Sierra Leone
Contribution déterminée au niveau national
Objectifs
| Sierra Leone remains committed to reducing GHG emissions as per its NDC 3.0, with a more ambitious targets consistent with the national goal of reaching net-zero emissions in alignment with the Agenda 2063 of the African Union. It commits to reducing its GHG emissions by 36.2% below business-as-usual emissions by 2035. This translates to overall GHG emissions reduction of 19,987 Gg CO2e. It will reduce GHG emissions from the waste sector by 52.5% below BAU levels by 2035; Reduce GHG emissions from the transport sector by 16.2% below BAU levels by 2035; Reduce GHG emissions from the energy sector by 41.6% below BAU levels by 2035; Reduce GHG emissions from the AFOLU sector by 33.6% below BAU levels by 2035 |
Article 6 engagement
Sierra Leone is exploring mechanisms for cooperation as provided under Art. 6 of the Paris Agreement.
