Enhancing Transparency in Guyana’s IPPU and Waste Sector by Establishing a National MRV System

The document outlines a 24-month readiness project implemented by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) to operationalize a national MRV system in Guyana. It focuses on filling data gaps in the Waste and IPPU sectors, strengthening institutional arrangements, and building technical capacity for government and private sector stakeholders. The project aims to align Guyana's reporting with IPCC and Paris Agreement standards, develop a pipeline of bankable mitigation projects, and implement a system for tracking internal and external climate finance flows.

• Guyana currently lacks a fully operational national MRV system for most sectors; while systems for REDD+, Agriculture, and Energy were developed, only the REDD+ MRVS is currently operational.
• The Waste and Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) sectors are significantly underrepresented in Guyana's climate monitoring, with minimal data available to track emissions and mitigation actions.
• Guyana faces critical barriers to climate transparency, including a lack of formal institutional arrangements, high staff turnover leading to loss of institutional knowledge, and a reluctance among private sector entities to share data due to a lack of protocols.
• The project will develop an Integrated Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (IMRV) system that unifies Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHG-I) MRV, mitigation actions MRV, and support MRV (climate finance tracking) into a single decentralized but centrally managed framework.
• A key objective is to create a climate finance tracking system to monitor internal and external financial flows, addressing a current gap where limited information is available within the government, NGOs, and international organizations.
• The proposal includes a target to train 90 relevant stakeholders, with a specific goal of ensuring 50% women's participation in all capacity-building activities to support Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI).
• The project aims to address the lack of bankable mitigation projects in sectors other than energy by developing a project pipeline and conducting at least one pre-feasibility study for the Waste and IPPU sectors.
• The project will implement a public-facing interactive online portal for the National MRV, allowing researchers and the public to explore real-time and historical data on emissions, removals, and financial flows, while maintaining a secure government-controlled backend.
