closed

The main objective of the Project Specific Grant (PSG) is to support the reduction of carbon emissions and build resilience in the natural resources sector in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and its associated value chain through: (i) the generation of new knowledge and empirical findings on the types of conditions and factors that are most likely to facilitate emissions reductions through enhanced industry procurement practices; (ii) providing recommendations and guidance to industry (public and private sectors) on the implementation of procurement policies and innovative practices that can support reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and (iii) pilot the implementation of a "Carbon Calculator" tool for industry and government that will demonstrate feasibility and impact of improved procurement practices in the natural resources sector.
