The NCCC plays key role in raising awareness and disseminating information on climate change issues, as well as assisting the development of national and local projects within this area.


Constituted of several bodies of the executive power, non-governmental organisations, universities and research institutes, and civil society organisations, the NCCC is directed by a president and a vice-president nominated by the Ministry of Environment. Meetings are convened upon request of the presidency and decisions are adopted by consensus.
