Nationally Determined Contributions

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are commitments made by each country under the Paris Agreement to outline how they plan to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. These plans reflect a country's specific actions, targets, and policies based on their national circumstances, resources, and capacities. NDCs are voluntary but serve as a framework for international cooperation, encouraging countries to set ambitious goals to limit global temperature rise and promote sustainability. Essentially, they are each nation's roadmap for contributing to global climate mitigation and resilience efforts.
