Background

Developing countries continue to face persistent challenges in accessing and effectively utilizing climate finance to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). These challenges often stem from limited institutional capacity, fragmented coordination mechanisms, and insufficient engagement across key stakeholder groups. In response, the Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB) selected “Capacity-building for holistic investment strategies, bankable projects, and stakeholder engagement to strengthen the implementation of NDCs and NAPs in developing countries” as its 2025 focus area. 

This event explored replicable activities and approaches that enhance the capacity of developing countries to prepare and implement NDCs and NAPs. It facilitated the exchange of knowledge and good practices, in line with decision 1/CMA.5, paragraph 117, and highlighted national success stories from the perspectives of implementing partners and Parties. 

By showcasing practical experiences and lessons learned, the session aimed to foster peer learning and inspire scalable solutions that support climate action and resilience in developing countries. 

Objectives 

  • Share success stories and good practices on strengthening technical and strategic capacities to design and implement bankable climate projects. 

  • Provide insights into public-private partnerships, innovative financing instruments, and capacity-building programs.
