Process for Developing NDC
For Nicaragua’s Updated NDC, there was a broad range of communication with vulnerable sectors. There was also expanded dialogue with indigenous peoples, women, and young people nationwide.
Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism
The recent submission details progress on implementing the original NDC but does not mention specific policies that will help achieve the update. Nevertheless, the updated NDC commits to implementation that upholds the following general principles: Focus on sustainable development, complementarity with disaster risk management, innovation and efficient resource use, an exosystemic approach, gender equity, citizen participation, climate finance, viability of measures, and the recognition of native peoples and indigenous communities.
Summary of Gender Reference
There is a section on gender equity in the Nicaragua’s Updated NDC. Within it, Nicaragua emphasizes that women are protagonists in all economic sectors of the country. Because of this, activities related to climate change mitigation and adaptation measures shall incorporate all rights laid out in national legal instruments concerning gender equity, such as Law No. 648, which establishes six environmental guidelines to help incorporate a cross-cutting gender approach into the country’s environmental policies.
