A New Bottom-Up Approach: How PDCs Can Be Integrated into NDCs to Accelerate the Climate Transition
While countries have long experiences on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to set climate targets, the importance of individual actions should not be overlooked.
This webinar introduces the concept of Personally Determined Contributions (PDCs), developed by Nobel Laureate Rae Kwon Chung, to systematically account for personal climate actions.
Discussion Topics
- The PDC framework and its relationship to national climate goals
- Practical considerations: product carbon labeling, cost implications for consumers
- Financial mechanisms: dedicated funds for carbon-conscious spending
- Consumption-based approaches to measuring personal carbon footprints
