Webinar on support ecosystem for next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for the Sub-Saharan Africa region
BackgroundThis is a critical time as the next round of NDCs is due in 2025, requiring new and more ambitious NDCs from countries. The Global Stocktake (GST) outcome agreed upon at COP28 underlined that despite overall progress on mitigation, adaptation and means of implementation and support, Parties are not yet collectively on track towards achieving the purpose of the Paris Agreement and its long-term goals, and encouraged Parties to come forward with ambitious, economy-wide emission reduction targets, covering all greenhouse gases, sectors and categories and aligned with the 1.5°C limit in their next round of NDCs. The latest science from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by 60% by 2035, compared to 2019 levels and that adaptation and mitigation must be pursued with equal force and urgency to advance sustainable development for all. The GST invited organizations in a position to do so and the secretariat, including through its regional collaboration centres (RCCs), to provide capacity-building support for the preparation and communication of the next NDCs. Webinar ObjectivesA number of development and implementation partners are providing support to countries in the region on various aspects of NDC preparation and implementation, such as data and analysis, policy and planning, finance and investment, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement. In this context, there is a need to provide information to countries on the support available for the preparation of their next round of NDCs. The UNFCCC RCC WACA, UNFCCC RCC EASA, and the NDC Partnership are therefore organizing this webinar to provide a platform for countries to hear from support providers on the avenues of support available for the development of 2025 NDCs and to connect with them to access support as and when required.
