Nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement as applied to fisheries

NDCs are central to achieving the Paris Agreement’s long-term goal of limiting global temperature rise this century to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. NDCs present best endeavour commitments of individual countries to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. Contributions are voluntary and flexible in nature and subject to continuous improvement and monitoring through subsequent submissions and the global stocktake exercise (UNFCCC, 2023).
