National Climate Infrastructure Development
We support developing nations and emerging markets in building national climate registries, implementing NDC pathways, strengthening transparency frameworks and enabling international cooperation under Article 6.
Delivering a Nationally Determined Contribution takes more than ambition. It requires institutions, data systems and rules that can measure progress, track carbon market activity and report with confidence. We work alongside governments to build that foundation, so countries can manage their climate commitments, attract high integrity finance and take part in international carbon markets on their own terms.
Our approach is practical and country-led. We adapt to each nation’s priorities, legal context and existing capacity, and we focus on systems that governments can own, operate and sustain over the long term.
What We Support
National Climate Registries
We design and implement national registries that record projects, issuances, transfers, authorisations and retirements. These give governments a single, trusted view of carbon market activity within their borders and help prevent double counting.
NDC Implementation Pathways
We help translate NDC targets into actionable pathways, identifying priority sectors, mitigation opportunities and the policies, projects and financing needed to deliver them. We also support tracking of progress against targets.
Transparency Frameworks
We strengthen national systems for measuring, reporting and verifying emissions and mitigation outcomes, supporting alignment with the Paris Agreement’s enhanced transparency framework. This includes data collection arrangements, institutional roles and reporting processes.
Article 6 Cooperation
We help countries prepare to engage in international cooperation under Article 6, including establishing authorisation procedures, tracking transfers of mitigation outcomes, applying corresponding adjustments and developing bilateral agreements.
How We Work With Governments
Assessment
We review the country’s climate commitments, institutions, regulations, data systems and market readiness.
Capacity building
We train government staff and national stakeholders so systems can be run and maintained locally.
Strategy and design
Together with national teams, we define priorities, governance arrangements and a roadmap for the infrastructure required.
Market enablement
We help connect national systems to high integrity project pipelines, ratings and international buyers.
Build and deployment
We develop and implement registries, MRV systems, data platforms and supporting procedures.
Ongoing support
We provide continued technical assistance as requirements, rules and market opportunities evolve.
An Integrated Approach
National climate infrastructure works best when its components connect. Our work draws on the rest of the Synsta offering:
- Carbon registry infrastructure for issuance, transfer, retirement and Article 6 tracking
- Monitoring, reporting and verification frameworks for sector-specific data
- High Integrity Carbon Credit Rating to give governments and buyers confidence in project quality
Benefits for Countries
- Sovereign control: governments retain oversight of carbon market activity and national data
- Credibility: transparent systems that meet international expectations
- Access to finance: a trusted framework that attracts climate investment and high-integrity buyers
- Compliance: clear processes for reporting under the Paris Agreement
- Lasting capability: skills and systems that remain in country
Frequently Asked Questions
MRV stands for monitoring, reporting and verification. It is the process of measuring a project’s emission reductions or removals, reporting them transparently, and having them independently checked.
Credits can only be issued and trusted if the underlying results are measured accurately and verified by an independent party. Weak MRV is one of the main sources of integrity risk.
We design MRV frameworks and prepare projects for verification. Verification is carried out by independent accredited bodies, which keeps the process impartial.
Yes. Frameworks are built around the standard or methodology your project uses, whether international, national or voluntary.
Where appropriate, we combine field measurement with remote sensing, sensors and digital data systems to improve accuracy and reduce costs.
MRV data can feed into carbon registry infrastructure for issuance and tracking, and inform the High Integrity Carbon Credit Rating.
