| Summary: | Climate change and its impacts are
accelerating, making it more urgent than ever to transition
to low-carbon and resilient economies, as envisioned in the
Paris Agreement. Achieving this will require meeting the
commitments made by countries in their Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs), significantly increasing ambition as
governments update their NDCs in 2020-2021 and beyond. One
of the many ways in which the World Bank Group (WBG) is
supporting climate action in its client countries is through
the NDC Support Facility (NDC-SF). Launched in 2016, the
NDC-SF works with developing countries that are members of
the NDC Partnership, a global coalition of countries and
institutions working to reduce emissions and build
resilience by channeling financial and technical resources
and promoting cross-sectoral collaboration and the
engagement of diverse stakeholders. This paper provides an
overview of the NDC-SF’s work over the past three years,
identifies key impacts and lessons learned, and describes
its way forward. |
