NDC Act & Invest

The project provides technical assistance to countries for the planning and implementation of their third generation of the National Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) process. This will be done through three different workstreams. At the international and regional level, scientific research, assessments and reports the project produces reports to assist countries to raise their climate ambition with evidenced-based information and guidance. To support planning and target setting at national and sub-national levels, the project develops and pilot a methodology/framework to integrate NDC process with other development planning instruments (e.g. in biodiversity, energy, adaptation). To ensure NDC 3.0 targets can be financed and therefore achieved, the project also provides in-depth assessment of the financial needs and gaps, sectoral assessment and pathways as well as tailored assistance in the development of investment plans, project pipelines as well as needed capacity building.

State of implementation/results

  • Workstream 1: Preparations for the 2025 edition of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report (EGR) are proceeding according to plan. The report will be launched on 4 November and the EGR team is working on finalizing all materials. This year, the main focus of the report is on the new NDCs and an assessment of their implications for projected emissions, the emissions gap and global warming estimates.
  • Workstream 2: The project is prioritizing practical tools and pilots. Drawing lessons from country experiences such as Colombia’s coordinated NDC-LTS approach and Costa Rica’s vertical integration mechanisms, UNEP will pilot the new methodologies in selected partner countries to validate their applicability. These pilots will test alignment between mitigation and adaptation strategies, integration with national budgets, and mechanisms for engaging the private sector, areas flagged as underdeveloped in the mapping.
  • Workstream 3: Exchanges have started with the political partners in Costa Rica, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Thailand and Türkiye to identify suitable areas where NDC Act & Invest can offer support. In addition, the project offers its expertise to Requests for Support (RfS) under the NDC Partnership from Costa Rica, Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, Senegal and Tanzania.
