Background
As countries prepare for their NDCs 3.0 submissions due this year,2025, the development of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projections has become increasingly critical for setting ambitious and implementable climate targets. GHG emissions projections are essential tools for policymakers to establish evidence-based GHG reduction targets, track progress toward these targets, and assess the expected impacts of mitigation measures. These projections serve as crucial components in NDC development, helping countries understand their emission trajectories under different scenarios: Business as Usual (BAU) / Without Measures (WOM), With Measures (WEM), and With Additional Measures (WAM).
Objectives
The webinar aims to:
1. Provide guidance on developing BAU, WEM, and WAM scenarios for NDC 3.0, including methodological approaches and best practices for GHG emissions projections.
2. Enhance technical capacity in using tools and methodologies for GHG emissions projections, with particular focus on country-specific circumstances and data availability.
3. Facilitate knowledge exchange on successful approaches to GHG projections development, including data collection, scenario building, and stakeholder engagement.
4. Guide participants on integrating GHG projections into their NDC 3.0 submissions and using projections to inform target setting and policy planning.
