Workshop on the Development and Finalization of Nationally Determined Contribution 3.0 of Zimbabwe
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, 9 December 2024 (ECA) - In the run-up to COP21, parties to the UNFCCC conceived Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) as a means for countries to communicate the steps they will take to address climate change. INDCs reflected the level of ambition by each country in reducing emissions, considering its national circumstances and capabilities.
The Paris Agreement implementation framework calls for countries to submit new, revised and enhanced NDCs starting in 2020, and every five years thereafter. In addition, the Agreement requires parties to participate in a global stocktaking of progress in the reduction of global CO2 emissions every five years, which has started in 2023.
Since 2019, ACPC in collaboration with regional institutions, the NDC hub and the NDC partnerships, has embarked on a structured process for assisting member states in revising their NDCs. The ongoing support has been demand led and includes revision and updating of the existing NDCs. Although the specific areas of support vary from country to country, the cross-cutting thread has been consultations among stakeholder groups such as climate sensitive sectors (agriculture, energy, water, transport), policy makers, academics, youth and women, and alignment of NDCs with national development plans.
