Enhancing NDCs: A Guide to Strengthening National Climate Plans

The document describes a guide published by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to assist practitioners in structuring and strengthening their countries' enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

• The guide focuses on three primary dimensions for structuring enhanced NDCs: strengthening emission reduction targets (mitigation), improving climate resilience (adaptation), and communicating actions to build trust and support implementation.
• The guidance provides a step-by-step process for identifying options to enhance NDCs, utilizing examples and lessons from countries already implementing these steps to reduce emissions and advance adaptation.
• The document addresses the integration of climate action with Sustainable Development Goals, the alignment of finance with NDC objectives, and the requirement for transparent communication in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
