The implementation of policies and measures to address climate change is essential for our country to adapt to the new reality of the world. It has never been so important to put efforts to <\/span>strengthen the economy<\/b>, <\/span>consider social impacts<\/b> It is <\/span>reduce environmental damage<\/b> caused by business. It is necessary to think about all these aspects simultaneously so that sustainable development is achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding climate change on the planet, Brazil has already taken an important step towards adapting.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2015, the country ratified the <\/span>Paris Agreement<\/span><\/a> to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and enable a more promising future for future generations. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now understand the role of <\/span>Nationally Determined Contribution <\/b>(NDC<\/strong>, in the acronym in English)<\/span> on this journey and why it is so important to obtain concrete results towards a low-carbon economy. Check out!<\/span><\/p>\n

Context <\/b><\/h2>\n

Every year the United Nations Climate Change Convention <\/span>(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change \u2013 UNFCCC)<\/span><\/a> holds the COP \u2013 Conference of the Parties, with the participation of all signatory countries to the Convention.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>COP 17<\/span><\/a>, held in 2011, marked the beginning of practical proposals between the parties to discuss a global climate agreement. At that meeting, it was decided that all members should reach a final agreement by 2015, in <\/span>COP 21<\/span><\/a>, based in Paris. From this movement emerged the Paris Agreement, a global pact that replaced the Kyoto Protocol. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before that, even at the 2011 COP, each country would have \u201chomework\u201d to do so that the terms of the agreement could be defined: look at its economy and activities and develop concrete proposals for a drastic \u2013 and necessary! \u2013 <\/span>reducing carbon emissions<\/b>. The objective was to make each nation capable of preparing a specific study, according to its particularities, establishing reduction targets and proposing measures that would allow them to be met.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is iNDC<\/b><\/h3>\n

Subsequently, this document with the intentions of reducing emissions prepared by each country should be sent to the UNFCCC. All these materials delivered were called <\/span>iNDC (Intended Nationally Determined Contributions)<\/span><\/a>. O <\/span>intended<\/span><\/i> of the name is explained by the fact that the document is an intention to change, a proposal that has not yet been made official.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once ratified by the UNFCCC and the country's presidency, the iNDC is now exclusively called the NDC. <\/span>It is a commitment made, in fact, by the country. The goals and measures mentioned in the document must then be put into practice so that the objectives are achieved.<\/b><\/p>\n

In Brazil, the agreement was promulgated on September 12th and <\/span>the iNDC document<\/span><\/a> was sent to the UNFCCC to finalize ratification. <\/span><\/p>\n

From that day on, we made a commitment to reduce emissions in accordance with the targets mentioned in the NDC.<\/p>\n

The main goals are:<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \u00a0Reduction of 37% in emissions by 2025, taking 2005 emissions as a starting point;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Possible reduction of 43% in emissions by 2030.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
