Partnership in Action Report: Driving Impact as a Global Coalition

Each year, the NDC Partnership publishes the “Partnership in Action” report, showcasing the impact of its global membership.

As a coalition of more than 130 countries — developed and developing — and more than 100 institutions, the NDC Partnership works collectively to deliver on the goals of the Paris Agreement and advance sustainable development worldwide. While its overarching goal remains constant, the focus of NDC Partnership efforts adapts to the needs and priorities of developing countries.

In 2024, the NDC Partnership continued fast-tracking the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and scaling up support to countries in raising the ambition of their “NDCs 3.0,” NDC submissions due in 2025. The collective efforts of Partnership members are critical at this pivotal moment to drive ownership and efficiency in delivery of the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement.

Stories of Progress

From Colombia’s efforts to mobilize climate finance to Armenia’s progress on renewable energy, the “Partnership in Action” report highlights stories of progress from across the NDC Partnership — organized around four Impact Pathways.

NDC Partnership Impact Pathways

The Partnership in Action report captures the impact of Partnership members through four primary pathways. These pathways represent interconnected and strategic areas through which countries and partners come together to plan and execute ambitious climate actions.

Together, the pathways capture the comprehensive efforts required to drive transformational change and climate-aligned economic growth. The Partnership’s work across these pathways unlocks technical and financial resources and expertise, empowering countries to address barriers and constraints that may otherwise limit national climate efforts. The pathways demonstrate how members’ collective efforts span the entire spectrum of climate and development — from planning to action.

This report illustrates each pathway through real-world examples, highlighting how countries and institutions collaborate to achieve tangible outcomes and meet national climate commitments.
