Updated Zambian NDC has No Increased Mitigation Ambition

Zambia on Monday published its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) document under the Paris Agreement. However, this new NDC text does not appear to have ratcheted up mitigation ambition over the prior one. As in its updated first NDC from 2021, Zambia has set the target of a 25% unconditional and 47% conditional reduction in GHG emissions below 2010 levels by 2030, versus a business-as-usual baseline.
