Learning from past experience, the side event presents strategies for improving countries’ next NDCs based on research from several upcoming academic publications and the NDC-SDG Connections tool.

This event, which is co-hosted by SEI’s partners, German Development Institute will include a distinguished panel of experts.

Moderator: Arunabha Ghosh (founding partner and CEO of Council on Energy, Environment and Water, India)
