Multi-stakeholder consultations, trainings & peer-exchanges for ambitious climate action
The NDC ACTION project co-organises multi-stakeholder consultations as part of the quantitative phase of Morocco’s LT-LEDS process to raise awareness and help ensure policy ownership among sub-national and non-state actors through a participatory and inclusive development process. Consultations including the sectoral decarbonization meetings target a wider audience of stakeholders to elaborate and discuss the Long-term Strategy (LT-LEDS) development process incl. preliminary deliverables and results.
In addition, project activities support the development of a roadmap for the implementation of the LT-LEDS, which incorporates contributions received from the LT-LEDS steering committee members as well as those gathered through the above-mentioned stakeholder consultations. The roadmap will equally be informed by the recommendations to be provided under Output 2.
Moreover, NDC ACTION seeks to raise capacities of key state actors for steering LT-LEDS and NDC development/revision and implementation. To this end, technical training workshops tailored to the beneficiaries' support needs are developed and implemented. The first capacity building workshop, jointly organised with the Department of Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Energy and Sustainable Development and the NDC Partnership, was delivered in Q4 2021 to the benefit of the members of the National Commission of Climate Change and Biodiversity. Its focus lied on NDC cost-benefit analysis and NDC costing. Upcoming trainings are expected to address capacity needs related to the LT-LEDS process.
Through peer-to-peer learnings, the project helps its Moroccan partners to share their experiences and best practices with other countries, and to benefit from lessons learnt elsewhere, in order to strengthen the foundation for even stronger future climate ambition. Lastly, NDC ACTION also supports the government to identify and share national lessons learnt ahead of the UNFCCC Global Stocktake.
The national project work plan is currently being developed under the guidance of the Department of Sustainable Development. Depending on concrete support needs and the availability of funds, project activities may be added or modified.
