Analysis and Summary

Issue Focus

This report, Issue No. 4, examines how countries enhance the implementability and investability of their new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for the 2025 cycle. It explores strategies to align climate action with sustainable development financing, such as leveraging carbon markets, using Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs), and employing country platforms. The report highlights Nepal's new NDC as the first full submission from a least developed country (LDC), showcasing increased ambition and inclusivity.

NDC Submission Status

As of June 2025, 25 countries have submitted new NDCs, covering about 21% of global GHG emissions. Five of these submissions occurred in May and June 2025, including Nepal, which marked the first full LDC submission. While many countries set deeper 2035 targets, few strengthened their 2030 goals. Adaptation commitments are strengthening, but alignment with a 1.5°C pathway remains unverified, with urgent calls for emission reductions due to climate science alerts.

Analysis of Investability

The report analyzes 15 developing countries' NDCs based on three dimensions:

• Signaling Elements: 87% of NDCs include quantified targets, cost estimates, or policy frameworks, providing strong signals to investors.
• Actionable Elements: 67% feature implementation plans or financing instruments, but more concrete steps are needed.
• Enabling Governance Approaches: 80% demonstrate governance mechanisms, such as legal frameworks, to facilitate finance mobilization. Overall, NDCs show good progress but require enhancements in specific elements to attract investment.

Country Spotlight: Nepal

Nepal's NDC sets ambitious economy-wide emissions reduction targets (17.1% by 2030, 26.8% by 2035). It includes adaptation actions, loss and damage measures, and strategic investment mobilization, with an estimated $73.74 billion needed, largely from international climate finance. UNDP and the UN system supported Nepal, integrating gender equality and inclusivity.

Emerging Trends

Countries increasingly use tools like INFFs, carbon markets, and de-risking strategies to finance NDCs. Carbon markets are referenced in 84% of submissions, with 64% planning to use Article 6 mechanisms to attract investment. Challenges remain in fund disbursement, investor risk aversion, and capacity building, underscoring the need for clear financial plans and policy coherence.

Challenges and Support

Private finance requires detailed, bankable projects with verifiable impacts and standardized policies. UNDP and the Climate Promise support 95 countries, enhancing investment enablers such as carbon pricing, de-risking analyses, and green finance instruments. Examples include Uzbekistan's sovereign green bonds and Ghana's Article 6.2 project.

Aligning Climate and Development Finance

Integrated financing through INFFs and country platforms helps align climate actions with economic goals. Countries like Tunisia and Thailand use these tools to leverage public funds, reduce risks, and attract private investments for sustainable development.

Conclusion

While progress in NDC investability is evident, significant work is needed to bridge finance gaps and accelerate implementation. Continued UNDP support, policy reforms, and innovative finance mechanisms are crucial to meet climate goals and achieve a sustainable future.
