Dominican Republic approves National Climate Transparency System

Santo Domingo.- The Government of the Dominican Republic has approved its National Climate Transparency System, a new tool designed to improve the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation measures, and climate financing. The system was developed with support from the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation and forms part of the country’s Enhanced Transparency Framework under the Paris Agreement.

With this approval, the Dominican Republic becomes the fourth country in Latin America—alongside Costa Rica, Colombia, and Chile—to adopt a climate transparency system aimed at attracting and managing international climate investment more effectively. The platform also makes the Dominican Republic the first country in Latin America and the Caribbean to integrate a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) system for adaptation actions.

Max Puig said the platform will help the country identify financing needs, measure the impact of climate investments, and strengthen national climate governance. He noted that providing verified and transparent data will enhance the Dominican Republic’s ability to secure international funding for its green transition.
