Missed the event?
45% of global GHG emissions are associated with product manufacturing. How can we ensure that climate strategies prioritise product longevity, sustainable consumption, and other circular approaches and so, reduce these emissions?
In its new Guidance on Increasing NDC Ambitions through Circular Action, PREVENT member and GIZ global programme ‘Go Circular’ explores this question. The paper outlines how practitioners and decision makers can identify and integrate Circular Economy measures into climate strategies. The Guidance includes 27 Circular Activity Sheets that directly translate Circular Economy measures into practical climate reporting. Through these and other elements, it complements the Toolbox on Building Circularity into NDCs, issued last year by UNEP, UNDP and the UNFCCC secretariat.
Get an exclusive look into the Guidance and watch the recording of the publication event, where GIZ introduced this vital tool and identified opportunities for its application together with other approaches.
Increasing NDC Ambitions Through Circular Action – Introducing the Go Circular Guidance
Agenda
- Presentation of the NDC Guidance and Activity Sheets – including next steps for its application
- Panel Discussion on the new GIZ Guidance, the Building Circularity into NDCs Toolbox, and their application for strengthening Circular Economy in NDCs, including a testimonial on the potential of enhancing circularity in Colombia’s NDCs

The “Guidance on Increasing NDC Ambitions through Circular Action” offers a practical guide on identifying and prioritising circular NDC measures and supports integrating existing approaches, such as the UN Toolbox on Building Circularity into NDCs. 27 activity sheets describe circular activities from a climate reporting perspective, helping with defining, tracking, and reporting circular climate impacts.
With many countries in the process of updating their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), integrating Circular Economy approaches can boost greenhouse gas mitigation and accelerate national climate efforts.
