Climate change presents the single biggest threat to sustainable development and is already causing widespread, unprecedented impacts that disproportionately burden the poorest, marginalized and most vulnerable. To mitigate the impacts and reduce future risks, countries unanimously agreed in the Paris Agreement to work toward global goals that would limit global average temperature rise, with one decision being to put forward climate action plans known as “Nationally Determined Contributions”, or NDCs. The NDCs describe each country’s self-determined strategy for curbing GHG emissions, typically in five- or ten-year periods (i.e., currently until 2025 or 2030). All countries are expected to submit increasingly ambitious NDCs every five years, often described as a “ratchet mechanism”.

The NDC outlines the country’s transition to a low carbon and climate resilience future which describes the enhanced actions and the necessary enabling environment during the 2015-2019 period that will lay the foundation for more ambitious goals beyond 2020. Indonesia as one of the participating countries of this framework, and as per the timeline is moving towards the implementation of its proposed activities to fulfil five key Climate Promise tasks: 1. to build political will & societal ownership at national/sub-national levels; 2. To review, align & update/enhance current NDC targets, policies & measures; 3. To incorporate additional sectors &/or GHGs; 4. To assess costs & investment opportunities; and, 5. To monitor progress & strengthen transparency.

UNDP’s Climate Promise on NDC enhancement is proposed in this context to support around 100 countries both financially and technically to undertake an inclusive and transparent engagement process for enhancing their NDCs by 2020, with demonstrated increase in ambition. It will be delivered in collaboration with FAO, IRENA, UNEP, UNICEF, UN-HABITAT and World Bank, with support from the European Union and the governments of Sweden, Germany, Spain, Italy, and others.
