Integrated governance, finance and transparency for delivering climate goals

The Global NDC Conference 2017 report outlines the necessity of integrated governance, diverse financing strategies, and robust transparency frameworks to implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Key findings emphasize the need for high-level leadership to break down sectoral silos, the translation of NDCs into bankable project pipelines to attract private investment, and the use of the Enhanced Transparency Framework to build trust and track progress toward the Paris Agreement goals.

• Effective NDC implementation requires a reconfiguration of governance systems toward an inclusive, integrated approach. This necessitates high-level leadership to drive multi-sectoral and multi-level processes, as well as strong stakeholder management to lead society-wide transformation. Integrated governance serves as the essential foundation for transparency, climate finance, and the overall architecture of NDC implementation.
• Long-term strategies (LTSs) are critical for guiding near-term NDC actions and avoiding lock-in to ineffective strategies. Because there is no universal method for LTS, approaches must be customized to national circumstances and framed within broader development priorities. The focus should be on creating lasting national capabilities and processes rather than just the analytical methods themselves.
