This page presents an overview of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted by countries under the Paris Agreement. An overview of a country’s NDC can be viewed by clicking the country on the map. The summary text appears in the panel on the left. Use the tabstoggle switch to view Annex 1 and Non-Annex 1 countries.

Overview of NDCs

Annex 1 Non-Annex 1

Fair share of RCB; 50% probability (GtCO2eq)

This is the fair share for each country of only the Remaining Carbon Budget (RCB) for limiting temperature rise to 1.5 ºC with a 50% probability. Values are given in GtCO2eq.

1.5°C
Fair share of RCB; 67% probability (GtCO2eq)

This is the fair share of each country of the Remaining Carbon Budget (RCB) for limiting temperature rise to 2.0 ºC with a 67% probability. Values are given in GtCO2eq.

2°C

The EU and its Member States

The EU and its Member States have also committed to an umbrella target of 55% reduction in GHGs by the year 2030 as compared to 1990. Emissions reduction targets under current EU legislation are divided between three categories:

  1. The sectors covered by the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS),
  2. Non-ETS sectors under the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR),
  3. Land-use related emissions and removals addressed by the regulation on emissions and removals from Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF).
  4. Non-ETS sectors concern emissions from sectors not included in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), such as transport, buildings, agriculture and waste sectors.
Abbreviations of GreenHouse Gases
  1. CO2: Carbon dioxide
  2. CH4: Methane
  3. N2O: Nitrous Oxide
  4. HFCs: Hydrofluorocarbons
  5. PFCs: Perfluorocarbons
  6. SF6: Sulphur hexafluoride
  7. NF3: Nitrogen trifluoride

Inequitable Remaining carbon budget share

An assessment of NDCs submitted to the UNFCCC indicates that Annex 1 countries will continue to appropriate an inequitably large share of the remaining carbon budget.

Annex 1 nations (18% of the global population) will exceed their Fair Share of the Remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C within the next decade!

Based on NDC submissions, the estimated cumulative CO2 emissions of Annex 1 countries from 2020 till Net-zero year declarations is… 210.52 GtCO2eq

Annex 1 nations alone (18% of the global population) will exhaust at least 40% of the Remaining carbon budget for 2°C by 2030!

The rest of the world has a disproportionately small share

of the remaining carbon budget!
