Summary

To respond to the need for dialogue and partnership-building, the Global NDC Conference brings together policymakers, climate experts, practitioners, researchers, and innovators from around the world involved in the development and implementation of NDCs. The last three editions (in 2017, 2019 and 2023) gathered more than 900 participants from 80+ countries.

Details

The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are the basis for countries to achieve their climate goals and contribute to the Paris Agreement objectives. The Global Stocktake, on the other hand, found that countries now have the critical opportunity to raise their ambition in the next round of NDCs. As the implementation of current and upcoming climate pledges becomes increasingly important, coordination among the international climate community is vital to keep ambition high and underline collective progress.

The conference offers a dynamic, safe space for exchange, knowledge sharing and learning, as well as collaborative problem-solving. Embracing the values of openness, diversity, and inclusion, participants engage in interactive sessions and networking opportunities that spark new ideas and foster collaboration, aimed at elevating ambition and scaling up climate action.
