Energy is one of the most popular sectors in which the NDC Partnership receives support requests from
countries. For example, of the support requests received through the Climate Action Enhancement
Package, or CAEP, 209 (17%) are in the energy category, whereas only 150 (12%) and 79 (6.5%) requests
are categorized as agriculture and transport, respectively. A more thorough understanding of the nature
of energy-related requests will strengthen the NDC Partnership’s support for countries with energybased needs.
This report is based on an analysis of the CAEP requests to the Partnership and provides an overview of:
- The types of technical assistance countries are requesting from support initiatives within the
energy sector. - The types of activities and key topics featured in energy requests, including cross-sectoral
requests, e.g., buildings, transport, industry, waste, water and tourism. - Trends, gaps and their drivers.
- Recommendations for the NDC Partnership to better anticipate and respond to energy-related
requests.
