Pakistan's Updated Nationally Determined Contribution 2021represents national consensus to accelerating the transition towards a climate-resilient economy. The current submission is informed by recent policy development in the country in the NDC sectors, and some ambitious decisions taken by the pro-climate leadership to enhance Pakistan’s resilience and decarbonize the economy. In addition—for enhanced contributions—new sectors and new gases have also been added to the updated document. Hence, Pakistan intends to set a cumulative ambitious conditional target of overall 50% reduction of its projected emissions by 2030, with 15% from the country’s own resources and 35% subject to provision of international grant finance that would require USD 101 billion just for energy transition. To reach the target, Pakistan aims to shift to 60% renewable energy, and 30% electric vehicles by 2030 and completely ban imported coal.
