New urban centres include modern high-rise buildings with glass facades; the antithesis of thermal massing. These towers feature inoperable windows and create significant energy demand to power air conditioning systems.15 Conditional NDC actions As identified in the NDC Partnership Plan, international funding is needed to develop an NDC implementation action plan(s) to address the two adaptation actions identified in the State of Palestine’s First NDCs, which remain relevant. Conditional NDC actions a) Promoting green buildings b) Rehabilitation of resilient road infrastructure.

Conditional NDC actions a) Promoting green buildings b) Rehabilitation of resilient road infrastructure. 6.1 Mitigation contribution Palestine is committed to ensuring that its emissions pathway is in line with the global objective of the UNFCCC and Article 2.1(a) of the Paris Agreement to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C. Palestine’s approach is to prioritise high-emitting sectors such as, power generation, transport, and waste. A new mitigation analysis has been carried out to produce the mitigation chapter of Palestine’s First BUR,16 which informs the Updated NDCs. This new analysis clearly highlights the State 15 State of Palestine Environment Quality Authority (2016). National Adaptation Plan p. 39.

Country: Qatar
Document: Updated NDC

The State of Qatar has undertaken/planned several projects to enhance the overall infrastructure in the country with a strong focus on sustainability. Besides the sustainable stadiums being developed for the FIFA World Cup 2022, several other projects such as the Qatar integrated rail project, expressway program, roads and drainage program, development of sustainable residential complexes (Lusail city, Msheireb downtown), development of parking bays, inter alia hold key to Qatar’s plans of sustainable infrastructure development. c) Awareness Raising awareness is important for the creation of a shared understanding which is required to effectively rally resources and stakeholders for joint problem-solving. Traditional methods such as media campaigns will be used to spark attention and broad engagement initiatives will be applied to anchor the topic of climate change deeper in society.
