In this sense, low carbon urban development for El Salvador would not only slow down GHG emissions but would also improve the economic competitiveness of urban areas and reduce the incidence of diseases associated with pollution and heat island phenomena in the cities, improving the quality of life and urban comfort. As an extension of the guidelines established in the PQD, the National Climate Change Plan establishes as one of its priority axes climate-resilient and low-carbon coastal and urban development, including in its implementation the development of National Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs, for its acronym in English).
