ACTIVITY INFORMATION
What we are doing

Effectively implementing the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) necessitates the strengthening of multilevel governance, as one key element for success. The preamble of the Paris Agreement recognises the engagement of all levels of government in addressing climate change, as pivotal to holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius (°C) above pre-industrial levels and to increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience. The enormity of this challenge can only be met if national, regional and local governments achieve policy alignment in addressing climate change and sustainable development, also enabling implementation of local action. ICLEI represents small to large, and often fast growing cities, as well as vast metropolitan areas, capitals, provinces and regions. Uniting cities and regions for the commitment on our shared journey towards a sustainable world, ICLEI offers a unique value proposition to the members of the NDC Partnership (NDCP).

What we are achieving

Building upon ICLEI´s commitment to engage in the NDC Partnership and as the first associate member, ICLEI created a modular approach to addresses the vertical integration of NDC implementation and investment plans, outlining the contribution of local and regional governments in the NDCs. ICLEI’s participation is structured in four parts: coordinating a multilevel action working group (MAWG); knowledge products and tools; country engagement for developing Partnership Plans (PPs), working with countries wanting to join the NDCP; and project management and coordination with a range of partners.
