THIRD NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTION

Papua New Guinea’s Third Nationally
Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) sets out
the country’s climate commitments and
implementation priorities for the period
2025–2035. It reflects PNG’s commitment to
achieving the objectives of the Paris
Agreement and maintaining alignment with
Article 2, including efforts to help limit the
global temperature increases to 1.5°C. It also
accounts for PNG’s national circumstances
as a forest-rich, climate-vulnerable
developing country with globally significant
terrestrial and marine ecosystems, a rapidly
growing population, and significant
development and infrastructure needs. As
such, PNG’s NDC 3.0 balances climate
ambition with sustainable economic growth,
poverty reduction, energy access,
environmental protection, and resilience
building through an equitable approach that
helps drive a just transition
