To ensure that the NDC is realistic and achievable, its
preparation was fundamentally based on the linkage
between climate action and national development
priorities, including social and economic development
and poverty eradication. Integration of the NDC into
country strategies, long-term economic and social
development plans, sectoral plans, and local plans is
essential to secure successful implementation and
contribution.
