Nationally Determined Contributions: Tracking Countries' Progress towards Climate Goals

Overview

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) play a crucial role in the Paris Agreement, outlining countries' commitments to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. These contributions are essential for achieving the agreement's ambitious climate targets.

NDCs in the Paris Agreement

The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius, above pre-industrial levels. NDCs are pledges made by countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in line with this goal.

WRI's NDC Tracking

WRI (World Resources Institute) provides real-time tracking and analysis of NDCs through its NDC Explorer platform. The platform offers comprehensive information on countries' commitments, including emission reduction targets, timelines, and supporting policies.

Updated NDC Commitments

By early 2025, countries are expected to submit updated NDCs under the Paris Agreement. These revised commitments will reflect countries' progress towards achieving the agreement's goals and demonstrate their enhanced climate ambition.
