NDC Quantification
Namibia’s 2030 pledge: A 13.1% reduction of emissions compared to business-as-usual emissions.
For total GHG emissions excluding LULUCF, that is 95% below 2019 levels by 2030.

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.
Unchanged business-as-usual emissions (unconditional) to a -13.1% (conditional) reduction of emissions compared to business-as-usual emissions.

“Economy-wide”: the target covers all major sectors. “incl. LULUCF”: includes land use, land-use change and forestry. “AR5”: gases aggregated using IPCC AR5 100-year global warming potentials.
Submission history
We have quantified every NDC and long-term strategy Namibia has submitted since 2015, including the pledges it has since superseded, so the evolution of ambition reads oldest to newest.
