Together with its partners, the initiative currently supports 120 countries, representing 80 percent of all developing countries worldwide, to define their national climate pledges, also known as the national determined contributions (NDCs), by engaging stakeholders across Government and society. To date, 89 of these countries have submitted NDCs to the UNFCCC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">On 3 November, during the first week of COP26, UNDP launched the next phase of the Climate Promise &#8211; From Pledge to Impact &#8211; scaling up its support to turn NDC targets into concrete action in at least 100 countries. This contribution will allow countries to accelerate inclusive action to meet their targets, while continuing to push for greater ambition in climate action.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWe warmly welcome Iceland\u2019s support as it joins the next chapter of UNDP\u2019s Climate Promise, which is assisting communities on the frontlines of climate change to respond and adapt to this ever-increasing threat,\u201d says UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner. \u201cIn many ways, Nationally Determined Contributions represent a country\u2019s sovereign investment plan to address the climate emergency. They are also a valuable policy instrument to drive forward wider sustainable development. Through the Climate Promise, we will also be able to surface and scale-up home-grown climate solutions that will accelerate progress towards the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the Global Goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Upon signing of the contribution, \u00de\u00f3rd\u00eds Kolbr\u00fan R. Gylfad\u00f3ttir, Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development Cooperation of Iceland said: \u201cClimate change is a global threat which countries must respond to collectively. Iceland is answering the call of developing countries, most recently heard at COP26; by significantly increasing its contributions to climate finance. UNDP\u00b4s Climate Promise is a strategically important program, which we are happy to support. We look forward to this new partnership with UNDP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Iceland\u2019s new contribution comes on top of over $20 million,\u00a0which Climate Promise partners have provided for the next phase of the initiative in 2021. The initiative is also a contribution to the NDC Partnership, a coalition of countries and institutions collaborating on climate action through NDCs, where UNDP is one of the largest implementers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has received a new contribution of approximately $ 1.2 million in funding from the Government of Iceland to support vulnerable countries on climate action.
