The Problem with Net Zero: Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

To achieve total sector decarbonisation, we need to see governments of all levels collaborating. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are climate action plans from national governments to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts.

Each Party (country) to the Paris Agreement is required to establish an NDC and update it every five years. According to GlobalABC, 80% of countries now refer to buildings as part of their NDC action plans, compared to around 69% in 2020.
