Namibia’s nationally determined contribution

Nambia's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) outlines the country's targets to limit greenhouse gas emissions, target areas for the implementation of the global goal of adaptation to climate change, voluntary support for developing countries to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, and information on the implemented climate policies. In line with Article 4 of the Paris Agreement (PA) and Decision 1/CP.21 of the UNFCCC, Namibia submitted a revised version of its First NDC in July 2021 which inadvertently did not include information to facilitate clarity, transparency and understanding (ICTU) to be in line with Decision 4/CMA.1 and the major updates in its GHG inventory. 

Namibia made good of these shortcomings in this updated version, referred to as First NDC second update which covers the period 2021 to 2030, to inform the global stock take more accurately on its efforts to implement the Convention. The urgent adaptation actions to enable the country to build its resilience and meet the sustainable development goals within its low emissions development strategy have also been included.
