NDC Quantification
Iraq’s 2035 pledge: A 22.0% reduction of emissions compared to business-as-usual emissions.
For total GHG emissions excluding LULUCF, that is 22% above 2019 levels by 2035 with support.

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 3.0% reduction of emissions compared to business-as-usual emissions.
Unconditional
262 Mt CO₂-eq
From the NDC submitted in Nov 2025
A 5.0% (unconditional) to 22.0% (conditional) reduction of emissions compared to business-as-usual emissions.
Unconditional
283 Mt CO₂-eq
With support
233 Mt CO₂-eq
From the NDC submitted in Nov 2025
“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We have quantified every NDC and long-term strategy Iraq has submitted since 2015, including the pledges it has since superseded, so the evolution of ambition reads oldest to newest.
