UNEP’s One Planet Network, the UNDP and the UN Climate Change secretariat have developed a practical toolbox that will help countries identify, prioritise, implement and track circular economy measures with a view to implementing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and making them more ambitious.
The NDC Guidance is a practical guide on identifying and prioritising circular measures regarding Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
It helps integrate existing approaches, such as the UN Toolbox on Building Circularity into NDCs. 27 activity sheets describe circular activities from a climate reporting perspective, helping with defining, tracking and reporting circular climate impacts.
This event aims to familiarise people with the Guidance on increasing NDC (Nationally Determined Contributions) ambitions through circular action and the related Activity Sheets, drawn up by the German International Cooperation Society's global Go Circular programme. It will highlight their role in enhancing climate ambitions through circular economy measures.
