The World Bank NDC Support Facility: Impacts and Lessons Learned Supporting NDC Implementation

Driving Transformational Climate Action

Climate change and its impacts are accelerating, making it more urgent than ever to transition to low-carbon and resilient economies, as envisioned in the Paris Agreement. Achieving this will require meeting the commitments made by countries in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Launched in 2016, the NDC Support Facility (NDC-SF) worked with developing countries that are members of the NDC Partnership, a global coalition of countries and institutions working to reduce emissions and build resilience by channeling financial and technical resources and promoting cross-sectoral collaboration and the engagement of diverse stakeholders. This paper provides an overview of the NDC-SF’s work from 2019 to 2021, identifies key impacts and lessons learned, and describes its way forward.
