Support for preparing Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs)
We assisted the governments of a number of vulnerable countries in their domestic preparation for the formulation of their intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs), in the context of the 2015 climate agreement. Based on their request we support these countries with their project conceptualisation and development, specific scientific and technical analysis, organisation and facilitation of the dialogue processes through expert support and facilitation of national consultations.

Three takeaways from the INDC processes in vulnerable countries, 10 May 2016
Between December 2014 and February 2016 our experts supported a number of countries in formulating their climate plans ahead of the COP21 summit in Paris. They share three key lessons, which are highly relevant for implementing the Paris Agreement in some of the most vulnerable countries and communities around the world.
