NDC Partnership
The NDC Partnership is a global initiative to help countries achieve their national climate commitments and ensure financial and technical assistance is delivered as efficiently as possible.
The Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development set a global course for tackling climate change. Nations’ commitments to help achieve the Paris Agreement are detailed in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which lay out their plans to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and build resilience to climate impacts. However, current NDCs are not ambitious enough to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals, threatening ecosystems, economies and communities — especially those already most vulnerable.
The NDC Partnership advances the goals of the Paris Agreement by bringing countries and institutions together in new ways to accelerate NDC implementation and enhance ambition over time. Through a country-led approach, we drive climate action and sustainable development while supporting countries in reducing social and economic inequalities.
The NDC Partnership mobilizes more than 100 implementing partners to work with more than 70 developing countries. Our diverse membership requires a wide variety of support, which we provide through various programs and initiatives. For example, under its first work program, the Partnership coordinated nearly $1 billion in support to developing countries so they could integrate their climate and development agendas.
Through these efforts, the NDC Partnership gives nations the resources they need to effectively enhance their NDCs.
WRI hosts the NDC Partnership's Support Unit jointly with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat and United Nations of Project Services (UNOPS). Learn more on the NDC Partnership website.
