Mitigation Strategies
Working hand in hand with governments, sectoral institutions and local stakeholders to assess, revise, finance and implement ambitious NDCs. We support mitigation planning, sectoral integration, implementation roadmaps, Article 6.8 approaches, capacity-building, MRV systems, and the preparation of future NDC rounds in line with national development priorities and the Paris Agreement.
From ambition to action: we help clients turn climate ambition into results. It starts with NDCs, working hand in hand with governments and local stakeholders to design ambitious targets. We help translate national priorities into concrete national and sectoral strategies, plans and just-transition frameworks that are implementation-ready. And we design MRV systems, from the national policy level down to individual projects, built to meet international transparency standards.
01NDC implementation support
Your NDC moves from high-level pledge to a concrete implementation roadmap with prioritised sectoral measures.
- NDC implementation roadmaps
- Sectoral measures assessment and prioritisation
- Capacity building for implementing institutions
Governments · Development agencies and international organisations · e.g. GIZ, UN agencies, NDC Partnership
02NDC analysis
Helps you understand how countries have progressed on their NDCs, including the ambition, sectoral targets and financial needs.
- Assessment of updated NDCs
- Ambition and sectoral target review
- Financial needs analysis
Government funders · Development agencies · e.g. UK FCDO, NDC Partnership
03Climate strategies and policy support
Your policies deliver measurable climate impact, grounded in sectoral analysis and international best practice.
- Deep-dive into a diversity of sectoral policies, e.g. energy efficiency standards (MEPS)
- Emission Trading Schemes
- Carbon border adjustment (CBAM)
- Capacity building and knowledge products on policy alignment with the Paris Agreement and NDC targets
Governments · International organisations · e.g. UN agencies, GIZ, World Bank
04Scoping and design of climate action
Your mitigation activities are scoped and designed to achieve ambitious climate impact and meet funding requirements.
- Scoping and design of concrete mitigation activities
- Funding proposal development (GCF, Mitigation Action Facility)
- Capacity building on funding proposal development
Governments · Development agencies and international organisations · e.g. UN agencies, GGGI, GIZ
05National and sectoral mitigation MRV systems
Your mitigation impacts become trackable, with MRV frameworks aligned to NDC tracking and transparency requirements.
- MRV frameworks aligned with NDC tracking and transparency requirements
- Methodologies for tracking climate co-benefits of strategies and activities
- Capacity building on MRV and transparency requirements
Governments · International organisations · e.g. ICAR, UN agencies, World Bank
06Climate impact assessment of funding vehicles
You understand the climate impact of your portfolio, backed by sound accounting frameworks, processes and tools.
- Development of tools for assessing the mitigation impact of projects
- Plausibility checks of submitted funding proposals
Climate funds and investors · Development agencies · e.g. Mitigation Action Facility, GIZ, CDP, Green Climate Fund
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
NDCs are at the heart of the Paris Agreement, which provides for a systemic and long-term approach to tackling climate change that each country pursues through national climate targets. Countries signatory to the Paris Agreement commit to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and enhancing their resilience to the impacts of climate change. NDCs provide a framework for nations to tailor their climate actions to their unique circumstances, ultimately contributing to the global effort to combat climate change and limit its catastrophic impacts.
Our sectoral work on NDCs spans renewable energy, energy efficiency and cooling, transport, waste management, industry, and agriculture, livestock and forestry.
