NDC Status

Togo submitted its updated interim NDC in October 2021.

Key highlights from the NDC 
  • Adding new greenhouse gases while increasing mitigation targets across sectors, Togo almost doubled their economy-wide emissions reduction target in their updated NDC, from 11.14% to 20.51%, relative to business-as-usual by 2030, with another 30.06% conditional on support.
  • With an estimated 69% of rural households living below the poverty line, adaptation and development remain key priorities under Togo’s NDC, with targets including 100% rural electrification by 2030.
  • The adaptation component also provides information on the progress made since the first NDC, and includes new activities and measures. The updated NDC also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals.
