Deep Decarbonization Pathways (DDP) for Nigeria’s Low Emission Development up to 2060
This report summarises the results of the Deep Decarbonisation Pathways Project in Nigeria. The DDP-Nigeria project is a national research and capacity-building project for the implementation of a Deep Decarbonisation Pathway (DDP) in Nigeria under the framework of the 2050 Facility funded by the Agence Française de Dévelopment (AFD) with the International Relation and Sustainable Development Institute (IDDRI) as the Programme Coordinator with contributions from the Centre International de Recherche sur l’Environnement et le Développement (CIRED) France. The project was done in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Environment, Nigeria, through the Department of Climate Change (DCC) and the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC).

Towards the Second NDC : Call for a National Dialogue on the Acceleration of Energy Decarbonization in Indonesia
Indonesia has a climate goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner. Recent initiatives like the JETP, which focuses on decarbonizing the on-grid power sector with USD20 billion in public and private financing, have brought light on the importance of the alignment of key Indonesian energy-related decarbonization strategies such as LTS-LCCR, NDCs and other plans, for effective implementation and funding. Indeed, lack of coherence creates the risk of not reaching emission reduction goals. A National Dialogue on the Acceleration of Energy Decarbonization in Indonesia would be a key tool to help move forward the alignment and optimisation of implementation efforts. By doing it in the context of the Second NDC, alignment will make possible a clear milestone for 2035 of the path and ambition level of the country to credibly achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner.

GST Africa Report #2 – African Perspectives of the First GST Outcome: a Focus on International Cooperation
The diversity of global climate initiatives lack coordination, requiring a collective framework for effective integration of actions. Current efforts inadequately drive climate ambition, necessitating a new vision emphasizing creativity, context-specific strategies, and systemic transformations. African nations encounter obstacles meeting Paris Agreement targets. This report urges for enhanced cooperation focusing on environmental, transformative, and distributive outcomes — an effort that COP28 could guide for improved international cooperation beyond UNFCCC.

DDP Annual Report 2023 – Innovative International Cooperation for Climate – Reconciling urgent action and transformational change
The report emphasizes the urgent need for swift and transformative action on climate change in line with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals. Incremental changes won’t suffice; instead, a systemic transformation involving both technological and organizational shifts across all sectors and countries is essential.Â

GST Africa Report – Status Quo Analysis on African engagement and perspectives on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Global Stocktake
African countries have so far had a poor engagement in the Global Stocktake (GST) process due to a number of factors. This report tries to understand why that is the case and how we could improve on increasing their engagement.
