NDC Quantification
Cyprus’s latest quantified pledge puts emissions 72–95% below 2019 levels by 2050.

NDC Quantification
Cyprus’ 2050 pledge: 63.0% below 1990 levels.
For total GHG emissions excluding LULUCF, that is 72–95% below 2019 levels by 2050.

Scope & conditionality
Coverage and conditionality are derived from our structured assessment of each submission. Each 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.
Unconditionally: A reduction according to the the EU ETS and ESR mechanisms. ETS: 62.0% reduction. ESR: 32.0% reduction.
Unconditional
4.8 Mt CO₂-eq
From the NDC submitted in Oct 2023
Unconditionally: A reduction according to the the EU ETS and ESR mechanisms. ETS: between 84.0% and 84.0% reduction. ESR: between 37.7% and 47.0% reduction.
Unconditional
3.1 – 3.5 Mt CO₂-eq
From the NDC submitted in Nov 2025
Unconditionally: A target range. The low end of ambition is: 63.0% below 1990 levels. The high end of ambition is: Net zero emissions.
Unconditional
0.0 – 2.0 Mt CO₂-eq
From the LT-LEDS submitted in Feb 2023
“Economy-wide”: the target covers all major sectors. “All gases”: covers the full basket of greenhouse gases. “incl. LULUCF”: includes land use, land-use change and forestry. “AR5”: gases aggregated using IPCC AR5 100-year global warming potentials. “AR4”: gases aggregated using IPCC AR4 100-year global warming potentials.
Submission history
We have quantified every NDC and long-term strategy Cyprus has submitted since 2015, including the pledges it has since superseded, so the evolution of ambition reads oldest to newest.
