In August 2021, the Republic of Congo submitted its revised NDC to the UNFCCC. For the first time, the country set an unconditional target of 17.09% of GHG reduction by 2025 and 21.46% by 2030, compared to a business-as-usual scenario. In response to the Covid-19 crisis, the Government requested support through the Economic Advisory Initiative and the World Bank was able to provide this support by hiring two economic advisors, assessing the impacts of the pandemic on climate action and providing the Government with innovative financing instruments.
