ACCLIMATE

The overall objective of the ACCLIMATE project is to achieve enhanced integrated national and international strategies for climate-resilient, low-emission development. ACCLIMATE will contribute to improving the transparency, consistency, and clarity of emission reduction commitments and create appropriate tools by developing an assessment framework for mitigation commitments.

Working in a bottom-up manner with national experts within an international consortium comprising high-emitting countries from the Americas, Asia and Europe, as well as low-emitting countries from West Africa, ACCLIMATE will identify needs for improvements of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and long-term strategies. A focus will be set on adequacy, fairness and feasibility, as well as on needs for improving current policies and measures to actually achieve the NDCs and long-term objectives.
The development of enhanced pathways and policy recommendations will build on sectoral deep dives in order to fully capture sector-specific mitigation enablers and barriers. ACCLIMATE will in particular focus on the sectors industry, buildings, transport, energy supply, as well as agriculture, forestry and other land uses. ACCLIMATE will enhance the capacity in partner countries to develop and model mitigation strategies and pathways and to analyse and develop respective policy strategies and packages. Furthermore, the project team will develop enhanced strategies at national, sectoral and international level in close cooperation with political decisionmakers and stakeholders.
