Join us for an insightful online webinar series aimed at equipping civil society in advancing ambitious climate action through the Paris Ambition Cycle, by influencing the upcoming submission process and implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), that is, the national climate commitments. This 5-webinar series is part of the CIDSE NDC Transparency Initiative (CIDSE, Misereor, Fastenaktion, BUND) in collaboration with CANSA, Caritas Internationalis and Alliance2015. We will explore how we can strengthen national engagement and advocacy to drive greater transparency, ambition and accountability in the implementation of the NDCs.  

Main Objectives

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the Paris Ambition Cycle and its role in climate governance. 

• Learn how civil society can actively contribute to shaping and enhancing climate ambition and transparency in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for 2025. 

• Discover lessons from the NDC Transparency Initiative case studies and explore innovative approaches to climate data reporting and policy alignment. 

Why Attend?  

This series is designed to create a platform for mutual learning, exchange of experiences, and to clarify civil society’s role in advocating for stronger climate action. Together, we’ll address common challenges and explore how to improve NDC clarity and transparency in alignment with COP28 and the Global Stocktake (GST) outcomes. 

Who Should Attend?  

Civil society organizations, climate advocates, policymakers, and anyone interested in advancing climate ambition and ensuring transparent, evidence-based climate policies.
