National Determined Contributions (NDCs) 2021 (Updated).

This document presents Bangladesh's NDC update following the IPCC guidelines. The NDC update aims to further mitigation actions that Bangladesh may take to tackle its growing emissions and play its role in global efforts.
Bangladesh’s INDC proposed for 12 million tons (5%) unconditional reduction in GHG emission from Business as Usual (BAU) scenario by 2030 and a further 24 million tons (10%) conditional reduction in GHG emission with support from the international community taking the base year 2011. As part of the global initiative, Bangladesh updated the NDC incorporating additional sectors. The updated NDC covers Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and other Land use (AFOLU) and Waste, and 2012 has been considered as the base year. In the unconditional scenario, GHG emissions would be reduced by 27.56 Mt CO2e (6.73%) below BAU in 2030 in the respective sectors. 26.3 Mt CO2e (95.4%) of this emission reduction will be from the Energy sector while 0.64 (2.3%) and 0.6 (2.2%) Mt CO2e reduction will be from AFOLU (agriculture) and waste sector respectively. There will be no reduction in the IPPU sector. In the conditional scenario, GHG emissions would be reduced by 61.9 Mt CO2e (15.12%) below BAU in 2030 in the respective sectors. The conditional scenario has 59.7Mt CO2e (96.46%) emission reduction from the Energy sector, while 0.4 (0.65%) and 1.84 (2.97%) Mt CO2e reduction will be from AFOLU (agriculture) and Waste Sector respectively.
The NDC calls for a number of mitigation actions, including: Enhanced use of solar energy in Agriculture; Reduction of emission from rice field, fertiliser user, enteric fermentation and manure management; Deforestation reduction; Reforestation/ Afforestation; Forest restoration; Increase tree cover; Improved Municipal solid waste management; Implementation of renewable energy projects, Enhanced efficiency of Use of improved technology for power generationetc; etc.
