Ten tests for countries' new climate plans that will make or break 1.5C

Over the next few months, countries will be releasing the next generation of climate plans known as National Determined Contributions (NDCs). 

NDCs are plans by signatory countries of the Paris Agreement that outline the actions they will take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, build resilience, and adapt to the impacts of the climate crisis.

Germanwatch and more than a dozen of other organisations call on leaders worldwide to show true climate leadership that ensures NDCs pave the way for a just and resilient transition.
