From NDCs to Pathways and Policies: Transformative Climate Action After Paris

Completed     Global
01 Sep 2018 to 31 Dec 2022

Description

The Parties to the Paris Agreement are committed to submitting more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) every five years from 2020 onwards to limit global warming to as little as 1.5°C. The project aimed to support the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in major emerging economies and on an international level. To achieve this, the project provided advice on the development of priority policies and low-emission strategies that are compatible with the national development goals of the partner countries. In line with this objective, the project supported the preparation of new NDCs by identifying national potentials and conditions for increased ambitions. Additionally, the project facilitated progress in the climate-friendly transformation of sectors, financial flows, technologies, etc. The results of the project analyses were integrated into UNFCCC processes and contributed to creating international momentum for increasing the ambition of NDCs and for submitting long-term strategies.
