New NDCs to deliver climate ambition and action for growth

The initiative, carried out with support from the German Federal Foreign Office, has produced a report released in June 2025 entitled “Investing in Climate for Growth and Development: The Case for Enhanced NDCs”, which aims to help countries design and implement NDCs that attract investment and place people at the heart of climate action.
