About

The NDC LAC tool is a joint initiative of Euroclima, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Fundación Avina and the LEDS LAC Regional Platform, to create synergies that increase the effectiveness and progress in the implementation of the Paris Agreement in the region.

The NDC LAC digital tool provides climate action stakeholders with relevant information on commitments and progress in implementing NDCs. This information is needed to design strategies and policies in line with the objectives established in the Paris Agreement, and to ensure transparency.

The data contained therein will be updated regularly.

This initiative consolidates in a single location information from three complementary initiatives:

• The systematization and analysis of the Peer Dialogue initiative, funded by EUROCLIMA and executed through a strategic alliance between GIZ and ECLAC with the support of Fundación Avina.
• The Panorama study of NDCs in the region conducted by ECLAC.
• The LEDSenLAC report conducted by the LEDS LAC platform with support from IDB and UNDP.

Efforts are focused on reviewing the commitments made by the countries of the region in the first NDCs in order to contribute to the regional discussion and identify the challenges and opportunities faced by Latin America in responding to the climate crisis. This digital tool was developed by Libélula, a consulting firm specialized in sustainability and climate change issues.
