Developing countries’ NDCs: lessons learned for increasing transparency, ambition, and ownership

Based on extensive research on NDCs, we discuss interlinkages between development and climate action. We draw lessons learned from the current NDCs for future NDCs on e.g. conditionality of NDCs, equity, linkages to development agendas, SDGs and transparency requirements.
