As part of the "Climate Promise/UNDP" program funded by the Belgian Government, the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency - Global Support Program (CBIT-GSP) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the Ministry of the Environment organized a 5-day training seminar (online and face-to-face) on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventories for more than thirty consultants and experts from sectoral Ministries and Universities who support the Ministry in carrying out studies relating to the national greenhouse gas inventory,

Led by two international experts Moussa DIOP, French-speaking Climate Transparency Network Manager from Senegal and Sidaty Ould DAH from Mauritania.

Ms. Gerty Pierre, Director of the Department of Climate Change of the Ministry, said that building the capacity of national experts and executives to conduct reliable GHG inventories is to provide Haiti with essential instruments to assess its efforts in the fight against climate change and its progress towards achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

Ms. Pierre deemed it necessary to organize this training, in accordance with her international commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNCCC), in particular the strengthening of the transparency of actions aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In conclusion, the realization of this training on the inventory of GHGs, allows Haiti, a country whose greenhouse gas emissions are very low or even insignificant, to take an important step in its efforts in the fight against climate change and especially its positioning as a country that suffers the consequences of climate change.
