Tapping the potential of NDCs and LT-LEDS to address fossil fuel production
This analysis finds that a growing number of countries are addressing fossil fuels as part of their climate mitigation activities. The need for a managed transition away from fossil fuel production raises the question of whether and how countries are addressing this need in their national communications to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). A previous 2019 analysis of the first round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and long-term, low-emissions development strategies (LT-LEDS) found that few countries discussed how they would address fossil fuel production as part of their climate mitigation activities.
