Scope & conditionality
Coverage and conditionality are derived from our structured assessment of the active submission. The target is shown as submitted, in its own scope. The chart above measures every pledge the same way (AR6, excl. LULUCF), so its numbers can differ.
Conditionally: 34.9% below 2006 levels.

“GWP unclear”: the submission does not say which global warming potentials it uses.
Submission history
We have quantified every NDC and long-term strategy Cook Islands has submitted since 2015, including the pledges it has since superseded, so the evolution of ambition reads oldest to newest.
