AfDB, UNECA, UNDP, AU agree on partnerships for climate impact

Partners of the Africa Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Hub have stressed on the importance for African countries to implement their NDCs to adapt to climate impacts.

This is contained in a statement from the Communication and External Relations Department, African Development Bank (AfDB) on Wednesday.

NDCs represents the commitments of each country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change.

They were agreed to by countries during the Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) in Paris in 2015, a commitment known as ‘The Paris Agreement’.

Partners hosted a session titled “Enabling faster and efficient NDC support through advocacy and partnerships” at the just-ended Africa Climate Week.

The partners included the AfDB, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the African Union Commission (AUC), United Nations Development Fund (UNDP) and the Global Green Growth Institute.
