Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs, are countries’ self-defined national climate pledges under the Paris Agreement, detailing what they will do to help meet the global goal to pursue 1.5°C, adapt to climate impacts and ensure sufficient finance to support these efforts. While nations are legally obligated to have an NDC, and to pursue measures with the aim of achieving it, fulfilment of the NDC is currently not a legally binding or enforceable commitment.
