Cabo Verde

Cape Verde commits to reduce GHG emissions by 18% (unconditional) and 24% (conditional) by 2030 compared to BAU. 

Cabo Verde supports the use of all of the enhanced ambition instruments under Art. 6 of the Paris Agreement, focusing on energy and mobility under the provision on cooperative approaches (Art. 6.2 Paris Agreement) and on targeting adaptation benefits for rural communities (food and water security and healthy soils) as well as interventions on sustainable tourism and blue habitats (ecosystem services from coastal wetlands and marine resources) under the non-market approaches provision (Art. 6.8 Paris Agreement). 

Cape Verde lists five mitigation contributions, containing several measures: 

Energy 

• Reducing energy intensity and fostering energy efficiency 
• Increasing renewable energy targets 

Transport 

• Lowering the carbon intensity of mobility 

Responsible tourism and circular economy 

• Shifting towards responsible tourism and circular economy 

Agriculture, forestry, and other land-use 

• Fostering the nature sink function of ecosystems 

Energy; Industrial processes; Agriculture; Waste; Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF). 

The total estimated funding needs amount to 2 billion EUR (1 billion EUR for mitigation and 1 billion EUR for adaptation).
