Angola: Nationally Determined Contribution 2021

This Nationally Determined Contribution recognises the country's vulnerability to climate change and therefore illustrates its commitment for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation of its territory and population to the adverse impacts of climate change, thus contributing to the achievement of the country’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and National Development Plan objectives. In compliance with the Paris Agreement, Angola reviewed its 2015 Intended Nationally Determined Contribution, presenting, for mitigation and adaptation purposes both unconditional and conditional measures: “unconditional contribution” is what Angola could implement based on its own resources and capabilities; “conditional contribution” is what the country would undertake if international means of support are provided. Undertaken measures cover the period 2020-2025 and aim at the following sectors: energy (including transport), agriculture, fisheries, forestry, industry, waste, coastal zone management, ecosystems and biodiversity, water resources, human health, infrastructures.
