The RCCs support national climate action through capacity-building, technical assistance and strategic networking – sourcing know-how and resources to drive clean development.

The RCCs were established to spread the benefits of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which spurs investment in sustainable development by rewarding projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in December 2015, the RCCs have the broad task of supporting the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions, Article 6, Adaptation, Climate Finance, Stakeholder engagement and more.
