“To provide climate justice for all and preserve a livable planet, greenhouse gas emissions must fall dramatically and efforts to adapt to climate impacts must be stepped up,” said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). “However, greenhouse gas emissions are not falling, global temperatures are hitting new highs and vulnerable populations are suffering. NDCs 3.0 must match the moment we face and be far more ambitious.”

To help countries shape the next round of their climate pledges under the Paris Agreement, UNEP, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the NDC Partnership, in collaboration with the UNFCCC Secretariat (UN Climate Change), are organizing NDCs 3.0 Regional Fora.

in 2025, countries are required to submit new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). These plans are known as NDCs 3.0. In these NDCs, countries are encouraged to set 2035 ambitious, economy-wide emission reduction targets that align with limiting global warming to 1.5°C and increase resilience to climate impacts.

To help countries shape the next round of their climate pledges under the Paris Agreement, UNEP, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the NDC Partnership, in collaboration with the UNFCCC Secretariat (UN Climate Change), are organizing NDCs 3.0 Regional Fora.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), and the NDC Partnership are organizing the regional fora in collaboration with the UNFCCC Secretariat.

Additional partners include the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), the UN-REDD programme, and the German development cooperation agency (GIZ). The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) collaborated on the Asian forum. The regional fora aim to help parties to deliver on their commitments.

The fora will draw on insights from the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 28) and the Global Stocktake (GST) to focus on adaptation and mitigation options and inclusion of super pollutants like methane and black carbon.

Government officials will engage in peer-to-peer learning, share lessons on how to develop policy roadmaps that lead to implementation, and explore innovative financing models, with the aim of leading to transformational change.

The schedule for the NDCs 3.0 Regional Fora taking place in 2024 has been set as follows:
