The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), supported by funding from the Partnership Action Fund (PAF), has played a pivotal role in the implementation of the Dominican Republic''s NDC 2022-2025 Action Plan. The GGGI spearheaded efforts to raise awareness and empower stakeholders at the national level, including facilitating the transfer of the NDC Action Plan to the Online Partnership Plan Tool (OPPT).
Between November 2022 - March 2024, the GGGI provided invaluable support to the CNCCMDL and MEPyD through senior advisory assistance for national adaptation and mitigation strategies. This collaborative effort involved monitoring and evaluating the NDC Action Plan, which, by the end of 2023, revealed financial commitments of around USD8.2 million across both mitigation and adaptation components.
Through GGGI support, significant progress has been made in advancing the Dominican Republic''s overall climate commitments. The alignment of the NDC Action Plan with national development priorities underscores the country''s dedication to integrating climate action into national policy considerations. On 5 March in Santo Domingo, the project''s concluding high-level event convened over one hundred stakeholders, including national ministries, civil society and development partners, to share progress on the implementation of the country''s Partnership Plan.
Speaking at the event, Domingo Matías, Minister of Territorial Planning and Regional Development at the MEPyD, reiterated the ministry''s commitment to integrating climate considerations into national development frameworks, highlighting ongoing efforts to incorporate indicators for disaster risk management and sustainable land use.
"The DR has fully complied with its climate commitments, assuming with high responsibility the updating of the NDC, its action plan and the effective articulation with all the actors involved - all of which has translated into the early achievement of the goals we set for 2030," noted Max Puig, Executive Vice President at the CNCCMDL.
The NDC Partnership Support Unit attended the event, using the opportunity to meet with government Focal Points and local partners to evaluate the next steps and opportunities for support through the Partnership, including the hiring of an in-country NDC facilitator and updates pertaining to the Adaptation Pipeline Accelerator initiative.
"Building on a strong relationship since 2018, we are pleased to announce that currently, through the Partnership''s Global Call for NDCs 3.0 & LT-LEDS, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) will be supporting the Dominican Republic''s NDC 2025 update process," remarked Melissa Capcha, representing the NDC Partnership Support Unit.
The NDC Partnership''s current Global Call for NDCs 3.0 & LT-LEDS provides dedicated resources and expertise for country members to align, update and enhance NDCs and/or LT-LEDS by 2025 in line with the Paris Agreement.

Santo Domingo.- Starting from this Tuesday, the Dominican Republic will host the 3rd Meeting of the Transition Committee for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This gathering serves as a platform for discussions and assessments aimed at creating a dedicated fund to aid developing countries in dealing with climate change-induced disasters.
The concept of establishing a fund to assist particularly vulnerable nations in managing losses and damages linked to climate change was established during the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP 27). Representing the Dominican Government in these technical sessions is Milagros De Camps, the Vice Minister of Climate Change and Sustainability within the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.
De Camps elaborated that within this meeting, which stands as the second-to-last gathering preceding COP28 in Dubai, tangible outcomes need to be achieved. The focus is on fostering solidarity among nations and addressing the vulnerabilities of those most exposed to the impacts of climate change — the very recipients for whom this fund has been conceived and structured.
“Countries like ours, small island developing states, are already grappling with the adverse effects of climate change that we didn’t cause. These effects are constraining our capacity for sustainable development and our endeavors to alleviate poverty within our nations,” emphasized De Camps.
The assembly boasts participation from 88 official representatives of CMNUCC member countries, along with observers from non-governmental organizations and civil society. In addition to Vice Minister De Camps, the opening ceremony was led by Richard Sherman and Outi Honkatukia, co-chairs of the transitional committee, Daniel Violetti from the CMNUCC Secretariat and Director of Convention Implementation Media, and Deputy Minister of Foreign Policy, Rubén Silié.
The Transition Committee comprises 24 members from Parties to the Convention and the Paris Agreement, with 10 representing developed countries and 14 representing developing countries. Apart from the Dominican Republic, other committee members include Egypt, South Africa, Sudan, Zambia, UAE, India, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, China, South Korea, Pakistan, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, UK, Japan, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Canada, Finland, Australia, France, USA, Armenia, Bhutan, Norway, East Timor, and Maldives.
By hosting this summit, the Dominican Republic showcases its commitment to climate agreements and highlights its own vulnerability due to its status as a developing island nation. The sessions will also explore potential funding sources, acknowledging the need for support from a variety of avenues, including innovative ones. Discussions will also address the current landscape of institutions, both global and regional, that fund activities related to addressing losses and damages. The focus is on improving coherence, coordination, and synergy among these efforts.
