💡 The more precisely countries define their needs, the easier it is for the global community to mobilize resources and structure collaborations that accelerate the transition to net zero.

How Can Countries Signal Their Cooperation Needs?
📝 Clearly outline key assumptions & dependencies in NDCs
🤝 Identify where partnerships are needed to accelerate action
📢 Communicate specific needs for technology, finance, and policy support
February 27, 2025 at 12:12 PM
A long-term perspective helps identify key cooperation areas:
✅ Technology costs & availability
✅ Climate finance & investment flows
✅ Capacity building & knowledge sharing
✅ Trade regulations & global policies
February 27, 2025 at 12:12 PM
✅ Are there clear short- and medium-term milestones towards net-zero?
✅ Where is international cooperation essential for success?

📘 Our NDC Guide provides a framework to strengthen alignment and ambition.
