Analysis of Original NDC

Timeframe

Between 2016 to 2030

Relevant context

The Union of the Comoros is in a reconstruction phase and reform as a least developed nation. Many efforts have been made during the last 20 years in the field of sustainable development and more particularly that of adaptation but these efforts are scattered and few measurable results.

Process for developing NDC

To develop a robust INDC, Comores used a bottom-up approach and national contribution was favored. Mitigation measures have been developed in line with other existing policies and strategies of the Government of the Union Comoros and national sectors. A detailed description of the assumptions and projections used to project emissions and removals for each following the prioritized option. Work and National reports from other countries of the region and the Indian Ocean Islands and databases Cities have also been used to fill in missing data or for the needs of confirmation.

In order to respond to the country’s goals for adaptation and mitigation, Comores states that in the past, limited financial resources were used by the state in response to situations of emergency rather than prevention, baseline data is lacking, and the results investigation show that civil society was not adequately sensitized and prepared for natural disaster response.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism

Plans to achieve the goals of the INDC include the creation of The National Council for Sustainable Development (CNDD) in 2013 to lead the program in collaboration with the ministries. The document suggests monitoring the INDC can be done through the GHG inventories of National Communications Biennial Reports and Reports to be submitted to the UNFCCC.

Regarding measures particularly adaptation, monitoring could be done through sectoral working groups and Planning Committees of Development and Monitoring and Evaluation (COPSED).
