[2] Decision 1/CP.21 ‘Adopting of the Paris Agreement’ The project implementation methodology will follow the logic of the Paris Agreement framework and relevant EU climate acquis, as well as their subsequent developments. The respective climate change EU acquis and climate provisions under the Energy Community treaty will be the integral part of the project logic and implementation methodology, the EU best practices will be shared. Relevant technical guidance on various elements of climate policy development will be used through the capacity building and training activities. The Paris Agreement on Climate Change was adopted at the UNFCCC Conference of Parties in December 2015 and officially entered into force on 4 November 2016. The Paris Agreement was the first ever universal, legally binding climate deal that set out a plan to put the world on track to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to “well below 2°C”. Together with Agenda 2030 and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Paris Agreement provides an unprecedented opportunity to create an integrated development approach towards inclusive resilient economies with a zero-carbon footprint by 2100. Scope of work
The main objective of the assignment is to increase the national capacities to support the country to reduce fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) in relevant sectors, to contribute to the international efforts to mitigate climate, and to contribute to transposing into the national legislation the Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases, by taking into account as well the relevant provisions contained in Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 F-gas Regulation with the EU Regulation (EU) No 517/2014. The specific focus of this assignment is to contribute to the development of the MRV system for ODS and F-gases: to serve as system for collecting data from companies that import, export, use, dispose, recover and recycle freons and refrigerant equipment, inclusively for being used for inventory purposes, with reference to Article 6 ‘Reporting’ of the Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases, correspondingly to Article 19 ‘Reporting on production, import, export, feedstock use and destruction of the substances listed in Annexes I or II’ and Article 20 ‘Collecting emissions data’ of the Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases. Specifically, there is a stringent need to develop a F-gases National Registry (to cover both, HCFCs & HFCs), in extent possible, similar to the EU F-gases Portal[1]. In close cooperation with the EU4Climate National Coordinator and with the staff of National Ozone Unit (NOU) and of the ‘Air and Climate Change’ Section of the Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environmental, the international consultant will provide assistance:
