Sectoral implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) – Energy efficiency with a focus on buildings

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) has published a series of briefing papers dealing with the sectoral implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs). The eight different briefing have been complied by the GIZ Climate Policy Support Programme, which supports developing countries in their efforts in climate change adaptation and mitigation, and focus each on a different sector: the finance, transparency, energy supply, energy sufficiency, transport, agriculture, and forestry and land-use sectors are covered.

This briefing deals with the integration of energy efficiency into NDCs. Since the building sector is not covered in any of the other briefings of the series, it is singled out for specific analysis.
