Digital technologies are increasingly shaping how countries design, implement, and track their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). From data systems and AI-enabled analytics to digital MRV and climate intelligence tools, a new technological layer is emerging within climate governance.
At the same time, countries continue to face persistent challenges, making implementation slow and uneven.
An event at the Bonn Climate Meetings this afternoon will explore how digital and AI-enabled systems can support NDC implementation. Expected outcomes include:
- Clearer understanding of how digital supports implementation
- Identification of key barriers to scale
- Alignment across public and private actors
- Practical insights for COP31 discussions and beyond
Event: AI & digital in action for NDCs
Date: Wednesday 17 June 2026
Time: 16:30 – 17:45 CEST
Location: Bonn 1/2/3, Plenary Building
Culture and storytelling shape how people understand and respond to climate change. Film, in particular, can make complex issues human, relatable, and accessible.
Today at SB64, a special side event will feature a screening of the short film-festival-winner “An Amazon’s Night Dream” and a discussion that will examine how film and the broader creative industries can move beyond awareness-raising to inspire hope, agency, and tangible climate action.
The event brings together two UN Climate Change-led initiatives: Entertainment and Culture for Climate Action and Resilience Frontiers, which explores climate-positive futures and pathways towards them through foresight.
Both initiatives share a belief in the power of imagination and storytelling to help envision and shape resilient and sustainable desirable futures.
