Partnership for Market Readiness - Costa Rica Program
Costa Rica ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994 and has since developed and implemented national climate policies in accordance with its principles, primarily through the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) and its institutional structures. Early actions, together with the establishment of climate-specific policies, earned Costa Rica a place in the Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR), a multi-donor trust fund within the World Bank that supports participating countries to prepare and implement climate change mitigation policies including carbon pricing instruments in order to scale up greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. This document presents an overview of the program of technical activities implemented with grant resources and explains its relevance and integration into Costa Rica’s broader policy agenda. This document presents first an overview of the program and its alignment with Costa Rica’s ambitions and positions with regards to climate action. The document closes with insights and lessons from implementing the program.

Summary: | Costa Rica ratified the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994 and
has since developed and implemented national climate
policies in accordance with its principles, primarily
through the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) and
its institutional structures. Early actions, together with
the establishment of climate-specific policies, earned Costa
Rica a place in the Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR),
a multi-donor trust fund within the World Bank that supports
participating countries to prepare and implement climate
change mitigation policies including carbon pricing
instruments in order to scale up greenhouse gas (GHG)
mitigation. This document presents an overview of the
program of technical activities implemented with grant
resources and explains its relevance and integration into
Costa Rica’s broader policy agenda. This document presents
first an overview of the program and its alignment with
Costa Rica’s ambitions and positions with regards to climate
