3️⃣ South Africa: NDC formation is a hybrid approach that combines technical analysis with extensive stakeholder consultations. Parliamentarians can advocate for inclusive, ambitious NDCs through parliamentary committees and constituency engagement.

5/n

2️⃣ Kenya: It has a more consultative, bottom-up approach to NDC formulation with strong formal avenues for parliamentarians to influence NDCs. Parliamentarians in Kenya can engage in international platforms, introduce bills, and directly advocate through government task forces.

4/n
