These figures use each pledge’s own scope. The chart below measures every pledge the same way, so its numbers can differ.
Pledges to pathways
Every target Gabon has communicated, turned into an emissions pathway and set against its observed emissions.
Total greenhouse-gas emissions excl. LULUCF for Gabon, AR6 GWP-100. Shaded bands show the range of published interpretations of each pledge.

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 50.0% reduction of emissions compared to business-as-usual emissions.
Unconditional
9 Mt CO₂-eq
From the NDC submitted in Nov 2016
Unconditionally: A custom target, approximated as: An absolute target of 3.8 Mt CO2-e/yr.
Unconditional
3.8 Mt CO₂-eq
From the NDC submitted in Jul 2022
An absolute target of -92.4 (unconditional) to -121.5 (conditional) Mt CO2-e/yr.
Unconditional
−92 Mt CO₂-eq
With support
−122 Mt CO₂-eq
From the NDC submitted in Dec 2025
“Economy-wide”: the target covers all major sectors. “incl. LULUCF”: includes land use, land-use change and forestry. “GWP unclear”: the submission does not say which global warming potentials it uses. “2006 IPCC Guidelines”: the submission does not say which global warming potentials it uses.
Submission history
We have quantified every NDC and long-term strategy Gabon has submitted since 2015, including the pledges it has since superseded, so the evolution of ambition reads oldest to newest.
