To effectively report on all nationally determined contribution (NDC) elements while maximizing domestic benefits through transparency, countries should establish an NDC tracking framework as a continuous process that engages national stakeholders, enables learning and course correction, and empowers them to assess, manage, and track progress toward their climate targets. Effective data management ensures the accurate collection, storage, and accessibility of climate-related information, while projections, built on robust data, enable policymakers to forecast scenarios, assess risks, and plan measures. Together, these elements drive evidence-based and impactful climate action.
Several tools, methodologies and other resources are available to support countries in their efforts to track NDCs and manage climate data.
Provides valuable input for preparing and updating NDCs by identifying NDC targets for emissions reductions and by providing assessments of future emissions in different climate action scenarios.
Explore GACMO
Supports countries to systematically assess the impact of climate actions in the transport sector, facilitating the design and tracking of NDCs.
Explore TraCAD
Supports data collection and management, which can be used to automate or semi-automate data gathering and pre-processing for NDC tracking.
Explore SINAMECC
Help countries assess the impacts of climate policies and actions, supporting NDC revision and tracking of their progress.
