This assessment takes into account the adaptation capacity and resilience of different institutions and key sectors to climate change and how climate change and other risks are reflected in the socio-economic and environmental dimensions at national, regional, and local level. Indicators of vulnerability to climate change can be aggregated by weighting to obtain Climate Vulnerability Index. The authors propose a new algorithm for calculating the Climate Vulnerability Index for the Republic of Moldova administrative-territorial units as a composite index that includes three pillars: exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Each of the pillars includes a set of sub-indices, which in turn contain of several indicators.

It identifies the regions and Administrative-Territorial Units (ATUs) that are experiencing particularly severe climate change impacts, risks and vulnerabilities. The principal sources of uncertainty for the climate change indicators and modelling results are discussed and, where appropriate, reflected in the assessments.
The climate change indicators included in this report cover observed and future time periods, and information is presented at different levels of aggregation: national, regional (Northern, Central and Southern AEZs), ATUs and districts. This study also compiles information from a wide variety of recent data and information sources. It builds on, among others, on the recommendations of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6), and a substantial amount of new information that became available due to this report has also been included.

As compared to the Second Biennial Update Report (BUR2) of the Republic of Moldova to the UNFCCC (2019), BUR3 presents an updated review of the state of the art in the Republic of Moldova for the main issues regulated by the Convention. These relate to assessment of the trend of greenhouse gas emissions at national and sectoral level, presentation of climate change mitigation measures undertaken at national level, support and capacity needs for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at national and sectoral level on a larger scale.

The National Inventory Report reflects the efforts made by the National Inventory Team in 2020 year. In addition to the GHG emissions inventory results in the Republic of Moldova, the Report also contains relevant information such as the analysis of recent trends in GHG emissions and sinks, the analysis of key categories, additional sectoral data utilized in emission inventory, data regarding the activities related to inventory quality control and uncertainty management.

The Report provides complete documentation of every major component related to the inventory management process in the Republic of Moldova on anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by sources and removals by sinks, which are not regulated by the Montreal Protocol.
The six predefined templates for the development of the National Inventory System are as follows:
1. Institutional Arrangements for the National Inventory System (lA).
2. Methods and Data Documentation (MDD).
3. Description of Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/ QC).

It identifies regions that are experiencing particularly severe climate change impacts. The principal sources of uncertainty for the indicators and modelling results are discussed and, where appropriate, reflected in the assessments. The indicators included in this study are based on many different information sources. As a result, they cover different past and future time periods, and information is presented at different levels of regional aggregation. This report compiles information from a wide variety of data and information sources. It builds on, among others, on the recommendations of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, but a substantial amount of information that became available afterwards has also been included.While this study is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of all aspects of climate change impact on the RM’s economy it does reflect the breadth and depth of researches that had been done in the RM to date, and it provides a link between a global phenomenon and the sectors development issues facing the country. The researches and analysis in this study indicates that, while climate change is likely to pose serious threats to development in the RM, it also has the potential to bring opportunities.
