NDC Partnership Signals United Front for Accelerated Climate Action at COP30 

The NDC Partnership issued a declaration at the COP30 reaffirming its commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement.  

22 Nov. 2025, Belém, Brazil — Today at COP30, the NDC Partnership, a coalition of more than 250 countries and institutions, issued a declaration calling for accelerated climate action in order to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.  

This declaration comes at a pivotal moment and sends a signal to the entire climate community: Action is needed now. Escalating climate impacts and a constrained global financial landscape pose challenges to sustaining progress — let alone scaling solutions — to protect lives, strengthen economies and secure social and economic gains worldwide.  

Through this declaration, “NDC Action Now — A Call to Action in a Defining Moment,” the NDC Partnership is reaffirming that a diverse coalition of actors intends to accelerate global climate action, ensuring countries have the support they need to cut greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience.  

Marina Silva, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change of Brazil and NDC Partnership Co-Chair: “At this defining moment, we choose collective action. This declaration signals our determination to act in solidarity, mobilizing the political will to secure a more resilient, sustainable, and prosperous future. The NDC Partnership is committed to delivering climate action that protects lives and livelihoods while strengthening every sector of national economies.”  

Lars Aagaard, Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities of the Kingdom of Denmark and NDC Partnership Co-Chair: "It’s time to act. Global cooperation is needed to meet the 1.5-degree target. We must raise global ambition, accelerate implementation and improve financial flows. With this declaration, we are committed to put goals into action and will work hard to ensure that the goals of Paris are fully delivered.”
