Background
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR LOW CARBON LIVESTOCK
LIVESTOCK NAMA
Economic Efficiency Mitigation and Adaptation
The current proposal for Costa Rica´s Livestock NAMA aims at generating 834 thousand tCO2eq of reduced emissions annually by 2021; and the full implementation of the NAMA could produce an estimated 13 million tCO2eq of reduced emissions by 2030.
Sustainable IntensificationCompliance with national targets for livestock productivityMeat: 189.6kg/Ha/yearMilk: 36.3Kg/Ha/Day
The livestock sector represents the 28.6% of total GHG emission's of the country
20.4% of the country land is under permanent pastures from which 53.3% are classified as improved pastures.
90 percent of farmers in the country are small scale producers.
18,6% of the country total forest area are located in cattle farms.

Barriers to mitigation
BARRIERS TO CHANGEBarrier Description
Barrier 1 Low administrative
and management capacity
of farmers
Currently most producer´s chamber do not have full capacity to take over the
NAMA implementation process. On stages 2 and 3 of the NAMA it is required
total participation and empowering from the private sector (Camaras). These
includes financial resources management, technical support and MRV.
Barrier 2 Low administrative
and management capacity
of producer organizations
Many universities and institutions in Costa Rica have technical knowledge that
is not getting to the producers and their organizations due to lack of
articulation between the Government, private sector and academia. In
addition, available technical services are not enough to overtake institutional
and technical knowledge limitations.
Barrier 3 Limited access to
credit/ financing by farmers
Credit supply does not respond to the needs and reality of the livestock sector.
Cultural barriers, previous experiences, and low knowledge of bank clerks to
work with smallholders also limit access to credit.
Barrier 4 Difficult access to
local institutional and
technical support services.
Producers need support to have a business vision needed to make the activity
more profitable. This is partially explained by low education levels and cultural
variables.
Barrier 5 Low capacity for
knowledge transfer
Limited extension services available and need of upgrading knowledge transfer
methods. This includes producer to producer knowledge sharing.

THE THEORY OF CHANGE
Dialogue Platform is a key element on NAMA implementation.
GOVERNANCE: PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLABORATION
IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM
By 2030 al least 70% of the herd and 60% of the area used for livestock production, thus achieving a potential mitigation target of 6 million tCO2e. Through adopted practices, a total of 4 Million tCO2e are expected to be off set.
A target of 600,000 Ha of restored landscapes for livestock production The reduction of the vulnerability of livestock producers to extreme climate events in a total of 7000 farms.
Increase in forest cover up to a total of 4% of national land.

Impact:
The second stage, approaches and tools developed during the first pilotphase will be scaled up through: increased participation of the privatesector, technical assistance from MAG and CORFOGA will evolve fromdirect technical interventions at the farm level, and will rely more oncoaching/mentoring of groups of livestock producers to help them adoptNAMA technologies.
Transformational outcome:Promotion of sustainable intensification practices with private sector participation
CONCLUSIONS
Innovative financial mechanisms:
The second stage will allow the use of specific financial mechanismsfor the livestock sector. It relates the technology, and forest cover in farms with access to a system Climate Finance with productiveapproach .
These mechanisms require external support in its validation phase and are an opportunity for the livestock world.
Contribution to INDC´s:As the second source of GHG emissions in the country and the largestland use sector, the livestock sector has a significant potential tocontribute to Costa Rica’s INDC, as it has established, since 2014, apublic policy aimed at achieving a low emissions pathway, thus givingthe process sustainability.
