The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean temperature increase to well below 2 °C and to pursue efforts to limit it to below 1.5 °C. To achieve this, more than 190 Parties have submitted Nationally Determined Contributions, so-called NDCs, outlining their climate action beyond 2020. By 1 April 2025, 180 Parties (including the EU and its 27 EU Member States), representing about 94% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, had communicated their new or updated NDCs (Climate Watch, 2025). In 2025, countries need to submit updated NDCs outlining new mitigation targets for 2035, ideally alongside strengthened targets for 2030.
The PBL Climate Pledge NDC tool shows the targets in the submitted NDCs (including the updates) and the pledges made earlier for 2020. For 25 major emitting Parties, the tool compares these targets with greenhouse gas emission projections under current domestic climate policies up to 2030.
