| Description
|
UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP is on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and its wide range of partners.
The following three Action Pledges submitted by UNDP respond to both of the NWP objectives, i.e., to assist countries to improve the understanding and assessment of climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, and to assist countries to make informed adaptation decisions. |
