The 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement: Voluntary contributions towards thematic policy coherence | SEI

The document analyzes 164 NDCs to explore global connections between the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda, while specifically examining target-level connections within six developing countries to suggest ways to improve thematic coherence and ambition in national strategies.

• The Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development represent a transition in international climate governance, moving from legally binding emissions targets restricted to developed nations to a system of voluntary commitments applicable to all countries.
• Analysis of 164 nationally determined contributions (NDCs) indicates that there are opportunities for synergy between the 2030 Agenda and the climate commitments made under the Paris Agreement.
• For developing countries that have not yet created a national sustainable development strategy (NSDS), there is an opportunity to align the drafting of these strategies with the updating of NDCs to increase their ambition and ensure thematic coherence.
