NewClimate Institute, supported by GIZ, developed a series of briefing papers giving an overview of status and prospects for NDC implementation at the sector level. The papers summarise the current status of NDC submissions, the coverage of sectors within the NDC submissions, new trends for mitigation potential and action within sectors, and key recommendations for moving forward with NDC implementation and ambition raising. The briefing series consists of a general overview paper, two thematic focus papers on the relevance of climate finance and transparency for sectoral implementation of NDCs, and five sector-focused papers, including the electricity supply sector, energy efficiency in buildings, transport, agriculture and forestry.
