The Ecuadorian government has introduced the National Climate Change Registry (RNCC), a new platform designed to improve transparency and data reliability for climate action in the country. The registry was launched by the Ministry of Environment and Energy on December 17, 2025.
As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Ecuador has committed to addressing climate change with clear accountability and concrete measures. The RNCC is hosted within the Unified Environmental Information System (SUIA) and aims to enhance territorial planning, adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as compliance with international commitments.
Alicia Jaramillo, Vice Minister of Environment and Coastal Marine Affairs, stated: “There are no fair decisions without reliable information, nor effective climate policies without accountability.”
The registry is intended not only as a technical tool but also as a resource for local governments, academic researchers, productive sectors, and civil society seeking transparent information about climate challenges. Its development involved three years of coordinated work among various stakeholders and established a network of 84 information providers that directly benefit more than 1,000 people.
Regionally, the RNCC stands out by including greenhouse gas emissions measurement alongside adaptation processes, mitigation efforts, climate finance tracking, and international reporting. These components are supported by Ministerial Agreement 051 and agreed-upon technical methodologies.
Training programs focused on climate transparency with a gender perspective have been implemented to ensure ongoing system sustainability and capacity building nationwide.
The project was made possible through collaboration with organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Fundación Futuro Latinoamericano (FFLA), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The total investment from these partners and the Ecuadorian state amounts to nearly $2 million dedicated to managing transparent climate data.
According to officials, this initiative marks significant progress in Ecuador’s approach to climate management under President Daniel Noboa’s administration.
