NAZCA EVOLUTION – PLANS (1)
NAZCA needs to be revised to make it fit-for-purpose for tracking impact:
Analyse, aggregate and visualize the data by constituencies and sectors to look for tangible evidence of the acceleration of climate action;
Enhance the tracking of progress and delivery of results
Publish further info to track progress for actors and initiatives;
Evolve from tracking commitments to enable the recognition and differentiation of an actor’s, initiative’s and/or sector’s ambition and performance

Diversify the types of commitments/action (adaptation/resilience and finance);
Focus on developing countries and regions that are currently not represented (working with existing data partners and exploring new partnerships);
Engage in pro-active communication and outreach activities
