CDN 3.0 du Bénin

Benin's NDC 3.0 (2026-2035) aims to reduce cumulative greenhouse gas emissions (excluding the forestry sector) by 32.8% compared to a business-as-usual scenario, a significant increase from the 20.15% target in NDC 2.0. The plan includes 32 mitigation measures implemented through 180 projects, with the energy sector being the most prominent. Adaptation is a central pillar, focusing on eight key sectors, including agriculture, water resources, and health, to address high vulnerability and a low readiness score of 0.342. The total funding requirement for the 2026-2035 period is estimated at 14.488 billion USD, with 9.266 billion USD for conditional actions.

• Benin's total greenhouse gas emissions (excluding forestry) were 24.54 Mt E-CO2 in 2023, representing approximately 1.95 tonnes E-CO2 per capita, which is a 30% increase from 2018 levels.
• The 2023 emissions profile (excluding forestry) is dominated by agriculture (38.44%) and energy (36.86%), followed by industrial processes (22.84%) and waste (1.86%).
• For the 2026-2035 period, Benin targets a 32.8% reduction in cumulative GHG emissions (excluding forestry) relative to the reference scenario, which is an increase in ambition from the 20.15% target set in NDC 2.0.
• The mitigation strategy consists of 32 measures implemented via 180 projects, of which 120 are conditional. The energy sector is the primary focus, containing 22 measures and 70 projects.
• Benin's climate readiness score was 0.342 in 2023, ranking the country 131st globally, which drives the adaptation priorities of NDC 3.0 across eight key sectors.
• Agricultural adaptation priorities include developing technical itineraries adapted to new climate constraints, promoting sustainable practices like mulching, and strengthening agropastoral integrated systems.
• The coastal region, covering 30 of 77 communes and housing 60% of the population, faces shoreline retreat of 12 to 30 meters per year due to climate hazards.
• Climate change significantly impacts public health in Benin; four of the top ten causes of death—malaria, malnutrition, acute respiratory infections, and cardiovascular diseases—are directly climate-linked.
• The total financial requirement for implementing NDC 3.0 from 2026 to 2035 is approximately 14.488 billion USD, comprising 9.939 billion USD for mitigation and 4.549 billion USD for adaptation.
• Conditional actions account for 9.266 billion USD of the total funding needs, with 7.293 billion USD specifically for mitigation.
