The world is on pace to reach 1.5 - 1.6 celsius of warming by 2040, and with little time remaining, countries must scale up ambition to pivot to a low-carbon future, building resilience and adaptive capacity for all citizens. This report features 19 snapshots of countries that use a whole-of-government approach with UNDP support, toward a unified climate strategy.

The objective of this document is to present a step-by-step framework to support countries to design and assess green recovery and green economy options that build on NDC processes and incorporate climate action.
