After Paris: What is next for Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs)?

This brief paper outlines at a high level what the Paris Agreement means for INDCs, and what needs to happen at the country level now and in the longer term to implement the Agreement. The paper focuses explicitly on the mitigation part of national contributions and discusses specific steps, including several with a specific finance or institutional aspect. It is useful as a simple guide to what needs to happen next, setting the broader context for the development of approaches to financing LEDS and NDCs.
