Global NDC status

The Paris Agreement requires all Parties to set out mitigation and adaptation plans in a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) document submitted to UNFCCC. Every five years, nations are required to submit a revised NDC in which progress towards achieving the purpose of the Agreement must be reported. To get an overview of the how the world’s nations are planning to adapt and to determine the role of Nature-based Solutions, we conducted an in-depth textual analysis of the adaptation components of all 168 NDCs submitted by Parties to the Paris Agreement.  Our analysis is limited to the current NDCs (including the 123 that were updated by Dec 2021).

NDC status vs nations

What is the current status of NDC submissions?

The Paris Agreement has 197 Parties: 195 signatories plus Syria and Nicaragua (which joined after the deadline for formal signing had passed). Of these Parties, 195 submitted a first NDC in 2016 (Libya and Nicaragua did not), including one NDC submitted for the European Union on behalf of all member states. This meant a total of 168 NDCs available for analysis (167 from Parties plus one from Taiwan). Parties were asked to submit an updated version of their NDCs by the end of 2020 and, as of December 2021, there were 123 revised NDCs available for analysis, including the EU submission and a separate, additional submission from France.
