This research paper uses a Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) model to quantify the greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from two proposed Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in Colombia's energy system.

This policy brief discusses the role of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in translating Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) into bankable low-carbon investments by leveraging public support to mobilize private sector capital.

This working paper by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) examines the challenges and opportunities in financing Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in developing countries. It identifies a significant gap between the demand for NAMA financing and the available supply of dedicated funds, while highlighting barriers such as narrow donor focus, lack of financial planning expertise, and misalignment with multilateral development banks. The paper suggests that integrating NAMA pipelines with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a critical path forward for scaling up mitigation finance.

This policy brief by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) details a screening exercise to identify Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) concepts for Bangladesh. Using a standardized 'quick screen' methodology, the authors reviewed government planning documents to identify 18 NAMA concepts across six UNFCCC sectors that align with national development goals and offer sustainable development co-benefits.

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).

This working paper by the World Resources Institute addresses the 'MRV' (measurement, reporting, and verification) challenge within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations. It outlines key questions regarding the verification of supported actions, the governance of an international registry for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), and the role of national climate action plans to ensure country accountability for greenhouse gas emission mitigation and support obligations.
