NDC Partnership Launches New Five-Year Roadmap for Collective Climate Action
17 Nov. 2025, Belém, Brazil – The NDC Partnership launched a new five-year roadmap to accelerate climate action and raise the ambition of countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
Building on nearly a decade of NDC support, the 2026–2030 Work Program — endorsed by more than 250 countries and institutions at COP30 — sets a clear path for collectively advancing climate and development progress worldwide.
The next five years are pivotal. The first Global Stocktake (GST) revealed significant gaps in national climate commitments, action and support — also underscoring the urgency and possibility to correct course. As countries prepare to implement their third-generation NDCs, this period is critical to keeping the 1.5-degree C temperature goal within reach while rapidly adapting to escalating climate impacts.
The new work program sets out how the NDC Partnership will support countries in designing, implementing and financing NDCs that unlock economy-wide transformation. It underscores that the collective impact of the NDC Partnership surpasses what any member could achieve alone — and is far greater than what members can accomplish working in parallel.
“This new work program reinforces the power of collective action,” says Pablo Vieira, Global Director of the NDC Partnership. “By working together, our members can unlock finance, build national capacity and scale climate solutions that transform economies and communities. It charts a clear path to link climate and development, ensuring countries’ NDCs lead to actions that improve lives and livelihoods worldwide.”
Achieving economic and social gains through climate action requires bold, coordinated efforts to scale mitigation and adaptation with greater resources and collaboration. The work program unites countries and partners to drive that effort.
