Overview:
In order to improve the existing databases and to carry out the research of mezo-scale and micro-scale climate systems, the number of measure points for hydro-meteorological parameters need to be increased. Modernization of the hydro-meteorological network for information exchange archives and publication is needed, as well as establishment and renewal of observations that are not yet in function. It is necessary to carry out permanent activities for systematic observation and monitoring of GHG emissions and their reductions. For this purpose a capacity building is projected within the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, through opening a permanent office within the Ministry in order to coordinate and initiate activities at national level.

Background and rationale:
The Republic of Macedonia ratified the UNFCCC on December 04, 1997. As Party to the Convention, the country has committed to produce the First National Communication. It allowed development of expertise in each sector involved in the preparation. It is prepared following the guidelines adopted by CoP for preparation of national communications by Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention.
