Towards Green Climate Fund Accreditation and Support

The ground-breaking Paris Agreement on climatechange was adopted in 2015, and it entered into forcewithin a year. By November 2017, 170 countries,including a majority of Sida’s cooperation countries,had ratified it. The Agreement aims to keep the temperatureincrease below 2°C, and to pursue effortsto limit it to 1.5°C, and to enhance the capacity toadapt to climate change. The main tool to achievethe goals is countries’ own Nationally DeterminedContributions (NDCs). Sida supports implementationof a large number of actions in different countriesthat are contributing to NDCs and the implementationof the Paris Agreement. However, there is agreat need and potential to support this developmentfurther.
