Uruguay will introduce a class of financial

State Actors, to achieve our shared climate
change objectives

system
Pave way for KPI standardization in order to

across participants of task force will be

ΞΑ
Financing mechanism that is
incentive-compatible
Uruguay seeks to explicitly link its cost of
capital to the achievement of the country's
forward-looking environmental targets under
the Paris Agreement
The proposed two-way pricing structure will
penalize Uruguay if it does not deliver on its
NDC goals (SPT 1.1 & SPT 2.1) and will reward
the country if it over performs on its ambitious
NDC targets (SPT 1.2 & SPT 2.2).
Reporting
Uruguay will be the only non-Annex I
country to start reporting GHG emissions
on annual frequency and with a shorter
time lag, on par with industrialized
countries
Uruguay's efforts to shorten data "lags" and
external verification period for GHG
emissions to approximately 17 months
External Verification
United Nations Development
Program ("UNDP") will provide
accelerated independent external
review of both KPIs throughout the
