Nationally Determined Contributions: Resrouce Bank
What are the NDCs?
The Nationally Determined Contributions are each country’s climate pledge under the Paris Agreement. They are intended to reflect individual country needs and responsibilities and should support the most ambitious emissions reductions possible. They also must prioritize climate justice, centering the most impacted communities in all solutions.
What is the Resource Bank?
Care About Climate’s international team is working to support youth-led projects to assess, advocate on, and support the implementation of each country’s NDC. These resources help guide advocacy on creating just and equitable international climate solutions.
