Supporting Countries to Act on Climate
December 1th, 2019 – Four years on from the signing of the Paris Agreement, representatives from over 200 countries will gather in Madrid, Spain, to kick-start the 25th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 25). It is a key milestone before next year’s critical COP which will take place in Glasgow, by which time countries are expected to come up with more ambitious national targets, known as “Nationally Determined Contributions,” or NDCs.
Through the NDC Support Facility, the Bank Group is helping countries around the world deliver on their NDCs, ranging from support that expands low-carbon transport to innovative GIS mapping of climate risk. It is doing so as a contribution to the NDC Partnership, a coalition of more than 150 countries and international institutions, to mobilize technical and financial resources to accelerate climate action in countries.
