Wildlife guidelines for NDCs

In 2025, Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are required to submit their updated Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs, outlining their revised plans for tackling the growing crisis of climate change. IFAW’s guidelines address the critical need to align national climate strategies with biodiversity goals, tackling both crises in tandem and ensuring that conserving ecosystems and wildlife can contribute to carbon sequestration while supporting economic development and climate resilience.
