Andorra is the first country to pass a UN climate change review

The BTR is the document that contains information on greenhouse gas emissions, targets for reducing these emissions, measures and policies taken by the country to combat climate change and historical carbon dioxide emissions. This transparency mechanism, emerging from the Paris Agreement, stipulates the obligation of all signatory countries to submit a report every two years clarifying commitments and progress achieved. It is necessary to submit this first report to the United Nations at the end of this year, and Andorra submitted it more than a year ago, last October.

Fournet said that although the country is responsible for emitting very few greenhouse gases as a percentage, he wants to be a benchmark in presenting transparency mechanisms: “Andorra receives the effects of climate change in the same way as the rest of the countries. Of countries, and because it is a mountainous region “They are more vulnerable.” Regarding the analysis of the document, Lopez said, on behalf of the rest of the experts and also of the Secretariat, that the report was complete and transparent, and referring to the targets set by Andorra, he also noted that they were ambitious taking into account that it was a small country and therefore with less capacity to reduce emissions. .
