Summary
The Resource guide for NDC finance presents a curated selection of resources on a range of topics around finance for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and low emission development strategies (LEDS). PDF versions of the guide can be downloaded form the right-hand column or accessed online here (clickable pdf), or discover the interactive guide here.
The resources guide is designed to help NDC and LEDS practitioners find high quality resources that meet their specific needs, avoiding time consuming web searching. It will be useful to individuals working on, or interested in, NDC and LEDS finance in both developed and developing countries.
In the guide
The resources are organized using a framework comprising six main sections (see below), each containing a brief introduction, plus one or two featured resources that provide a good introduction to the topic area, and a general resources subsection, where resources covering a number of subsection topics are presented. Most subsections also contain country-specific reports or case study documents.
For each resource, a short description outlines its purpose, what it covers, and who it is aimed at. Especially relevant chapters are indicated. Publication details and document size are also given, along with a hyperlink to the resource. Linked themes between sections and subsections, and resources that are relevant to a number of subsections, are highlighted and hyperlinked through the guide.
