As the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26, draws closer, the Guyana Government’s preparation for the summit is intensifying as it races against time to finalise a new Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
NDCs are a country’s plan for climate action, required by the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
The new NDC will potentially include a pledge of cutting carbon emissions by 50% by 2025 – a decrease from the previous commitment of 100%.
