Analysis of Original NDC

Timeframe 

1 January 2021-31 December 2030

Relevant context 

Norway, though not an EU member state, is preparing for collective delivery of the 40% emissions reductions commitment.  The 28 Member States of the European Union submitted an NDC on behalf of Latvia and the European Commission. They are committed to the agreement from the Paris Conference in December 2015 in line with the below 2°C objective. The main sectors under coverage for the EU’s NDC are energy, industrial processes and product use, agriculture, waste, and, land use, land-use change and forestry (set out in Decision 529/2013/EU).

Process for developing NDC 

The EU NDC has been prepared through consultation and dialogue with the Government’s Advisory and Technical Committees, which include a range of stakeholders including line ministries, Planning Commission, technical departments, professionals, experts, and the private sector.

The EU and its Member States note a commitment to a binding target of an at least 40% domestic reduction in GHGs by 2030 compared to 1990, to be fulfilled jointly, as set out in the conclusions by the European Council of October 2014.

Policy on how to include Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry into the 2030 greenhouse gas mitigation framework will be established as soon as technical conditions allow and in any case before 2020.

Type and coverage: Coverage Economy-wide absolute reduction from base year (1990) emissions
