NDC Aspects
The Paris Agreement’s Global Stocktake (GST) reviews progress every five years, guiding Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). NDC ASPECTS focuses on key sectors like transport, industry, buildings, and agriculture, aiming to enhance gender-responsive NDC revisions. Through Sectoral Conversations, it collaborates with experts to create evidence-based narratives, informing global and national pathways for strategic countries. The project assesses transformation challenges, emphasizing societal, economic, political, and environmental aspects, and aims to improve international governance for sectoral climate neutrality and Sustainable Development Goals attainment.

DDP BIICS
This project, conducted with research teams from five major emerging economies aims at developing decarbonisation pathways for key sectors in Brazil, China India, Indonesia and South Africa, and to stimulate public debate on this basis.
It is supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Government.
DDP LAC
This project aims at equipping in-country teams in Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Equateur, Mexico and Peru with tools and methodologies for the elaboration of decarbonisation pathways. Based on the expanded capacity, the secondary objective is to initiate and facilitate exchange of knowledge between researchers and decision-makers, so that the conclusions of long-term analysis are embraced in short-term policy, including in the revision of NDCs.
It is supported by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and the 2050 Pathways Platform.
DDP Transport
The first phase of this project focused on passenger mobility in France, Japan, Mexico and the United Kingdom. The pathways developed by the DDP research teams, as well as the pathway building tool resulting from their work, are already available on this website in beta version.
A second phase of the project is underway. It extends the approach to freight transport and to three new countries: China, India and South Africa.
This work has been presented in different fora, with other major international initiatives for the sector: Decarbonising Transport initiative led by ITF-OECD, Science Based Targets led by WWF, WRI, CDP and UNGC, Sustainable Urban Mobility led by WBCSD and the Global Macro Roadmap for Transport Decarbonisation led by PPMC.
