This document sets the government and its partners' priorities over the period 2021-2023. It notably calls for a financing of renewable energy capacity, and carbon-curbing measures.

  • Considering all sectors (including FOLU), emissions for the NDC scenario (with mitigation measures) increase from 10,139 kt CO2e in 2016 to 11,978 kt CO2e in 2030, which represents an increase of +18.1%. The difference, in 2030, with the BAU scenario, is -3,170 kt CO2e, which represents a mitigation impact of -20.9%. Overall, the mitigation actions accounted in the NDC scenario could help avoid, in total during the period 2021-2030, 16,828 kt CO2e compared to the BAU scenario.Economy-wide | Target year: 2030
  • Reduce CO2 emissions compared to the baseline scenario in the period of 2016 and 2030 by 11.5%, which means 708 kT carbon-dioxide emission reduction in 2030.Economy-wide: Economy Wide | Target year: 2030
