ArgentinaYesYes349 MtCO2e by 2030-134483 MtCO2e by 20300.8%Net zero by 2050

AustraliaYesYes43% below 2005 by 2030-92.626-28% below 2005 by 20301.3%Net zero by 2050

CanadaYesYes40-45% below 2005 by 2030-79.530% below 2005 by 20301.6%Net zero by 2050

ChinaYesYesOver 65% carbon intensity reduction below 2005 by 2030-1830, see notes.60-65% carbon intensity reduction below 2005 by 203023.9%Net zero by 2060Based on our preliminary data estimates, the change in 2030 emissions for China’s NDC, relative to its previous NDC, is 1830 MtCO2. Please note that our methodology compares the ends of the range that would result in the highest levels of emissions. In the case of China, this means comparing the 65% to 60% in carbon intensity reduction below 2005 levels by 2030.

RussiaYesYes, but see notes70% of 1990 levels by 2030-15570-75% of 1990 levels by 20304.1%Net zero by 2060Russia’s submitted update is marginally stronger than its previous NDC, but it still allows emissions in 2030 to be higher than where they are projected to be under Russia’s current policies.

Saudi ArabiaYesYesReduce GHG emissions by 278 million tons of CO2eq annually by 2030-148Actions only1.3%Net zero by 2060
13
South AfricaYesYes350-420 MtCO2e by 2030 -194398-614 MtCO2e by 20301.1%No targetAlthough South Africa's long-term strategy only commits the country to following a "peak, plateau, and decline" trajectory, capping 2050 emissions at 428 MtCO2e, interest in a net-zero trajectory is conveyed. The strategy notes that it is a living document, which represents the "beginning of [the country's] journey towards ultimately reaching a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.

South KoreaYesYes40% below 2018 by 2030-99.524.4% below 2017 by 20301.40%Net zero by 2050

IndonesiaYesNo29% (unconditional) and 41% (conditional) below BAU by 2030029% (unconditional) and 41% (conditional) below BAU by 20303.5%No targetIndonesia has expressed interest in reaching net-zero emissions, though has not formally communicated a net-zero target. The country's long- term strategy notes that Indonesia is "exploring [the] opportunity to rapidly progress towards net-zero emission in 2060 or sooner."
22
IndiaNoN/AN/A-1008, based on India's announced 45% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030. This announcement has not yet been formalized in an updated NDC.33-35% emissions intensity reduction below 2005 by 20306.8%Net zero by 2070Based on our preliminary data estimates, the change in 2030 emissions for India's announced intensity target (45% reduction by 2030), relative to its previous NDC, is 1008 MtCO2. Please note that our methodology compares the ends of the range that would result in the highest levels of emissions. In the case of India, this means comparing the 45% to 33% in emissions intensity reduction below 2005 levels by 2030.6.8%

G20 members that have submitted NDCs with enhanced 2030 emissions reduction targets compared to previous NDCs
28
G20 members that have not yet submitted new or updated NDCs
29
G20 members that have submitted NDCs that are the same or weaker compared to previous NDCs

Notes:

1- The method for determining whether and to what extent G20 members have enhanced their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) with respect to greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation is based off WRI's technical note for determining the impact of NDC Enhancement on Country-Level Emissions.
