INDC

Despite the difficult challenges, the Government of Iraq has laid out an economy-wide plan to reduce GHGs emission by around 14% from the Business As Usual (BAU) scenario over the period 2020 until 2035. The graph in the document below illustrates that the INDC of Iraq presents two conditional scenarios for that aforementioned emission reduction plan; 

First, a reduction of 1% of economy-wide emissions up to 2035 via national capabilities, on the condition that peace and security is achieved inside the country to enable the sustainable development in all national sectors.

Belize's INDC focuses on mitigation contribution framed on an action-based approach that is dependent on cost effective technology, capacity building and adequate financial support, addressing the sectors with significant contributions to Belize’s greenhouse gas emissions. Belize intends to provide information on adaptation at a later stage.

Réduction inconditionnelle de 18,2% des émissions du pays par rapport au scénario de référence à l’horizon 2030, soit environ 41 700 GgCO2e. Réduction conditionnelle de 71% des émissions du pays à l’horizon 2030, soit une réduction cumulée de 162 000 GgCO2e. Unconditional emissions reduction of 18.2% compared to the baseline in 2030, or about 41,700 GgCO2e. Conditional emissions reduction of 71% in 2030, or a cumulative reduction of 162,000 GgCO2e.

Ghana's emission reduction goal is to unconditionally lower its GHG emissions by 15 percent relative to a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario emission of 73.95MtCO2e by 2030. An additional 30 percent emission reduction is attainable on condition that external support is made available to Ghana to cover the full cost of implementing the mitigation action (finance, technology transfer, capacity building). With this external support, a total emission reduction of 45% below the BAU emission levels can be achieved by 2030.

New Zealand commits to reduce GHG emissions to 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. (This responsibility target corresponds to a reduction of 11% from 1990 levels.) New Zealand’s INDC will remain provisional pending confirmation of the approaches to be taken in accounting for the land sector, and confirmation of access to carbon markets.

In 2030, Madagascar aims to reduce approximately 30 MtCO2 of its emissions of GHG, representing 14% of national emissions, compared to the BAU scenario, with projections based of GHG inventory from year 2000 to 2010. This reduction is additive to the absorptions increase of the LULUCF sector, which estimated at 61 MtCO2 in 2030. Total increase in GHG absorption is expected at 32%, compared to the BAU scenario.

Unconditional contribution In the event an ambitious, comprehensive legally binding global agreement is reached at COP21 in Paris, Nigeria will make an unconditional contribution of 20 per cent below BAU that is consistent with the current development trends and government policy priorities. The policies and measures that will deliver these savings are cost-effective, even at the currenthigh interest rate, which constrains investment.

Jordan nationally determines to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by a bulk of 14 % until 2030. This contribution of GHGs reduction will be unconditionally fulfilled at, maximally, 1.5 % by the Country’s own means compared to a business as usual scenario level. However, Jordan, conditionally and subject to availability of international financial aid and support to means of implementation, commits to reduce its GHGs emissions by additional, at least, 12.5 % by 2030.

Saint Lucia communicated mitigation targets of 23% reduction against BAU emission projections in 2030, with intermediate target of 16% reduction against BAU in 2025.The mitigation targets of this iNDC are set against a Business As Usual (BAU) projection and consider emissions reductions from the Energy Demand, Electricity Generation and Transportation sectors.The INDC also includes a section on adaptation.

Georgia plans to unconditionally reduce its GHG emissions by 15% below the Business as usual scenario (BAU) for the year 2030. This is equal to reduction in emission intensity per unit of GDP by approximately 34% from 2013 to 2030. Conditional Target: The 15% reduction target will be increased up to 25% in a conditional manner, subject to a global agreement addressing the importance of technical cooperation, access to low-cost financial resources and technology transfer. This is equal to reduction of emission intensity per unit of GDP by approximately 43% from 2013 to 2030.
