In its second NDC, Nepal has pledged to cut GHG emissions by 28 percent by 2030 compared to business-as-usual scenario, generate 15 percent of the national energy demand from clean energy sources by 2030, and maintain 45 percent of forest coverage. The second NDC also sets policy-based targets for energy, AFOLU, industry, waste, tourism, urban settlements, gender equality, and social inclusion, as well as reaffirms the nation’s adaptation priorities which includes agriculture and food security; forests, biodiversity and watershed conservation; energy; health; and disaster risk reduction and management. Nepal’s NDC revision and implementation planning was supported by the NDC Partnership Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) through partners Climate Analytics, GIZ, UNDP, and WWF. The Government sent a Request for Support Letter to the NDC Partnership in June 2021, consisting of ten requests pertaining to, among others, strenghtening coordination, piloting gender equality and social inclusion plans, and developing sectoral implementation strategies and emission factors. Climate Analytics, GWP, ICIMOD, IWMI, UNCDF, UNDP, and WWF responded positively in September 2021 and coordination of support is underway. Nepal is developing NDC Implementation Plans based on its second NDC, to be finalized by early 2022. The expected cost of implementing the NDC is USD 25 billion up to 2030. The NDC Implementation Plans (including key NDC sectors) will be shared with partners to mobilize financial resources and implementation support.
