Target countries: ENPI South (10 countries and territories)
Regional context:
‐ highly vulnerable to CC
‐ limited Globally Proportionate/per Capita fast growing GHG emissions,ted G oba y opo t o ate/pe Cap ta ast g o g G G e ss o s,
‐ limited capacity to monitor GHG emissions and to develop CC‐related policies
‐ 9 target countries are CP to UNFCCC (Palestine = observer)‐ 9 target countries are CP to UNFCCC (Palestine = observer)
‐ non‐Annex I countries → no GHG reduction commitment

12. The assessment tool
In each country analysis of the situation described in
climate change relevant documentation and the resultsclimate change relevant documentation and the results
obtained during interviews and discussions using a set
of questionnaires prepared on mitigation, adaptation
and communication related issues. (All countries
visited by the key experts during the inception phase)
A qualitative assessment is carried out by assigning a
level to each analysis element state as follow: [1] Very
