Parliamentarians have been overlooked for too long and are vital to the NDC 3.0 design and implementation process. This was the key message from the one-day GLOBE Roundtable on Parliamentary Engagement in the NDCs, held in Berlin on 10 June 2025.

Over 300 practitioners and policymakers from more than 50 countries came together in Berlin at the Global NDC Conference 2025, a forum for exchanging on policy innovations, highlighting real-world case studies, and building multi-stakeholder collaboration.

Day 3 of the conference turned to the practical side of NDC implementation. Participants left the conference carrying a toolkit of solutions and new ideas for engagement, clarity on next steps in the NDC process and an expanded network of motivated peers.

The second day of the Global NDC Conference focused on the role of finance as a crucial enabler for NDC implementation in the pursuit of global climate goals.

On Day 1, five parallel sessions opened the floor for discussing and exploring opportunities for a Just Transition in climate action and NDCs, decarbonising sectors, among other topics.

Ahead of the Bonn Climate Change Conference 2025, practitioners and policymakers from more than 50 countries have come together at the Global NDC Conference to accelerate NDC implementation, turn commitment into action, and shift into sprint mode for the next round of NDCs.

Indigenous Peoples are indispensable partners in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. Their practical solutions, grounded in centuries of ecological stewardship, combined with their moral leadership and deep spiritual connection to nature, provide a powerful foundation for transformative climate action.

In less than five days, the Global NDC Conference 2025 will open its doors in Berlin. This is more than a conference. It’s a space to move from ambition to implementation. We cannot wait to get started.

Throughout the conference, youth representatives will engage with national decision-makers and international experts. They will share their views on the NDC review and implementation processes, as well as on other key topics such as climate finance.

Climate conferences are crucial in shaping global climate policy, fostering collaboration, and driving ambition. As the urgency to address climate change intensifies, it’s imperative that these gatherings exemplify the very principles they advocate.

The Global NDC Conference 2025 (to be held 11-13 June 2025 in Berlin) comes at a critical moment for global climate action.

The 2023 edition Global NDC Conference (31 May-2 June, 2023 in Berlin) demonstrated the power of multi-stakeholder collaboration by engaging nearly 350 climate practitioners and policymakers, from over 50 countries, to co-create solutions around the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) processes.

The organisers of the Global NDC Conference 2023 were dedicated to providing an inclusive conference space in which everyone can participate regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical ability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion, or any other social category.

Under the topic of mobilising finance for NDC implementation, the second day of the Global NDC Conference 2023 started with the keynote speech of Robert Habeck, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of Germany.

As national climate pledges, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are the main frameworks guiding countries to make systems-level changes, across their economies to lower emissions and adapt to climate change.

The scale of action required to keep global warming below 1.5C and adapt to increasingly frequent climate impacts can seem insurmountable at times. Across the NDC Partnership and beyond, however, there are countless examples and experiences to share in effectively aligning policies, mobilizing finance and raising ambition.

The Mitigation Action Facility (MAF), an agile, grant-based multi-donor fund driving decarbonization, launched its Call for Projects 2023 during the third day of the Global NDC Conference 2023. The session combined high-level interventions and a fireside chat with representatives from Mitigation Action Facility donors and a partner country.
