The Tajikistan NDC Implementation Plan provides a roadmap for mitigation and adaptation actions to achieve significant long-term emission reductions of more than 50% by 2030 from 1990 levels and increase the country's resilience to climate change.
The plan defines about 100 mitigation and adaptation measures in many sectors, including energy, industry, agriculture and forestry, land use and waste.
