Burkina Faso

Overview

Burkina Faso submitted its updated NDC in 2021. The updated NDC has the enhanced ambition of reducing emissions by 29.42% by 2030 with the potential to achieve a reduction of 30.76% with the successful implementation of adaptation measures. The updated NDC covers energy, AFOLU, waste and transport sectors for mitigation and agriculture, water, environment, animal resources, habitat and infrastructure for the adaptation sectors. The overall cost of NDC implementation is USD 1.5 billion for unconditional commitments and USD 2.5 billion for conditional commitments. The NDC investment plan was developed in 2020 which includes priority investment projects for mitigation and adaptation areas identified in the country’s Partnership Plan. In 2022, Burkina Faso adopted the 2050 vision for low-carbon emission and climate resilient development.
