Abstract

This report assesses the impact of NDCs on the energy sectors of ADB’s DMCs in terms of projected changes to the power mix, anticipated investment in energy technologies, as well the resulting emissions and emissions intensity of the power sector. The Paris Agreement sets long-term goals to limit temperature rise to below 2 degrees centigrade (o C) and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5o C. The core building blocks of the Paris Agreement are the nationally determined contributions (NDCs). NDCs contain a wide range of emissions targets, expressed in different forms and against different years, accompanied by targets in the form of renewable energy, nonfossil fuel energy, energy intensity, regulatory policies, and so on.
