Costa Rica’s comprehensive NDC outlines transformational actions to promote resilient and low-carbon cities, climate-smart rural territories, and integral and adaptive water and territorial management for water security. With support from the NDC Partnership, Costa Rica is developing an NDC Investment Plan for the 28 actions prioritized in its NDC while upholding its long-term Decarbonization Policy. The Plan includes the electrification of public and private transport, development of a 100 percent renewable energy matrix, a 60 percent increase in forest cover, installation of sanitary and storm sewer systems covering 90 percent of the population, consolidation of carbon price systems consistent with country-specific targets, and a deployment of Payment for Ecosystem Services and compensation mechanisms.
