Briefing series on sectoral implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs)

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) has published a series of briefing papers dealing with the sectoral implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs). The eight different briefing have been complied by the GIZ Climate Policy Support Programme, which supports developing countries in their efforts in climate change adaptation and mitigation, and focus each on a different sector: the finance, transparency, energy supply, energy sufficiency, transport, agriculture, and forestry and land-use sectors are covered.

Each briefing provides an overview on the sectoral effects on climate change and offers prospects for implementing NCDs into the sector. Furthermore, concrete options to integrate sectoral measures into future NDCs are suggested. The briefings have been complied with input from by climate change and sector experts and sector colleagues and are targeted towards sectoral experts that deal with NDC implementation and its challenges as well as climate change experts.

Briefing Series:

Sectoral implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) – Overview

The main focus of this briefing is the electricity supply side of the power sector. It lays out the sectors situation and its prospects for the implementation of NDCs.

Sectoral implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) – Energy efficiency with a focus on buildings
This briefing deals with the integration of energy efficiency into NDCs. Since the building sector is not covered in any of the other briefings of the series, it is singled out for specific analysis.

Sectoral implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) – Transport
This briefing paper presents the situation and prospects for implementation of NDCs in the transport sector.
