Mali's revised NDC aims for a 40% total reduction in net GHG emissions by 2030 compared to a business-as-usual scenario. The plan covers four sectors: energy, agriculture, forestry/land-use change, and waste, with specific reduction targets for each. It emphasizes a transition to a low-carbon economy through renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and intensive reforestation (REDD+). Adaptation is a priority, focusing on green economy resilience, water management (GIRE), and gender-sensitive policies. The total cost for mitigation is estimated at $4.344 billion, while adaptation is valued at $8 billion.

• Mali aims for a total net reduction of 40% in greenhouse gas emissions and sequestrations by 2030. This is achieved through sector-specific reduction targets relative to a business-as-usual scenario: 31% for energy, 25% for agriculture, 39% for forests and land-use change, and 31% for waste.
• The energy sector is a major emitter, with CO2 representing 83% of its emissions. Mitigation strategies include increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix through photovoltaic plants and improving energy efficiency, with a projected cost of 1,518 billion FCFA ($3.036 billion) for 2020-2030.
• Agriculture and livestock are critical sectors, with agriculture accounting for 69% and livestock 31% of the sector's total gas production. Mitigation focuses on the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), organic fertilizer use, and reducing urea use, with a total sector cost of $315.6 million.
• Mali maintains its status as a carbon sink, primarily through its forestry sector. The revised NDC implements a REDD+ strategy targeting 1,540,000 hectares by 2030, including 200,000 ha of Acacia Senegal and other non-timber forest products, 340,000 ha of reforestation, and 1,000,000 ha of managed natural forests. The cost for forestry mitigation is $709 million.
• Waste management is now included as a fourth sector in the NDC. The goal is to reduce emissions by 31% by 2030 through projects like the Noumoubougou waste-to-energy plant and plastic recycling in Bamako, with an estimated cost of $283.2 million.
• Adaptation is a central priority with a total estimated cost of $8 billion. Key initiatives include the Integrated Water Resources Management (GIRE) framework, the National Adaptation Plan (PNA), and the restoration of 325,000 hectares of degraded ecosystems.
• The NDC explicitly integrates gender perspectives, recognizing that women are essential agents for climate action but are disproportionately affected by climate impacts. The plan calls for gender-sensitive budgeting and the inclusion of women in leadership roles and green jobs.
• Mali is addressing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), such as black carbon and methane. Implementing 15 specific mitigation measures is projected to reduce black carbon emissions by 42%, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 45%, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 21% by 2030.
