Vanuatu’s Revised and Enhanced 1st Nationally Determined Contribution 2021–2030

Summary

Vanuatu, despite being a carbon-negative nation, faces existential threats from climate change, including rising sea levels and extreme weather, and urges global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. To address this, Vanuatu has significantly enhanced its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for 2021-2030, outlining 20 mitigation, 116 adaptation, and 12 loss and damage commitments. The plan aims to phase out fossil fuels, deeply decarbonize, and transition to a circular economy, contingent on approximately USD 1.2 billion in international finance, and is currently in progress, demonstrating Vanuatu's leadership in climate action.
