Bangladesh's Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0)

Bangladesh’s Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), submitted to the UNFCCC in 2025, outlines the country’s climate action roadmap through 2035, committing to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 6.4% unconditionally and 13.9% with international support below business-as-usual levels. Building on earlier NDCs, it sets an economy-wide strategy across energy, transport, industry, agriculture, forestry, and waste, emphasizing renewable energy expansion, energy efficiency, low-carbon transport, climate-smart agriculture, and waste-to-energy initiatives. The NDC also prioritizes adaptation, loss and damage, gender equality, youth inclusion, and a just transition for vulnerable communities. With an estimated cost of USD 116 billion, it highlights the need for strong international cooperation in finance, technology, and capacity building to achieve a climate-resilient and low-carbon Bangladesh.
