Implementing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In this interview, Cassie Flynn explains how we can translate high-level climate targets into actual action on the ground. According to her, the key is to embed NDCs into national development planning.

She discusses the "Climate Promise," which supports 85% of developing country NDCs, and the vital partnership with the International Climate Initiative (IKI). Highlighting a practical example from Vietnam, Cassie explores how research into decommissioning coal-fired power plants can serve as a blueprint for the "G35" nations and the rest of the world.
