Communication of first NDCs
|
|
By its decision 1/CP.21, paragraph 22, the Conference of the Parties (COP) invited Parties to
communicate their first NDC no later than when the Party submits its respective instrument of
ratification, acceptance, approval or accession of the Paris Agreement. In the same paragraph, the
COP further stated that if a Party has communicated an INDC prior to joining the Agreement, that
Party shall be considered to have satisfied the provision of decision 1/CP.21, paragraph 22, unless
that Party decides otherwise.
The following Parties have deposited an instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or
accession, and are therefore considered to have satisfied the provisions of 1/CP.21, paragraph 22.
The INDCs of these Parties are available on the INDC platform.
