Global NDC Implementation Partners (GNIplus)
Combining the strengths of three world-leading organizations – Climate Policy Initiative, AECOM, and Pollination – GNIplus provides governments with the best available policy, technical, financial, governance, and legal expertise to support the implementation of their NDCs.

By delivering practical, concrete actions in multiple geographies, GNIplus: reforms legal, policy, financial, institutional, and governance frameworks; stress-tests the designs of infrastructure projects; and develops financial tools and instruments to de-risk investment and mobilize private finance at scale. GNIplus maximizes impact by building on its partners existing collaborations with governments, multilateral agencies, and private investors to facilitate climate action by enhancing current national strategies and initiatives.
