Integrating Climate Action into National Development Planning – Coherent Implementation of the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030

To implement the 2030 agenda, 17 SGDs and Paris Agreement, the challenge is to implement these agreements in a coherent way at a national level. This tool has 5 chapters, the first maps out the linkages between the SDGs and NDCs, the second unpacks the process for updating and implementing NDCs with a 5 year NDC cycle and country experiences. Chapter 3 explores SDG implementation and extracts lesson learned from the Voluntary National Reviews. Chapter 4 focuses on alignment between the SDGs and NDCs at the national level and presents entry points and good practices for linking SDG and NDC implementation. Financing NDC and SDG implementation is the focus of Chapter 5.
