Belize

NDC Status

Belize submitted its third NDC in June 2025. 

Key highlights from the NDC

• Belize’s updated NDC demonstrates increased mitigation ambition, setting a new target to reduce cumulative emissions by 6,234 kilotonnes of CO₂ equivalent by 2035, surpassing the previous commitment.  
• The third NDC was developed with a highly participatory process, extensive stakeholder engagement and national validation. The NDC features a robust energy transition plan, aiming for the installation of 100 MW of solar power, 20 MW of wind power, and expanded adoption of electric vehicles in both private and public sectors. Nature-based solutions are also central, with the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector playing a pivotal role in carbon sequestration and ecosystem protection.
• Belize’s third NDC further emphasizes strengthening adaptation and resilience across all sectors, integrating gender and youth priorities, and aligning with national adaptation plans and development strategies.
• The successful implementation of these ambitious targets depends on securing approximately US$1.55 billion in financial, technical, and human resource support. Belize’s NDC outlines a comprehensive roadmap for sustainable development and climate resilience.
