This report by the Climate Policy Initiative provides comparative scorecards for several countries, evaluating the progress between their previous Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and their new versions (often NDC 2.0 or 3.0). The analysis focuses on key criteria: needs scope and granularity, timeframe, conditionality, implementation readiness, private sector mobilization strategies, and alignment with national and sectoral plans.

• Several countries have significantly improved their costing of climate needs. Botswana's NDC 2.0 now fully costs both mitigation and adaptation needs at an estimated US$6.2 billion, compared to its previous version which only costed mitigation needs.
• Nepal's NDC 3.0 demonstrates strong financial planning, estimating total quantified mitigation targets until 2035 at USD 73.74 billion and adaptation priorities between USD 18 to 20 billion.
• Moldova has established a strong strategy for private sector mobilization, identifying mechanisms such as guarantees, syndicated loans, and public-private partnerships to reduce risks for investors.
• Brazil's NDC 2.0 has enhanced its private sector mobilization through the 2024 creation of the Eco Invest Brasil Program, aimed at attracting long-term foreign private investment.
• Zimbabwe's NDC 3.0 quantifies total investment costs for mitigation at approximately US$ 19 billion and adaptation actions between 2023 and 2030 at USD 10.31 billion.
• The Maldives has explicitly quantified its domestic contribution to climate finance, stating it is compelled to fund 44.07% of climate finance expenses domestically.
• Uruguay's NDC 3.0 shows strong alignment with national strategies, including the National Circular Economy Strategy and the National Sustainable Bioeconomy Strategy.
• Kenya's NDC 2.0 provides a detailed split of conditional and unconditional finance, intending to bear 19% (USD 4.28 Billion) of mitigation costs from domestic resources, with 81% subject to international support.
• Zambia's total needs through 2030 remain estimated at USD $35 billion, with a specific recent requirement of US$941 Million to respond to drought emergence.
