The objective of the project is to provide participating countries targeted financial and technical support to prepare new or updated TNAs,  including Technology Action Plans (TAPs), for prioritized technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support adaptation and/or enhanced resilience to climate change impacts, and are consistent with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs)  and national sustainable development objectives. At the country level, the process leads to the development of: (i) a list of identified, characterized and prioritized technologies, (ii) identified barriers to implementation and how to overcome them, and (iii) technology action plans (TAPs) and concept notes for implementation of these technologies at the national level.

Enhanced institutional capacity and knowledge management to mainstream climate resilience into sectoral water management planning. 

Climate change has the potential to cause water shortages in Bahrain - due to reduced aquifer recharge by decreasing rainfall and saltwater intrusion into aquifers. Water demand and consumption patterns are only partially understood for the domestic sector, and less understood for other sectors, including agriculture and industry.

This project will help Bahrain’s Water Resources Council establish and operate a knowledge platform on climate-resilient integrated water resources management framework across different sectors. The project will also initiate an awareness campaign highlighting the benefits of wastewater re-use, and produce guidelines for rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling.

To support thirty nine (39) Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) prepare and submit good quality initial biennial update reports to the UNFCCC that comply with the convention's reporting obligation

The project will provide financial and technical support for the preparation of National Communications (NCs) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 12 non-Annex I Parties that have completed preparation of their current national communications. The proposed project will seek to strengthen the information base and institutional capacity of the national institutions involved in the development of national communications in order to integrate climate change priorities into development strategies and relevant sector programs. The project will ensure that countries not covered under the current National Communications umbrella project under GEF-4 , and which seek support from UNEP will have expedited access to financial resources for their National Communications.  It will also ensure continuity in the strengthening of national capacities and institutional mechanisms for the preparation of  National Communications by building on previous achievements and addressing gaps.
