The conference
The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are the basis for countries to achieve their climate goals and contribute to the Paris Agreement objectives. As the implementation of current climate pledges becomes increasingly important, coordination among the international climate community is, therefore, vital to keep ambition high and underline collective progress.
Throughout the years, the Global NDC Conference has become an international forum to discuss NDCs. It presents a space for strengthening networks, showcasing innovative ideas, building momentum, reflecting, and clarifying the NDC formulation and implementation processes that lead to ambitious climate policy and action. Our last three editions (in 2017, 2019 and 2023) have gathered more than 900 participants from 80+ countries.
In 2023, the Global NDC Conference (31 May-2 June 2023) aimed to inspire climate practitioners and policy makers to lead and contribute to processes and coordination that enable just, feasible and financeable NDCs, grounded in learning from implementation and previous updates. As we approach 2025, the role of NDCs in the global climate agenda is more critical than ever.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce that the 2025 edition of the Global NDC Conference has been confirmed for June 2025! More details will follow soon. Learn more about the Global NDC Conference’s previous editions.
