What is the full form of NDC in the context of the Paris Agreement?

Correct answer: Nationally Determined Contribution. NDC stands for Nationally Determined Contribution.

Background: It is the climate action plan each country prepares and communicates under the Paris Agreement, covering emission cuts and, where applicable, adaptation.

• National Development Council: Not a term used in the Paris Agreement.
• Natural Disaster Control: Not a term used in the Paris Agreement.
• National Decarbonisation Committee: Not a term used in the Paris Agreement.

Did you know? Countries are expected to submit new, stronger NDCs every five years.

Memory trick: Nationally Determined = each nation decides its own.
