Preparation of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) as a Catalyst for National Climate Change Mitigation Action

The preparation of intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) has acted as a catalyst for national climate change mitigation action and policy making. Evidence from surveys and interviews indicates that the international process has driven significant developments in national capacity and potential mitigation actions for the period before 2020 for most countries, independent of the specific ambition levels proposed for post-2020 actions.

• The process of preparing INDCs has advanced national policy making and enhanced national climate change mitigation capacity and action beyond the specific requirements of the INDC preparation itself.
• For most countries, the INDC preparation process has increased the capacity and potential for mitigation actions to be taken before 2020, regardless of the ambition levels set for post-2020 targets.
