Kingdom of Bhutan: Second nationally determined contribution
In its second nationally determined contribution (NDC), Bhutan maintains its commitment to remain carbon-neutral and outlines enhancements from its first NDC. Bhutan reports on improvements on its national greenhouse gas inventory system, forest emissions and removals, and broad plans and actions for low emission development identified in the first NDC.
Since the inclusion of an adaptation component in its first NDC, Bhutan has started the process to formulate its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) as part of the NAP readiness support. Bhutan’s first NAP is expected to be completed and submitted in 2021 and will be the basis of Bhutan’s Adaptation Communication to convey priorities, plans, actions, and support needs for adaptation. The NAP will cover priority needs and actions in the areas of water, agriculture, forests & biodiversity, and health.
