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;
Tuvalu commits to reduction of emissions of green-house gases from the electricity generation (power) sector, by 100%, ie almost zero emissions by 2025. Tuvalu’s indicative quantified economy-wide target for a reduction in total emissions of GHGs from the entire energy sector to 60% below 2010 levels by 2025. These emissions will be further reduced from the other key sectors, agriculture and waste, conditional upon the necessary technology and finance.
Gambia communicated an Activity/Sector based commitment, including unconditional mitigation actions in afforestation and renewable energy, and conditonal reductions in agriculture, energy, transport and waste sectors. With individual baselines developed for each sector, excluding LULUCF and for Low Emissions Scenario, overall emissions will be reduced by about 44.4% in 2025 and 45.4% in 2030. The INDC also includes a section on Adaptation.
The Republic of Colombia commits to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% with respect to the projected Business-as-Usual Scenario (BAU) by 2030.Subject to the provision of international support, Colombia could increase its ambition from 20% reduction with respect to BAU to 30% with respect to BAU by 2030.The INDC also inlucdes a section on adaptation.
Argentina’s goal is to reduce GHG emissions by 15% in 2030 with respect to projected BAU emissions for that year. The goal includes, inter alia, actions linked to: the promotion of sustainable forest management, energy efficiency, biofuels, nuclear power, renewable energy, and transport modal shift.
Unconditional contribution: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 3% compared to the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario for 2030 Conditional contribution: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, beginning in 2016, compared to the business-as-usual scenario for 2030 The INDC also includes a section on Adaptation contribution.
The Central African Republic aspires to reduce its emissions by 5% and 25%, respectively, in the 2030 and 2050 horizons in comparison to its reference BaU emissions and to increase its sequestration potential. With international support, it will emit around 33,076.1 kt eq-CO2 less in 2050 than the annual reference emissions.The Central African Republic also aspires to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP), which science has shown have a significant short-term climate-warming potential and harmful effects on health, agriculture and ecosystems.
South Sudan aims to undertake the policies and actions in following sectors: energy generation and use Land Use and Land use Change and Transport, to address its future emissions that are likely to result from growth strategies. These efforts are contingent on availability of technical assistance to develop the necessary regulations, policies, and standards as well as financial support for investing in low carbon options.
The Government of Malawi communicated mitigation and adaptation actions in its INDC, some of which will be implemented unconditionally using domestic sources and some of which are conditional on external support in terms of capacity building, techonology development and transfer, and financial resources.
Armenia has stated that its total aggregate emissions between 2015 and 2050 will be equal to 633 million tons carbon dioxide equivalent, and that the country will strive to achieve ecosystem neutral GHG emissions in 2050 (equivalent to 2.07 tons/per capita per annum) with the support of adequate (necessary and sufficient) international financial, technological and capacity building assistance.
