The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has released its Initial Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Synthesis Report.
The United Kingdom and the European Union are the only regions among 18 of the world’s biggest emitters that have significantly increased their greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Nationally determined contributions are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of the long-term goals of Paris Agreement.
NDCs embody efforts by each country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
