Adaptation Capacity Building en Ecuador (to evaluate adaptation projects).

Other concepts mentioned 
Human right to water
Summary of gender reference 

None. However, the National Plan of Good Living mentions: To manage water heritage sustainably and ensure the human right to water and to implement climate change mitigation and adaptation measures to reduce economic and environmental vulnerability with emphasis on priority groups.
