Transformational change is needed to cut emissions and adapt to a changing climate, all while meeting development needs. Such change requires groundbreaking coordination to mobilize resources globally, with speed and scale. 0 CAEP was launched in 2019 to provide countries with rapid and dedicated support to enhance the quality, process and ambition of their NDCs in 2020. 0 Partners Through CAEP, 46 partners provided countries with technical and financial support, using a combination of their own resources and funding from the Technical Assistance Fund (TAF). 0 Countries Supported 16 % of global emissions 23 % of global population 0 Partners Engaged 40 Implementing Partners 6 governments providing funding through TAF 0 Activities Supported 79 % of all requests from two rounds of support and a call for supplemental requests USD 0 million Funds Mobilized USD 24.58 million+ from TAF USD 26.51 million+ from partner financing introduction The NDC Partnership’s Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) was launched in 2019 to help countries enhance their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and fast-track their implementation. Through CAEP, countries received a diverse range of support for their NDC enhancement. Partnership Model at Work The NDC Partnership deployed over $51 million in support of NDC update efforts of 67 developing countries. This was delivered through the technical and financial contributions of 46 implementing partners, illustrating the impact of the Partnership model. Tailored Country Support Drawing together partners with diverse skill sets and expertise to provide coordinated support has enabled countries to ramp up their ambition and implementation efforts. Assessment of Enhanced NDCs An assessment of 55 NDCs was carried out, which identified various characteristics of the support provided and it’s impact on ambition, quality, and process. CAEP Support Linkages Updates to NDCs were mapped against the CAEP support received by each country, highlighting where the specific objectives of CAEP activities were realized. Quality and process are the critical enabling components for ramping up ambition. NDC enhancement is measured across all three components. Quality Targets are credible, comprehensive, robust and implementable Ambition Emissions reductions are in alignment with Paris goals; spanning relevant sectors and gasses, and aligning with long term plans Process The NDC process is inclusive and transparent, building up national ownership global insights NDC enhancement is multifaceted, including ambition, quality and process. Enhancement is identified by comparing a country’s first or second NDC with its updated one. By comparing an NDC against its previous version, the analytical focus is relative rather than an absolute assessments of NDCs. This comparison illustrates the principle that NDCs are designed to serve specific country contexts and priorities and should be considered relative to their own previous iterations. Ambition Ambition refers to strengthening mitigation or adaptation targets and actions over time. Countries may raise ambition by strengthening emissions reduction (including the addition of sector-specific targets) or by broadening the scope to include wider coverage of sectors or gases. Countries may also raise ambition by moving from conditional to unconditional targets, shortening timelines, adding qualitative policies and measures, or setting out their long-term adaptation strategies. 0 Out of the 55 countries assessed, 55 countries raised their NDC ambition, 54 of which received CAEP support to do so. Learn more about ambition Quality Quality enhancement includes strengthening underlying data and ensuring NDCs are detailed, achievable and verifiable. Data gathering and robust methodologies support evidence-based NDC targets and detailed action plans, including sector-specific plans, costing, and financing. Clear governance structures and strategic alignment with national policy and Long Term Strategies (LTS), including additional information on capacity gaps and barriers to inform adaptation planning, and ensure the targets are achievable given countries’ resources. Including or strengthening mechanisms for monitoring and oversight is important for tracking progress and verifying the set targets. 0 CAEP supported all 55 countries with analytical and technical support, improving overall NDC quality. Learn more about quality Process Process captures enhancement in NDC transparency and inclusiveness of key stakeholders and vulnerable communities. These components strengthen the credibility of NDCs, ensuring inputs and targets reflect the needs and priorities of impacted communities. It includes designing strategies to mainstream climate change through education and awareness-raising campaigns. An inclusive process leads to greater involvement of all levels of government as well as the public, following a whole-of-society approach. 0 CAEP supported all 55 countries in enhancing their NDC process with support targeting inclusiveness, transparency and stakeholder engagement.

Through CAEP, 46 partners provided financial and technical support to countries. Support was provided through a combination of partners’ own resources and through the Technical Assistance Fund (TAF). USD 0 million The total financial support delivered to countries through CAEP amounts to over USD 51 million over a period of less than 12 months USD 0 million From partner financing, complemented by USD 24.58 million from TAF.
