NDC Partnership

#NDCs are among the most powerful tools to turn climate ambition into actions that drive development. The NDC Partnership has supported 100+ countries with their third-round #NDCs, helping ensure they have what they need to cut #GHG emissions, build resilience and deliver a prosperous future. #NDCActionNow #NDCPartnership #ClimateAction #COP30

Strong climate governance is essential to NDC implementation. Across countries, climate councils and coordination mechanisms are helping make that happen: ✅ Strengthening accountability through targeted, evidence-based advice ✅ Connecting ministries, partners and society to deliver coordinated action ✅ Embedding whole-of-society approaches to improve decision-making ✅ Supporting policy choices that align climate and economic priorities Insights from a joint webinar by ICCN and the NDC Partnership Support Unit highlight what works in practice ➡️ bit.ly/4sjvPUB #ClimateGovernance #NDCs #ClimateAction bit.ly/4sjvPUB

What does it take to move from NDC planning to financing at scale? Recent convenings in Rwanda and Mauritius brought together over 150 practitioners to tackle this challenge. Through peer-to-peer exchange, the 7th East Africa Climate Finance Directors’ Level Meeting and 1st Regional Forum for Practitioners in #SIDS created space for countries to learn directly from one another. Despite differences in geography and national contexts, participants across both convenings identified that: ✅ Countries are shifting from fragmented, project-by-project approaches to programmatic, long-term strategies. ✅ Strengthening coordination, especially between finance and environment ministries, is critical to integrate climate into public finance. ✅ Data‑driven project prioritization strengthens countries’ ability to attract financing. ✅ Mobilizing private finance requires governments to make a strong economic case for climate action and create clear entry points for private investment. ✅ Climate finance units and other institutional mechanisms strengthen coordination. The Center for Access to Climate Finance, hosted by the NDC Partnership Support Unit, helped organize both convenings, working closely with governments and partners: 🌍 EACFDLM: Governments of Rwanda and Uganda, @FCDOGovUK, @gggi_hq. 🌴 SIDS: @giz_gmbh , @commonwealthsec, @UNFCCC Regional Collaboration Centres, World Bank, @UNDP, @UNEP, @CA_Latest and others.

🌍 Climate change and conflict are deeply interconnected. Countries in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS) are increasingly seeking support to strengthen climate action aligned with their NDCs and deliver development gains for the communities most at risk. A new NDC Partnership insight brief analyzing 2,000+ requests from 24 countries in #FCAS highlights that: ✅ 24 FCAS countries account for nearly a third (29%) of all support requests — a clear signal of demand ✅ Requests span regions, with strong engagement across Sub-Saharan Africa, alongside the Middle East, North Africa and the Pacific ✅ Countries are prioritizing whole-of-government approaches, integrating mitigation and adaptation across sectors ✅ Countries in FCAS more frequently request support to strengthen whole-of-government capacity, reflecting limited institutional capacity. ✅ Climate finance remains a critical gap — nearly all countries requested support, yet these requests have some of the lowest support rates Explore the insights and what they mean for strengthening support through the NDC Partnership: Read more ➡️ bit.ly/4rJh0dP #ClimateAction #ClimateFinance #FCAS

🇨🇬 Republic of Congo launches process to develop its NDC 3.0 investment plan Having just submitted its NDC 3.0, the Republic of the Congo launched a process to prepare its NDC 3.0 investment plan at a national workshop in #Brazzaville. The plan will guide priority actions and investments that support the country’s updated climate goals. Hosted by Arlette Soudan-Nonault, Minister of Environment, Sustainable Development and the Congo Basin, the workshop brought together national stakeholders and partners to: ✅ Align national priorities with investment needs. ✅ Strengthen inclusive, data‑driven planning. ✅ Advance climate resilience and sustainable development while mobilizing climate finance. This marks an important step toward coordinated efforts to build an investment pipeline and connect national development strategies with climate ambition. Through the NDC Partnership, the Central African Forest Initiative (CAFI) is providing financial support investment plan preparation. 🎥 Watch the highlights ➡️ bit.ly/4kMBb8N #Congo #ClimateAction #NDCs #ClimateFinance bit.ly/4kMBb8N

🇨🇬 The Republic of the Congo has submitted its NDC 3.0. The country remains a net carbon sink and aims to strengthen this contribution by 2035. Compared to BAU, under the unconditional pathway, net removals improve by 7.8% in 2030 and 22% in 2035. With additional conditional measures, improvements rise to 20.4% in 2030 and 47.8% in 2035. Mitigation priorities include: ⚡ Clean energy expansion and efficiency across power, industry and transport 🌲 Forest conservation, reforestation and sustainable land use (AFOLU) 🏭 Lower emission industrial processes and product use (IPPU) 🗑️ Improved waste management, methane reduction and resource recovery Adaptation priorities include: 💧 Water resource management 🌾 Climate resilient agriculture and food security 🏘️ Resilient infrastructure and human settlements 🏥 Health systems 🏖️ Coastal zone protection 🦎 Biodiversity and ecosystem resilience 🌋 Disaster risk reduction 🌿 Forestry, ecosystem services and tourism The NDC 3.0 process was led by the Ministry of Environment, Sustainable Development and the Congo Basin (MEDDBC) and supported by the Central African Forest Initiative (CAFI), @UNOPS and @FAO through the NDC Partnership. #Congo #ClimateAction #NDCs #Forests #EnergyTransition

🌍 Climate solutions are strongest when they work for everyone. In many communities, the daily task of providing essentials like water, food and household energy is primarily undertaken by women. As climate pressures disrupt supplies, these responsibilities become more demanding — requiring longer journeys, greater physical effort and more time away from other activities. Last week in Bishkek, 🇰🇬 #Kyrgyzstan, national ministries, local governments, financial institutions and sectoral leaders came together for a five-day training series to strengthen gender-responsive approaches across climate and development planning. From health and tourism to climate finance, waste management and local governance, participants worked through practical tools and real-world scenarios to design climate actions that are more inclusive and gender responsive. This workshop supports broader national efforts to NDC 3.0, helping ensure that national climate priorities translate into development strategies that deliver for all communities. Hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision (MNRETS) with support from @UNITAR and the NDC Partnership Support Unit, the event was funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada. Aizada Bariyeva, Head of the Chief Department of Ecological and Climate Policy at MNRETS, delivered opening remarks and a presentation on national climate policy. 📸 Photos courtesy of @UNITAR #NDCs #GenderResponsive #ClimateAction #InclusiveClimate #WomenInClimate #ClimateEquity
