Voices on NDC Explorer

“This tool is important for Africa because it provides vital information that is essential to inform decisions on climate change. A major challenge for Africa has been the lack of climate information database which details information from national to continental level."

Nicholas Ozor, executive director of the Kenya-based African Technology Policy Studies Network on SciDev.Net

“NDCs are key instruments to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement and to move towards a low-emission and climate resilient future. Understanding NDCs and navigating the information that is communicated in NDCs is critical for their implementation and will help to enhance the ambition of global efforts over time. The new NDC explorer provides easy access to all INDCs and NDCs and will allow stakeholders to navigate through the information that has been communicated by governments and to look at it from different perspectives.”

Claudio Forner, Team Lead, Mitigation Implementation Support, UNFCCC Secretariat

“I am pleased to see DIE's NDC Explorer going live. The NDC Explorer contributes to the goal of the NDC Partnership to provide open-access knowledge tools that support the global efforts for effective and ambitious NDC implementation.”

Ingrid Gabriela Hoven, Directorate of Global Issues at the BMZ

"The NDC explorer will be a useful tool for us and our partners in civil society organizations around the world, because it makes the information contained in the NDCs more transparent and comparable. This makes our job easier of holding governments to account, so they implement and improve their NDCs."

Christoph Bals, Policy Director, Germanwatch

"The (I)NDCs have become the central building block for the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement.  Beyond the emission reduction targets, however, the contents of the national climate plans remained unclear - until now."  

Pieter Pauw, former senior researcher in the development of the NDC Explorer at IDOS
