This Guidance recommends that all parties' NDC 3.0:
• Include non-CO₂ mitigation goals and measures as part of the economy-wide target in all relevant sectors;
• Integrate air quality planning and implementation to increase climate and health benefits;
• Leverage related and complementary agreements, strategies, and initiatives to optimize resources, institutional support and implementation;
• Ensure a comprehensive assessment and reporting approach in line with the Enhanced Transparency Framework to drive finance, resources, and information into NDC development and implementation.
The CCAC Guidance provides practical and strategic recommendations for experts and teams involved in preparing NDC 3.0 on how to set goals and identify specific measures suitable to the national context.
The Guidance focuses on a set of priority pollutants in five distinct chapters. The first chapter anchors the recommendations within the mandate of the Paris Agreement, providing a roadmap for how to identify, assess, confirm, and gain support for addressing the non-CO₂ goals and measures.
