After 5 years of implementation, the NAMA Support Project Low-Carbon Coffee in Costa Rica presents results, impacts and lessons learned.
Costa Rica has the ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2021. Therefore, it has established a number of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) to support the country´s efforts in tackling climate change and finding its own path toward low-carbon development. Since the production of coffee is an integral part of the history and identity of Costa Rica and contributes 9 % of the national GHG emissions, a NAMA for the sector was developed.
