Determining Impacts of NDC Enhancement on Country-Level Emissions

The document outlines a technical approach to determine the extent of NDC enhancement by comparing estimated target-year greenhouse gas emissions under a Party's previous NDC against those under its subsequent NDC. The method covers both NDCs with explicit GHG reduction targets and those based on non-GHG targets and policies.

• The methodology determines NDC enhancement by estimating a Party's target-year greenhouse gas emissions under its previous NDC (usually the First NDC) and comparing them to emissions under its subsequent NDC (typically an Updated First or Second NDC).
• The approach is designed to identify if a subsequent NDC reduces emissions relative to the previous one and, when possible, quantify that reduction, applying to both GHG-specific targets and non-GHG targets and policies.
