The Dominican Republic put climate change at the heart of its development agenda, recognizing it in the country’s Constitution. To bring its NDC to reality, the Government launched their Partnership Plan for NDC implementation in May 2019. Due to the Dominican Republic's high vulnerability to climate change-related impacts, its Partnership Plan looks to develop a package of legal and planning instruments to implement its NDC in the land use, waste, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and forestry sectors. Strong emphasis has been placed on kick-starting demonstrative adaptation and mitigation initiatives on the ground with approaches to improve coordination and learning among all relevant state and non-state actors. Key outputs of the Partnership Plan include gradual renewal of the public transport fleet, improved control of transport emissions, increased share of renewables in the country’s energy matrix, reduced deforestation, and supporting sustainable business in the tourism and industrial sectors.
