This document discusses how a facilitative dialogue could help parties progress toward the goals of the Paris Agreement. It suggests the dialogue assess: (1) current emissions and progress, (2) the scale of emissions reductions needed to limit warming to 1.5C and associated timelines, and (3) effective policies and technologies. Inputs from the UNFCCC, IPCC, and other scientific bodies could help with these assessments. The dialogue could identify information gaps in NDCs and recommend additional data. It could produce summary reports highlighting progress, emissions gaps, and priority actions. Parties could then adopt a decision identifying milestones to achieve 1.5C warming.

11.3.3 Experiencing on enhancing institutional arrangements and support for t...NAP Events
The document identifies needs for national adaptation plans (NAPs) based on stocktaking exercises and country contexts. Key needs include strengthening coordination, conducting vulnerability assessments, integrating adaptation into planning processes, and establishing budgets and implementation mechanisms. The NAP Global Support Programme addresses these needs through regional training workshops, knowledge sharing, and tools to promote NAP development and implementation. However, challenges persist around limited data and capacity as well as insufficient domestic and international financing.
The document discusses options for making information exchanges under the UNFCCC's Mitigation Work Programme more impactful in urgently scaling up climate change mitigation. It suggests sharing details on successful policies that have driven rapid emissions reductions, like Canada's methane flaring policies or Norway's electric vehicle uptake. Linking these policy discussions to investment events and tools could help match mitigation projects with financing and inspire similar actions in other contexts. The goal is to reduce the time lag for implementing ambitious climate policies by learning from others' experiences under the Work Programme.

The document discusses mainstreaming adaptation to climate change into development planning. Mainstreaming means systematically identifying climate risks and opportunities and modifying policies, strategies, and plans wherever necessary to address vulnerabilities across sectors in the long term. It involves taking a development-first approach where climate change is considered an integral part of development planning. The key steps for mainstreaming adaptation are to identify development goals and how they could be affected by climate change, identify which policies and plans need modification to reduce vulnerabilities, identify relevant adaptation options, engage actors responsible for implementation, and identify required resources and capacities as well as barriers. Mainstreaming helps make national investments work for climate change and can improve access to international climate funds.
The summary provides an overview of key outcomes and findings from reports presented at a side event of the Standing Committee on Finance at COP27:
- The Fifth Biennial Assessment found a 12% increase in global climate finance flows, but they remain small relative to needs. Most public finance supports mitigation over adaptation.
- Progress towards the $100 billion goal was assessed across addressing developing country needs, mitigation actions, and transparency. The goal was not met in 2020 but could be reached in 2023. Challenges include mobilizing private finance.
- Definitions of climate finance received varied views from parties. Common ground included financing mitigation and adaptation, but differed on other areas and accounting instruments. Operational

Frauke Röser, Niklas Höhne and Thomas Day presented on "Preparation of first NDCs kick-started national mitigation policy process, but momentum needs to be maintained", at the "Making climate action more transparent and ambitious" side event at COP24 in December 2018.
Countries can strengthen their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to help close the emissions gap in several ways: by strengthening NDCs directly, increasing the coverage and effectiveness of national policies like renewable energy support and efficiency standards, and replicating successful policies globally which could reduce emissions to levels consistent with 2 degree warming. Most climate mitigation actions also provide sustainable development benefits like economic growth, improved health from reduced air pollution, new jobs and increased energy security.

This document discusses using an S-curve model to project technology uptake like electric vehicles and renewable energy sources under different policy scenarios. It can model a "best practice policy" scenario based on successful country examples and a "no policy" scenario without incentives. The model links specific policies to factors that influence adoption rates. Analysis identifies policy areas where countries can improve incentives to increase technology uptake towards best practice levels. Results are intended to help policymakers understand how policies impact projections and what more actions may be possible.

About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile
Synopsis (short abstract) In December 2023, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 30 May as the International Day of Potato.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

04/04/2017 www.newclimate.org 5
Finance is central to the feasibility of NDC implementation
Around 80% of developing countries communicate conditional targets
and commitments – in most cases conditions relate to financial or capacity
building support
75 developing countries articulate finance needs in their NDCs – but
clarity is limited
The data and information presented in the INDCs provides limited clarity on
actual finance and support needs
This was not the major purpose of NDCs; the purpose of the NDCs is to
internationally communicate a governments climate change intentions
6. Financing sector transformation

Requirements for further development of sector-level investment plans for NDC
implementation:
Development of sector-level decarbonisation pathways

Identification of investment priorities
Identification of barriers for implementation and feasibility of instruments to
unlock investments
Design of specific financial interventions
Assessment of domestic financial resources and international support needs
Development of investment proposals and project pipeline for presentation
to potential (international) funds and investors
Much of this information already available from other policy planning processes
at the national and sector level.
7. Sector guidance in NDCs
04/04/2017 www.newclimate.org 7
Major focus on energy supply sector in NDCs,
where sector level detail is common.
NDCs generally designed for international
communication of climate plans, rather than for
sectoral guidance
Sector focus observed in NDCs is in line with the
UNFCCC Common Reporting Format (CRF)
advantageous for aggregated emission
accounting, and comparability of efforts
May entail limitations for the development of
implementation plans at the sector level

11. Energy efficiency (building sector)
1104/04/2017
Given the building sector’s huge mitigation potential, a
key priority should be to, either:
• start prioritising the building sector for more explicit and specific
NDC inclusion; and/or
• develop clear (separate) guidance on what the high level targets
of the NDC mean for the sector, with clear mandates.
Implementation and ambition raising could benefit from
participation of subnational governance and urban
planners in design of NDC.
Planning and action often hindered by data/info
deficits; establishing processes for access to existing
(decentralised) collected information is vital.

Editor's Notes
Based on survey of 52 countries conducted early 2015 and November 2015.
The NDC process has made significant developments for the mainstreaming of climate change in sector planning
Line ministries and sector specific stakeholders hold the greatest influence over the development of sector-level interventions.
Sector specific line ministries have the expertise and mandate to develop and implement effective sector level policies.
Where the development of sector level policies and strategies is not be aligned with climate change planning and/or the NDC process, the potential to achieve the NDC may be severely compromised.
Countries that already involved line ministries in the development of the NDC, or in earlier processes, generally reported fewer challenges in their planning processes than countries where processes remain centralised to a single responsible ministry or agency (NewClimate Institute 2015). This is mainly due to the enhanced availability of information and expertise on specific sector options, the alignment with sectoral strategies, and greater awareness and political will of sector-level decision makers and stakeholders.
Major focus on energy supply sector in NDCs, where sector level detail is common. Other sectors are relatively well “covered” in NDCs, although often only within economy-wide targets: reference to specific targets and measures for these other sectors is much less common than for the energy sector.
NDCs are generally designed for international communication of climate plans, using a sector categorisation that is logical for emissions accounting. This was the purpose of NDCs. However, such an approach may not offer clear guidance for how such targets should be implemented at the sector level. In the case that NDCs were born out of existing sector-level plans or more comprehensive strategies that breaks high level climate targets into sector and sub-sector action, this is not an issue. However, this is not the case in many countries where NDCs are often stand-alone documents that are at times misaligned with sector plans. Further information or processes is required to provide clarity to sectors on how to implement the targets of NDCs.
Current state of NDCs provides limited guidance for how the targets should be implemented at the sector level.
Can be addressed in two ways:
Revisions to the NDC to enhance sector-level clarity; and/or
Development of clear (separate) guidance on what the high level targets of the NDC mean for individual sectors and sub-sectors
In case countries wish to address this through NDC revision, 5 key steps can assist sector-level clarity.
While the previous slide shows how NDCs can be revised to enhance sector-level clarity, not all Parties will wish to add such comprehensive detail to their NDC; some countries have approached NDCs as a more comprehensive document for climate policy, but many have preferred to structure it simply as a basic tool for international communication of climate ambition.
Whether or not Parties add more sector-level clarity to their NDCs, this slide shows some of the steps which could be taken to enable the conditions for sector-level implementation of NDCs.
Example of sector paper: buildings (energy efficiency)
The building sector is a key example of how the NDCs and climate terminology sometimes may fail to provide clear guidance for a sector. Practitioners who must implement action to achieve this mitigation potential belong to the “building and construction sector”. For these practitioners, there is no such thing as an “energy efficiency sector”, nor do they consider themselves a subset of the energy sector. Logical sector categorisation for emissions accounting does not necessarily equate to logical sector categorisation for implementation of action.
