Key Developments in Nationally Determined Commitments (NDCs)
Countries have started to submit their nationally determined commitments (NDCs) ahead of the 2035 deadline, marking a significant step towards climate action. Notable commitments have been made by Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, with the UK being the first major developed nation to announce its NDC. This commitment aligns with scientific recommendations for an 81% reduction in emissions by 2035, which is expected to play a crucial role in the upcoming negotiations for COP30. Such initiatives are vital for maintaining momentum in climate negotiations and pushing other nations to also prioritize strong commitments.
