The webinar focused on the critical role of NDC 3.0 in raising climate ambitions across the Asia-Pacific region and how ADB supports developing member countries (DMCs) in achieving these climate actions. NDC 3.0 represents the next iteration of nationally determined contributions, emphasizing enhanced ambition and implementability, as countries prepare their updates for 2025 in alignment with the Paris Agreement goals. 

The program covered five major topics: carbon pricing and carbon finance, climate and disaster resilience, climate finance, disaster and emergency assistance, and alignment with the Paris Agreement.

In celebration of the 2024 Resilience Learning Month, the Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management divisions of the Climate Change, Resilience, and Environment cluster (CCRE) under the Climate Change and Sustainable Development Department (CCSD), in partnership with the Culture and Talent Division of the Budget, Personnel, and Management Systems Department (BPMSD), hosted a series of virtual and in-person learning events.
