Regional Snapshot: Europe and Central Asia

There is no country in the Europe and Central Asia region where the impact of climate change cannot be seen and felt – from catastrophic flooding in Western Balkan countries to more widespread and prolonged droughts in the countries of Central Asia.

Key climate risks identified in the region include heat-related deaths, heat and drought stress on crops, increased flooding, and sea-level rise.

This Snapshot explores regional NDC submission, ambition and quality status while assessing progress on key systems and architecture for NDC implementation. It also looks at areas of past and future Climate Promise support, showcasing regional champions and providing insight on emerging trends and opportunities.

​The 2022 State of Global Ambition Regional Snapshots provide regional analysis of Climate Promise supported countries NDC status and implementation readiness. They build upon, and update information, from UNDP's Global NDC Outlook Report 2021: The State of Global Ambition.
