The report evaluates the evolution of NDCs for a diverse set of countries, scoring them on needs scope, granularity, timeframe, conditionality, implementation readiness, private sector mobilization, and alignment with national plans. It highlights varying levels of progress, with some countries like Nepal and Moldova showing strong improvements in costing and private sector strategies, while others like Andorra and Singapore maintain gaps in quantified financial needs.

• Nepal has demonstrated strong progress in its NDC 3.0, providing full costing for both mitigation and adaptation needs, with mitigation targets estimated at USD 73.74 billion and adaptation priorities between USD 18 to 20 billion through 2035.
• Moldova's NDC 3.0 identifies a significant investment requirement of approximately €40 billion from 2025 to 2030 to meet short-term decarbonization targets, with cumulative costs until 2050 estimated at €140 billion.
• Botswana's NDC 2.0 shows a marked improvement in financial transparency, costing both mitigation (USD 3.7 billion) and adaptation (USD 2.5 billion) needs, totaling a budget of US$6.2 billion.
• Several countries, including Andorra, Maldives, Marshall Islands, and Singapore, have NDCs that lack costed financial needs for their climate objectives.
• Brazil's NDC 2.0 introduces a comprehensive private sector strategy, including the 2024 Eco Invest Brasil Program designed to attract long-term foreign private investment and reduce capital costs.
• Zimbabwe's NDC 3.0 quantifies a total investment cost of approximately US$ 19 billion for mitigation and USD 10.31 billion for adaptation actions between 2023 and 2030.
• The Maldives has explicitly stated its domestic contribution to climate finance, allocating 44.07% of expenses from scarce domestic resources despite its high vulnerability.
• Kenya's NDC 2.0 maintains a high level of conditionality, with 81% of both mitigation and adaptation costs subject to international support.
• The United Arab Emirates has utilized the ALTÉRRA vehicle, launched at COP28, committing USD 30 billion to catalyze a USD 250 billion target by 2030 for private investment in climate action.
• Uruguay's NDC 3.0 shows strong alignment with national strategies, including the National Circular Economy Strategy and the National Sustainable Bioeconomy Strategy, though it lacks detailed finance mobilization plans.
