3. NDCs
Are required to:
• Represent a progression from previous
• Represent the highest possible ambition (and,
whenever required, be adjusted for that purpose)
• Include economy-wide emissions reduction
targets (for developed countries)
4. NDCs
• Move over time towards economy-wide
emissions reduction or limitation targets
(developing countries)
• Be communicated every five years
• Be informed by the outcomes of the global
stocktake
5. NDCs
• Be accounted for in order to promote
environmental
• Integrity, transparency; and
• Ensure accuracy, completeness, comparability
and
• Consistency, and avoid double counting.
6. Diversity - content, scope, form, coverage
• Mitigation
• Adaptation
• Financial support
• Technology transfer
• Capacity building
• Transparency
• Different metrics
• Economy wide or specific sectors
• Conditional and unconditional
7. Outside NDCs
• Raising ambition
• Moving towards economy wide targets
• Constant change- COP 25 transportation ministers
• Wide range of developed and developing country
capacities to implement
• Accurate, precise guidelines may impede universal
participation in the Agreement- ITMOs and article
6,accounting, EI
• Continuous improvement in methodologies and
processes, technology
8. Outside NDCs
• Flexibility mechanisms- not limited to LDCs
• “If circumstances allow”
• Dynamic Contribution Cycle- indicative NDC
• Action by sub-national and non-state actors
• Closing emissions gap 2030- adopting known and
cost effective technologies
• Capacity to implement- experiential learning
9. Accounting
• Transfer from outside the scope of an NDC
does not pose double counting issues as
mitigation outcome should only be counted in
the NDC of the acquiring country if transferred
outside national boundaries
• Becomes double counting if host party in next
round of NDCs includes the sector.
• Corresponding adjustments applied
• Attracting private sector investment- certainty
of NDC
