Ensuring effective implementation of NDCs 3.0: policy options and business solutions

As Parties are submitting their updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for the next 10 years, COP30 will be a crucial moment to assess progress towards a 1.5°C trajectory. Businesses are indispensable partners on this journey and can bring solutions of pivotal importance to implement the NDCs and enable higher ambitions globally.

This COP30 side-event will be a moment to take stock of global climate commitments and reflect on business solutions as well as policy options to ensure effective implementation of the updated NDCs.
