Objectives

The main objectives of the FIRM project are:

  • Contributing to develop the conceptual basis and practical understanding of low carbon development as well as analytical and methodological approaches to NAMA development and MRV systems
  • Linking the outcomes of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) exercise and other work on identification of mitigation options with national low carbon development planning processes to identify priority NAMAs
  • Supporting formulation of NAMAs in identified priority areas and in that context pilot identified activities for overcoming of non-financial barriers that hinder NAMAs implementation in developing countries
  • Enhancing efficient use of resources, including energy, creating enabling environments for uptake of clean technologies, and improving human well-being and the environment
  • Fostering South-South cooperation and mutual learning




Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation

The Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) project, funded by the Danish International Development Agency, DANIDA, works to strengthen national capacities to formulate low carbon development strategies and identify mitigation opportunities within the context of national sustainable development priorities and the evolving concept of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs).
