Next year, all nations are required to submit new NDCs. These plans should be aligned with a 1.5°C pathway and cover all greenhouse gases and sectors – including energy, agriculture, land use and forestry, transport, industry and waste. Done well, these plans can serve as blueprints for stronger economies and societies – delivering more jobs, higher wages, economic growth, opportunity and stability, less pollution, healthier nature and so better human health. #ClimateAction
