This guide incorporates the relationship between NDCs and NAMAs by suggesting that the latter become an implementation concept for the former. The Paris Agreement, through NDCs, provides a more tangible framework and a clearer structure upon which NAMA development can succeed; the NAMA Guide, however, does not attempt to prescribe a linear path for NAMA development. This process may still be iterative, encompassing and capitalizing on learning from past experience and involving a wide range of stakeholders at the national level, while adapting or establishing policy frameworks that include the necessary means for establishing the institutional, financial and monitoring components that go into solid NAMAs.
