Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are a centrepiece of the new global climate regime which was agreed at COP21 in Paris and form the foundation for the pathway towards a low-carbon and climate resilient development. By March 2016, 188 countries have submitted their INDCs, many of them including an unconditional as well as a conditional component.

This paper by Germanwatch and Perspectives analyses specifically the financial aspects included in the INDCs and aims to contribute towards a definition of comprehensive financing strategies for implementing NDCs. It provides an analytical overview of the financial aspects that have been included in the INDCs submitted so far and provides a discussion of options for financing NDC implementation.

With its mandate to promote a paradigm shift towards low-emissions and climate-resilient development pathways the Green Climate Fund (GCF) has reached full operationalisation in 2015 and is resourced with over US$ 6bn (with more than 10bn pledged). According to its initial results management framework the GCF aims to achieve a “reduction of emissions from buildings and cities” while at the same time “increasing the resilience of infrastructure and the built environment to climate change threats”. However, clear operationalisation pathways for the GCF to reach the subnational level are still lacking to date. This publication by Germwanwatch offers some suggestions on how to shape the GCF so that its finance flows better suit the needs of cities.
