Advancing from Mitigation Ambition to Action (A2A) - Phase II

Following the Paris Agreement, the challenge for many countries was to translate their mitigation ambition into effective domestic action. At the country level, the project offered analytical support to governments to accelerate the continued development and implementation of their NDCs, with a focus on sector level action plans, primarily through the articulation of the social, economic and environmental benefits of mitigation. The project developed analysis and targeted inputs that supported sector-level planning, engaged a range of stakeholders, and increased the feasibility of ambitious sector mitigation pathways in support of NDC implementation. Beyond country support, the project provided a platform for international dialogue and knowledge exchange on the state of play of NDC implementation as well as on key topics and issues related to increasing NDC ambition and accelerating implementation.
