Uganda launches NDC 3.0 development process
Summary
Quality NDCs will foster credibility and transparency in raising ambition on climate finance and other means of implementation, says AfDB’s Director of Climate Change and Green Growth Department, Anthony Nyong.
The Government of Uganda, with support from the African Development Bank (AfDB), has launched the stocktake of Uganda’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and initiated the commencement of the NDC 3.0 development process.
The launch, which held last month, represents a major step in Uganda’s climate action agenda, aligning national efforts with the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement and aims to strengthen Uganda’s climate ambition while addressing key national priorities, according to AfDB.
A cross-section of stakeholders participated in the workshop, including senior government officials, development partners, civil society organisations, and members of academia. The sessions featured an overview of Uganda’s NDC 3.0 roadmap, outlining the next steps: assessing the implementation of the updated 2021 NDC, identifying emerging priorities, refining targets, costing new commitments, and preparing bankable investment plans to support implementation.
AfDB’s Director of Climate Change and Green Growth Department, Anthony Nyong, said: “Quality NDCs will foster credibility and transparency in raising ambition on climate finance and other means of implementation.”
