It implies that good practices provide information backed by available scientific evidence in open access repositories for governmental institutions, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, academic entities and intercultural citizens.

Good practices should propose replicable models within and outside the national territory that generate references for a regional scope.

Good practices should propose lines of action for climate change mitigation and adaptation, risk management, environmental education and training, and inclusive economic growth through comprehensive projects and programs.

It refers to the construction of links between the instruments that form part of the macro-regime and the countries' policies (national strategies) to promote mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Good practices should promote the participation of different social actors (government institutions, private sector, non-governmental organizations, academic entities and intercultural citizens) as strategic partners in the processes of design, implementation and evaluation of the NDCs.

Good practices should be designed, implemented, monitored and evaluated from a social justice and human rights perspective, incorporating a gender and intercultural perspective, with the involvement of the most vulnerable groups and youth.

It refers to the construction of spaces for action and dialogue between the different institutions that form the government sector to design, implement, monitor, evaluate and lead policies, plans, programs and strategies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change, reaffirming its commitment to the fulfilment of the NDCs as a national goal.

Good practices must be sustainable in three aspects: 1) environmental, by incorporating nature-based solutions, which implies actions that promote the conservation of ecosystems and environmental services; 2) social, by promoting social and economic development; 3) economic, by contemplating strategies and/or mechanisms for financial stability and the search for multi-sector sources of financing.

Good practices for NDCs strengthen resilience in the face of emergencies and disasters associated with climate hazards. They foresee diverse risk scenarios to reduce their impacts on NDC implementation with an emphasis on adaptation, especially in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and developing countries, through technological innovation, team building and financial sustainability.

Good practices for NDCs require working teams with technical and leadership skills that are involved in the process of developing, monitoring and updating NDCs to facilitate medium- and long-term compliance, in pursuit of sustainable climate action.

Good practices should propose actions that can be monitored, verified and reported through monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to identify areas of opportunity and improvement. It should be noted that the monitoring and frequency of reporting results is a fundamental element for documenting the processes involved in good practices for climate change adaptation and mitigation, within the framework of the NDCs and climate action.

Good practices for NDCs provide opportunities for dialogue for international cooperation to join efforts focused on financial, technical and capacity building support to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and developing countries to meet their NDCs to achieve regional objectives.
