Bangladesh

Bangladesh submitted its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2016, followed by an updated version in 2021. Most recently, in September 2025, Bangladesh submitted its NDC 3.0.

In its NDC 3.0, the country commits to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20.31% from business-as-usual levels by 2035. This includes an unconditional target of 6.39% and a conditional target of 13.92% with international support.

Bangladesh's mitigation priorities include scaling renewable power, enhancing the rate of efficiency improvements, transition away from unabated fossil fuels, carbon capture utilization and storage in ammonia fertilizer production, scaling up alternate wetting and drying in rice cultivation, feed management to improve animal diets and manure management, large-scale reforestation and coastal afforestation and waste-to-energy plants.

Adaptation covers water resources, disaster, social safety and security, agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and livestock, ecosystems, wetlands and biodiversity, urban areas, policies and institutions and capacity development and research and innovation.

Bangladesh's NDC 3.0, led by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, puts just transition and inclusion at the center, prioritizing decent work, equity and protection for vulnerable groups.
