This white paper provides an analysis of the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) for 37 partner countries in the U.S. Government's Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies (EC-LEDS) program and other designated priority countries. The white paper includes an overview of global INDCs, country profiles for countries, regional trends, and sectoral trends. Moreover, each country profile includes information from the INDC on the:
- Unconditional and conditional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets,
- Analytical basis for developing the emissions reduction targets,
- Mitigation actions being undertaken by the country,
- Adaptation strategies,
- Existing policy framework of the country’s INDC, and
- Financial and technical assistance required.
The country profiles also include insights on data quality and transparency, the most recently submitted GHG inventory to the UNFCCC, national GHG emissions by sector, and key documents for further consultation. In addition, the white paper presents a summary of total pledges, and regional and sectoral trend analyses for a deeper understanding of the broader implications of the INDCs.
