Nationally determined contribution of Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan’s revised nationally determined contribution (NDC) commits to an unconditional 20% reduction in emissions by 2030, compared to 2010 levels, under a business-as-usual scenario. The main sectors where the country plans to reduce emissions are energy, transportation, agriculture, industrial processes and product use, and waste. To reach these targets, Turkmenistan will use its own financial resources, but requires international technical support to develop legislation and regulations and implement actions to reduce emissions. 

Adaptation priorities are also covered in the revised NDC, with a focus on health, agriculture, water, soil and land, forestry, and ecosystems. The country plans to develop a unified methodology for assessing climate risks and developing adaptation plans at different levels.
