OVERALL THEME/BACKGROUND

In the wake of the Paris Agreement signing (2015), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) have been filed by some signatory countries as a first milestone in their commitment to carbon neutrality and resilience. Today, the countries committed to this approach must implement these objectives by adapting their low-carbon development strategies locally and by integrating the challenges of resilience to the effects of climate change.
