NDC Quantification
Niger’s 2050 pledge: A 96.0% reduction of emissions compared to business-as-usual emissions.
For total GHG emissions excluding LULUCF, that is 22% below 2019 levels by 2050.

These figures use each pledge’s own scope. The chart below measures every pledge the same way, so its numbers can differ. If the latest pledge has no figure for a year, we show the last pledge that did.

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: An absolute target of 6.6 Mt CO2-e/yr. Conditionally: A custom target, approximated as: An absolute target of 3.9 Mt CO2-e/yr.

“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. “2006 IPCC Guidelines”: the submission does not say which global warming potentials it uses. “AR5”: gases aggregated using IPCC AR5 100-year global warming potentials.
Submission history
We have quantified every NDC and long-term strategy Niger has submitted since 2015, including the pledges it has since superseded, so the evolution of ambition reads oldest to newest.
