As part of efforts to keep global emissions within the range of 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has mandated all member countries to submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by 2025.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 28th Conference of Parties (COP28) happening in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the agency’s boss, Simon Stiell,said, “And let this be your first official notice that early in 2025, countries must deliver new Nationally Determined Contributions. Please start working on them now.”
NDCs are documents that contain efforts by countries to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. It is at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of its long-term goals.
