What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Iraq officially launched its Updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), which establishes a strengthened framework for climate action through 2035. The NDC, coordinated by the Ministry of Environment and the United Nations Development Programme, links climate action with economic diversification, energy security, and investment. The updated document sets an unconditional emissions-reduction target of up to 3 per cent below business-as-usual by 2030, with a new unconditional target of up to 5 per cent by 2035.

The NDC raises Iraq's climate ambition and outlines a pathway to link climate action with economic goals. A further conditional reduction of up to 17 per cent by 2035 is possible, contingent upon securing international climate finance, technology transfer, and capacity-building support.
