Aether in Antigua

04 December 2018

Aether are proud to be working with Antigua and Barbuda on a transparent and ambitious climate change mitigation chapter for its first Biennial Update Report (BUR).  The chapter will provide an overview of Antigua and Barbuda’s mitigation actions, describe a pathway for achieving emission reductions and other non-GHG benefits, and outline how progress is being monitored so that others can learn from Antigua and Barbuda’s example.

The capacity building, methodologies and tools provided as part of the support offered will ensure that Antigua and Barbuda are well placed to not only produce their first BUR, but are also well equipped to produce ambitious reports on climate change mitigation for future international reporting requirements and continued national decision making.
