The EU-UNDP Low Emission Capacity Building Programme is a collaborative initiative funded by the European Commission and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. It aims to strengthen the institutional and technical capacities of developing countries to transition toward low-emission, climate-resilient pathways by supporting the development of GHG inventories, Low-Emission Development Strategies (LEDS), and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs).

• The EU-UNDP Low Emission Capacity Building Programme focuses on five primary objectives to enhance national capacities: developing greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory systems, formulating Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), preparing Low-Emission Development Strategies (LEDS), facilitating mitigation action plans for specific industries, and designing measuring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems.
• The Programme provides targeted support for high-emission industries in specific countries, including Argentina, China, Egypt, and Mexico, focusing on sectors such as fertilizers, petrochemicals, iron and steel, and cement.
• In Egypt, the industrial sector's GHG emissions increased by 275 percent over 1990 levels, contributing 14 percent of total emissions in 2000. The iron and steel and cement industries combined account for more than two-thirds (68 percent) of the industrial sector's total emissions.
• The UNDP Global Support Unit provides four types of assistance to national projects: disseminating tools and training for NAMA, LEDS, and MRV; providing targeted technical support to national teams; identifying innovative policy and financing options; and sharing knowledge and lessons learned.
• The Programme identifies several implementation challenges in participating countries, including changes in government leading to shifting priorities, inadequate inter-ministerial coordination, a lack of technical and institutional climate change capacity beyond the Ministry of Environment, and insufficient data quality for decision making.
