2022 review of climate ambition in Asia and the Pacific: raising NDC targets with enhanced nature-based solutions

This ESCAP, UNEP and UNICEF joint assessment report: 2022 Review of Climate Ambition in Asia and the Pacific: Raising NDC targets with enhanced nature-based solutions conveys several recommendations for national policy and engagement and regional policies for the Asia-Pacific region for achieving 1.5°C pathway. The Special Feature on Engagement of Children and Youth in Raising National Climate Ambition shows that civil society, and especially young people, are leading the charge and are championing more urgency, faster action and greater ambition. It advocates that creating a seat at the table for all stakeholders, and in particular children and young people in the design, development and implementation of climate action policies, programmes, and decisions will facilitate implementing carbon neutrality and net-zero pledges.
