Keeping track of NDCs: what can the Global South’s energy sector expect at COP29?

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are the cornerstone of countries' climate action plans, outlining specific commitments on energy production and consumption. For Global South nations, where energy access and sustainability are paramount, NDCs offer a roadmap to transition to cleaner energy sources and enhance energy security. The Global South faces a unique dilemma: balancing economic growth with climate action. To address this, energy adaptation measures are essential, including robust policy frameworks, infrastructure development, capacity building, and technology transfer. The Global South is already grappling with climate change's impacts, so developed nations must take responsibility, providing financial support and technology to ensure an equitable energy transition.
