Lista de información para INDCs

The document outlines a comprehensive list of information elements for Parties to include in their INDCs, focusing on quantifiable data regarding baselines, timeframes, scope, planning processes, and methodological assumptions. It specifically details requirements for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, the use of international market mechanisms, and the treatment of the land sector. Additionally, it suggests indicators for demonstrating the fairness and ambition of contributions in relation to national circumstances and the goals of the Convention.

• The guidance for INDCs is based on two international GHG reporting and accounting standards developed by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: the Mitigation Goal Standard and the Policy and Action Standard.
• To ensure transparency, Parties are encouraged to provide specific quantifiable information across seven main categories: reference points (including base years), application timeframes, scope and coverage, planning processes, methodological assumptions, justifications for fairness and ambition, and other supplementary information.
• Regarding methodological assumptions, the document specifies that Parties should detail their approach to international market mechanisms, including whether they intend to trade units, any limits on the percentage of reductions achieved through such mechanisms, and how environmental integrity is ensured to avoid double counting.
• For the land sector, the guidance requires clarification on whether the sector is included in the broader goal, treated as a separate sectoral goal, or used to offset emissions, as well as the specific accounting method used (e.g., activity-based or land-based).
• Parties are encouraged to justify the ambition and fairness of their INDCs by comparing their contributions against indicators such as historical and projected emissions, GDP, per capita emissions, vulnerability to climate change, and mitigation potential (e.g., renewable energy potential).
