IAM_COMPACT_NDCs_LTTs_Database

This dataset contains Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for 2030, and new long-term strategies (LTSs) for 2050, which were put in place in the run-up to, during, and after the COP26 conference. NDC targets reflect the level of short-term ambition to which most countries are dedicated to through law or policy, but with risks of falling short if dedication is not high enough and/or changes occur in the political landscape. Long-term targets (LTT) reflect the level of longer-term ambition which many countries have stated to fulfil their part in mitigating climate change, but in most cases not backed with an actual policy agenda. These will come on top of pledged NDC targets, to create another increased level of proposed ambition. These pledges will be included for each separate model region as a linear pathway from the 2030 NDC target (NDC_LTT).
