Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are national commitments that countries submit to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Updated NDCs are due no later than February 2025.
 
A key focus is making NDCs ‘investable’ to enable financing for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This requires clear investment plans as well as private and public finance to support Climate Action.
 
Panellists will outline key features of ‘investable’ NDCs and explore real-world cases of how governments disclose financing needs and climate-related spending, drawing on the Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks (ASCOR) project. This event will also reflect on lessons from the UK’s Green Gilt programme.
