  • Support the definition and framework of NDC implementation, including NDC roadmaps, cost-benefit analysis and stakeholder engagement activities.
  • Strengthen countries’ transparency and their ability to measure, report and verify emissions, and to monitor and evaluate adaptation actions in the AFOLU sector in accordance with the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).
  • Support the development of specific mitigation and adaptation strategies to be included in the new round of NDCs.

Impact As NDCs reflect country-specific ambitions for domestic emission reductions and priorities to adapt to the impacts of climate change, this project responds directly to countries’ priorities as identified by the Governments. The project considers different stages of the NDC process (development, implementation, progress tracking and revision), as well as national circumstances and capabilities, and is being implemented at country level through FAO decentralized offices and in close collaboration with government counterparts and other partners. The geographical coverage of the action spans four global regions and 21 countries, with a particular focus on vulnerable countries, such as landlocked and least developed  countries, small island developing states and others included in FAOs  Hand in Hand Initiative
