Using a Systematic Communication Model to optimise “Nationally Determined Contributions”
Experience from complex political and technical processes such as climate change action show that a high number and variety of stakeholders need to be involved to get broad and action and high impact in short time. This complexity brings up a number of communicative challenges. Therefore this publication is looking at a field tested dialogue model, at the general planning process to design nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement and at the recent practical experience of communication with stakeholders of "Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC)-"Development processes.
To get broader acceptance of NDCs, better cooperation with partners for more ambition and integrated political and technical action strands as well as advocacy for climate action recommendations are drawn on how to use elements of such a model to overcome communication challenges of stakeholder involvement in NDC planning and implementation. It is clear that there is no blueprint for single dialogue architecture, therefore this publication is guided by the idea of a consistent and goal directed NDC communication strategy.
