Infographics PBL NDC Tool March 2024

The dataset of the emissions projections of the NDCs and current policies for the PBL Climate Pledge NDC tool: https://themasites.pbl.nl/o/climate-ndc-policies-tool/

The PBL Climate Pledge NDC tool addresses the following three key questions:

1.    What are the countries’ emissions projections for the NDCs for 2030?

2.    Will the projected aggregated impact of the fully implemented NDCs on global emissions, for 2030, be sufficient to achieve the target of staying well below 2 °C / 1.5 ^oC?

3.    Are countries on track to meet their original NDCs for the period up to 2030?

To address these questions, the tool shows the projected impact of the emission reduction proposals (NDCs) and current policies, per country and globally, on greenhouse gas emissions up to 2030. This tool analyses the mitigation components of the NDCs of 144 of the 197 Parties (together representing about 95% of emissions in 2019). More specifically, the tool shows the effect of:

• Pledges: national and global greenhouse gas emission projections for 2020, assuming that pledges will be fully achieved;
• Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs): national and global greenhouse gas emission projections for 2030, assuming that NDCs will be fully achieved;
• Current policies: the impact of national climate and energy policies on emission levels up to 2030 (at least, unless the policy specifies a later end date), for 25 major emitting countries and regions.
