A visual analysis of every Pakistani submission to the UNFCCC: three Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs 2016 → NDC 2.0 2021 → NDC 3.0 2025), three National Communications (2003 → 2018 → 2025), two Biennial Reports (BUR 2022, BTR 2024), the 2024 NDC Investment Plan, and the underlying adaptation & mitigation project database.
Compiled and analysed by PRIED from Pakistan's official UNFCCC submissions.
Pakistan's three Nationally Determined Contributions to the UNFCCC — headline commitments at a glance, then INDCs, NDC 2.0 and NDC 3.0 side by side.
Headline commitments, at a glance
Emission Reduction Target
50%
↑ from 20% in the 2016 INDCs
National GHG Emissions (2023–24)
585.08
MtCO₂e · ↑ 44.5% since 2014–15 (405 Mt)
Financing Required (NDC 3.0)
$565.7B
Up from $40B (INDCs) and $348B (NDC 2.0)
Renewable Energy Target
60%
By 2030 · EVs: 30% of new sales by 2030
Three generations, side by side
INDCs (2016), NDC 2.0 (2021) and NDC 3.0 (2025) are Pakistan's three formal mitigation pledges to the UNFCCC. Each superseded the last with a higher target, a later horizon and a larger price tag.

National Communications
Pakistan's three National Communications to the UNFCCC (NC1 → NC2 → NC3) track the country's inventory methodology and sectoral emissions detail as it matured over two decades.

Sectoral Share by Communication (%)
Transparency Reports
The Biennial Update Report (2022) and its successor, the Biennial Transparency Report (2024), share the same 2020–21 inventory but BTR adds forward-looking mitigation scenario modelling to 2030 and 2035.
2021 Inventory — Sectoral Emissions (MtCO₂e)
2022 Floods — Economic Impact
Where emissions head under each policy path (BTR scenarios)
BTR (2024) models three pathways for national emissions. Only the Mitigation Scenario (MIS) delivers Pakistan's full NDC target.

Projected Emissions by 2035 (MtCO₂e)
Investment & Finance
From the 2024 NDC Investment Plan: federal and provincial budget allocations against the financing required for NDC implementation (2022–23), plus how domestic public finance is allocated across sectors.
Total Investment Need (2023–2030)
$348B
$152B adaptation (44%) + $196B mitigation (56%)
Financing Gap Identified
$2,367M
Beyond allocated federal + provincial budgets, for 59 priority NDC actions
Federal PSDP Allocated (2022–23)
$276M
of $470M required for priority actions
