NDC Support Programme

The NDC Support Programme works with countries to help formulate and implement their climate targets.  The programme was launched in 2017 at the UN Climate Summit (COP23), by UNDP, together with the European Union and the Governments of Germany and Spain. The programme is implemented in contribution to the NDC Partnership.

Since its launch, the programme has grown significantly and is currently supporting 41 countries around the world.
