The Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (CPDN) of the Republic of Benin are based on measures contained in its National Programmes for Poverty Reduction and Climate Change Management, whose overall objective is to contribute to sustainable and resilient development to climate change by providing adequate solutions to the challenges associated with climate change.
Developed on the basis of a participatory and inclusive approach involving various stakeholders (public institutions, private sector, civil society), the CPDN of Benin places the country's progress in the fight against climate change by 2030 in order to contain the increase in global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius as recommended by the international community.
In the field of mitigation, Benin plans to reduce overall its cumulative greenhouse gas emissions (excluding the forestry sector) compared to the business-as-usual scenario by around 21.4% over the period 2021 to 2030.This report on the INDC, which cannot be exhaustive, is dynamic in nature and could therefore be refined in the light of new data and information.
