The Policy Dashboard brings together national and international datasets covering policy developments across climate, energy, food and agriculture, and wider sustainability issues.
It provides data on government commitments, policy frameworks and implementation, helping to assess how policy decisions are shaping the global transition towards a more sustainable economy.
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC)
Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) are the national climate action plans submitted by countries under the Paris Agreement. They set out how each country intends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, where relevant, adapt to climate change.
Countries are required to prepare, communicate and maintain successive NDCs on a five-year cycle. The 2025 submission round introduced new or updated targets, with the next cycle expected in 2030.
2025 NDC’s
Status: In development
Our NDC dataset brings together individual country commitments, allowing comparisons of targets, ambition and progress towards implementation.
The table below summarises the latest national climate commitments submitted in the 2025 NDC round. The target figure represents the country’s stated greenhouse gas emissions level in its target year, expressed in million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e). Where countries express their commitments against a baseline year or a projected business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, the figure is presented in accordance with the target submitted.
The net-zero target indicates the year in which the country aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
| Country | Target emissions (MtCO₂e) | Target year | Net-zero taget | Date submitted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chile | 90 | 2035 | ||
| Mexico | 364–404 | 2035 | ||
| Nigeria | 388.6 | 2035 | ||
| Singapore | 45–50 | 2035 | ||
| Türkiye | 643 | 2035 | ||
| Brazil | 850–1,050 | 2035 | ||
| Malawi | 53.3 | 2035 |

How the policy data works
Our policy-focused data sets has just launched and is a new process. We will gradually add new policy data sets.
Data sources
Our policy data sets draw on authoritative scientific and international sources, UNFCCC, national governments, international organisations, independent research institutions and specialist policy assessment organisations such as Climate Action Tracker.
Individual datasets identify their specific sources and methodologies.

Policy is one part of our wider Global energy, climate and sustainability dashboard. Climate monitoring , finance, adaptation, agriculture, infrastructure and other societal impacts are covered through their relevant sectoral datasets and can be linked to the physical climate conditions monitored here.
