The National Environment Commission (NEC) functions as the high-level National Climate Change Committee (NCCC). The NCCC is supported in implementing its mandates and functions through the NEC Secretariat. In supporting the NEC/NCCC, the NEC Secretariat leads the preparation of national strategies and plans on climate change, such as nationally determined contributions, NAPs, and Low Emission Development Strategies (Department of Environment and Climate Change, 2023, p. 5).
