Aligning Chad’s Nationally Determined Contribution and National Action Plan to Advance Climate Action

Chad is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the effects of climate change. Because its economy is based mainly on the primary sector, Chad’s reliance on natural resources makes it particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events. In response, Chad submitted its revised Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in October 2021. It was not by coincidence that these two key documents for sustainable development were submitted at the same time. The updated NDC, as well as its adaptation actions, was developed in close collaboration with the first NAP.
