Relevant Context
Uruguay is a relatively small country with a territory and economy highly vulnerable to climate change. Uruguay’s emissions profile is strongly marked by carbon dioxide emissions related to the energy sector, including transportation, and methane emissions related to the agriculture sector, in particular beef production.
Process for Developing NDC
For Uruguay, the NDC serves as an implementation instrument of the National Climate Change Policy. This first NDC was developed under the National Climate Change and Variability Response System (SNRCC) and took into consideration inputs from public consultation that happened between 24 August and 24 September 2017. The SNRCC comprised the Coordination Group and Advisory Commission, which include various line ministries and national institutions as well as academia, civil society and the private sector. This first NDC was developed in accordance with Uruguay’s national laws, including laws on citizen participation, and international commitments (e.g., 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development).
Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism
By 2020, a monitoring and evaluation system for adaptation measures will be developed for the ‘coastal zone.’ ‘Coastal zone’ is one of the 11 main sector priorities identified by Uruguay for measures for adaptation. For the other 10 main priorities, there is no mention of any monitoring and evaluation system or a comprehensive MRV system. For mitigation measures, there is no specific mention of any mechanism for monitoring and evaluation. However, the NDC did provide information such as methodology for estimating emissions and removals, definition of target year and data sources, and definition of values and base year to facilitate monitoring, reporting and verification of Uruguay’s NDC mitigation targets.
Summary of Gender Reference
There is only one reference to ‘gender’. Gender is mentioned in ‘plans and measures for adaptation,’ that by 2025 Uruguay will have geo-referenced information on social vulnerability associated with adverse climate events, incorporating human rights and a gender approach.
