The Quick-Start Guide outlines the key steps that countries can go through to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs); see the Introduction section of the guide for more information. This Reference Manual looks at each of the five NDC implementation modules – governance, mitigation, adaptation, finance and measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) – in more detail, and sets out the specific activities in each area for planning the implementation of an NDC. It is important to note that following the Reference Manual does not automatically result in the production of an implementation plan; rather, by working through the different modules, users can build up a picture of the detailed activities needed to implement their NDC.
The resource provides further guidance on Stage 3: Financing Strategy, Component 3: Identifying finance partners and setting up a detailed financing plan of the Climate Investment Planning and Mobilization Framework (CIPMF).
