Under the Paris Agreement’s enhanced transparency framework, countries need credible systems in place to account for and report on progress towards meeting their national climate commitments, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

WRI's Tracking and Strengthening Climate Action (TASCA) initiative helped governments monitor the implementation and impact of their NDCs and the underlying policies that support them. It also supported countries in identifying opportunities to further curb emissions, enabling them to take on more ambitious climate commitments over time.

The TASCA project worked in five countries to strengthen systems and track progress toward tackling climate change: Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia and South Africa.  Find out more about our work in each country by hovering over the map below.

The initiative’s activities in each country were determined through in-country scoping and were designed to meet countries’ specific needs and priorities. Activities were undertaken in collaboration with the responsible ministries and government bodies, technical experts, and representatives from civil society and the private sector.

Countries that participated in the project strengthened their systems to track NDC implementation and impacts, better enabling them to report their results to domestic and international constituencies and to prepare future NDCs. In addition, lessons learned through the project were shared globally with other countries to inform the advancement and implementation of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) processes under the Paris Agreement.
