UNDP has globally launched its ambitious “Climate Promise” in November 2019 which will support 100 countries to enhance their NDCs under the Paris Agreement by 2020, with demonstrated increase in ambition for greater emissions reduction and resilience building. The proposed “UNDP’s Climate Promise: Enhancing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by 2020 for Bangladesh” will assist the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) in preparing the ambitious and updated NDC for Bangladesh for submission to the UNFCCC towards fulfillment of the obligation to the convention, following guidelines adopted by the NDC of the UNFCCC and for fostering enabling conditions to mainstream mitigation concerns into sustainable development strategies. It will mainstream the climate change into the national planning, programming and budgetary process and will help Bangladesh mainstream mitigation action in support of the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
