United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Document Summary:
Organizational profile: The United Nations Development Programme works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. They help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results. Drawing on over forty years of experience in sustainable development, UNDP assists countries to implement their obligations under Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and to integrate environmental concerns into national and sectoral plans and strategies; secure resources; and implement programmes that advance inclusive, sustainable development and strengthen livelihoods.
UNDP's Funding Windows are a pooled, flexible funding mechanism that provide a strategic opportunity for partners to contribute to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Through the Nature, Climate and Energy Funding Window UNDP will advance its work on several closely connected high priority climate, energy, health and environmental challenges.
Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) are a locus of national planning for a future of decarbonization and green jobs, delivering sustainable development alongside agreed climate change priorities under the Paris Agreement. UNDP’s NDC Support Programme provides tailored assistance to countries to enhance and implement these climate action plans.
