Global NDC Conference

In 2023, the Global NDC Conference aimed to inspire practitioners and policy makers to lead and contribute to processes and coordination that enable just, feasible and financeable NDCs and NDC implementation, grounded in learning from implementation and previous updates.

More than 330 participants, all experts in NDC coordination and implementation, coming from over 50 countries, and from different backgrounds, gathered to discuss and share about their experience in aligning policies, mobilising finance, and raising ambition. Therefore, we hope to have provided a platform for:

strengthening the network of practitioners and policymakers around NDCs;
showcasing innovative ideas, approaches, positive examples, lessons learned and good practices;
building momentum for ambitious, timely and scaled-up NDC implementation;
reflecting on and strengthening participants’ capacity and agency to lead NDC processes in their context; and
creating clarity around NDC update processes, next steps, and roles of different actors.

The Global NDC Conference 2023 was a joint effort hosted by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and co-organised with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the NDC Partnership, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), under the International Climate Initiative (IKI).
