The developing countries treat climate measures and responses secondary in the current pandemic situation. The space for civil society engagement for ambition in climate response has reduced. In this context, the project aims to strengthen contributions of CSOs in Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Uganda. The project addresses the political anchoring and implementation of ambitious climate measures through improved Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) through capacity building of CSOs, youth groups, gender based organisations and building awareness in decision makers.
