Climate Negotiations & Actions

Climate Negotiations & Actions Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) represents a key pillar of the Paris Climate Agreement, international climate negotiations and post-2020 climate action commitments. In the NDC documents, Parties to the climate change convention (UNFCCC) have indicated mitigation and adaptation commitments to fight climate change. While developed countries are better placed in terms of

REDD+

REDD+ Deforestation and forest degradation are the second leading cause of global warming, responsible for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which makes the loss and depletion of forests a major issue for climate change. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries and the role of sustainable forest management, forest conservation

Climate Finance Certificate

Financing the transition to a climate-resilient and low-carbon development remains a major challenge for most developing countries. The purpose of this course is to provide participants with the tools, methods and approaches to access climate finance and invest in climate mitigation and adaptation actions. It will analyse the global climate finance landscape and present options and challenges for financing the nationally determined contributions (NDC) of developing countries and economies in transition. Under the Paris Climate Accord, climate finance is expected to significantly increase in the coming years. Most developed countries remain committed to mobilising USD 100 billion per year by 2020 to support developing countries. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is one of the primary recipients of this funding commitment.
