  5. ICAT Non-State Subnational Action Guide Executive Summary

The unprecedented challenge of climate change requires a concerted effort by national governments and a diverse range of non-state and subnational actors, such as states and cities, businesses and civil society.

The guide provides steps for users to identify, quantify and aggregate the impact of non-state and subnational actions, and integrate them into mitigation targets, projections and scenarios in support of policy development, policy evaluation and target setting.
The guide can also be used to assess the impact of non-state and subnational actions on specific policy targets, such as a national energy efficiency scheme, renewable energy targets or penetration of electric vehicles.

How can non-state and subnational actions enable new, more ambitious NDC mitigation targets to be set? 

The assessment guides have been used to support capacity-building for transparency in more than 20 countries.

Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited, an Indian investor, aims to reduce operational GHG emissions intensity by 10% per square metre of facility area from 2012 to 2020 through increased energy efficiency and solar energy installations.
