The 7^th Durban Forum on capacity-building took place on 3 May 2018 during the forty-eighth session of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation. Under the overarching topic of enhancing capacities for the implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in the context of the Paris Agreement, the discussions focused on: (1) enhancing institutional, technical, relational and strategic capacities for NDC implementation; (2) building capacities for integrating cross-cutting issues, such as gender responsiveness, human rights and indigenous peoples’ knowledge, into NDC implementation; and (3) building capacities for tracking and reporting on the implementation and impacts of NDC-related actions, and the finance used to support these actions.
