establish measures
to consolidate a
low-emission
transport. The
Electrification of
Transportation is
one of the main
actions to reduce
emissions in this

Overview of the Costa Rica NDC Pathways Project
The Energy Balance is tailored to the national circumstances, thereby
depicting the country’s energy system and resulting TIMES model.
• Costa Rica has been working on improving GHG
emissions MRV and projection capacities
• We recognize the importance of
solid projections for long-term
planning and for decarbonization
pathways.
• We will be launching our LTS, we
are investing in models TIMES,
OSMOSIS, LEAP, etc. We want to
identify cost effective technologies
for this transition.

11.  In order to properly report the technological needs, the way in which they are assessed
must be changed first. They must be conducted in a continuous basis and must be
consistent with the new long-term goals.
 Using climate policy and NDCs as a basis for identifying technology support needs is
desirable. It is precisely to do so in manner consistent with achieving the Paris goals that
the LT-LERDS of 4.19 should be developed with a strong technology focus.
 Also, classification and terminology for technological adoption should evolve over time
through a participatory process which converges on an accepted conceptual framework to
discuss the topic.
 It is worthwhile to reduce ambiguity (words with more than one meaning)
and redundancy (more than one word for a given meaning) within the terminology) .
