Targets
Excluding LULUCF, the Republic of Guinea sets its unconditional target at 2,056 ktCO2eq / year, i.e. 9.7% reduction in its emissions in 2030 compared to the trend scenario, i.e. an increase in emissions of 5% per year over the period 2020-2030. The conditional target is set at 3,929 ktCO2 eq / year, i.e. 17.0% compared to the trend scenario, i.e. emissions growth of 4% per year over the period 2020-2030.
Article 6 engagement
Guinea wishes to express its interest and intention to voluntarily engage in cooperative approaches provided for in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, to finance its contribution to mitigation efforts which is conditional on obtaining international financial support, while providing a complementary response to its development needs to move towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Guinea wishes to prepare as soon as possible to be able to participate actively in cooperative approaches, in particular within the framework of the market-based mechanism for sustainable development of article 6.4 but also of the non-market-based approaches that are planned.
In particular, Guinea wishes to engage in these cooperative approaches to develop the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, in particular small hydropower, solar photovoltaic and wind power, as well as the deployment of improved stoves for 50% (conditional objective) of Guinean households to significantly reduce the pressure on forest resources and the resulting loss of remarkable biodiversity.

- Urgently curb deforestation through sustainable forest management and increase in protected areas
Mines
- Put the mining sector on a net zero emissions trajectory by 2040
Transport
- Improving the efficiency of the national transport system
Waste
- Collect and recover urban waste
