The Republic of Cameroon submitted its new climate action plan to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
This Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC)
comes well in advance of a new universal climate change agreement which
will be reached at the UN climate conference in Paris, in December this
year.
This INDC and all others submitted by countries are available on the UNFCCC website here.
Including Cameroon, 86 parties to the UNFCCC have formally submitted
their INDCs. The UNFCCC secretariat provides relevant background data
for Cameroon in the PDF below.
The Paris agreement will come into effect in 2020, empowering all
countries to act to prevent average global temperatures rising above 2
degrees Celsius and to reap the many opportunities that arise from a
necessary global transformation to clean and sustainable development.
UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres is encouraging
countries to come forward with their INDCs as soon as they are able,
underlining their commitment and support towards this successful outcome
in Paris. Governments agreed to submit their INDCs in advance of Paris.
All information such as documentation on designing and preparing
INDCs as well as on sources of support for INDC preparation, is
available here.
Countries have agreed that there will be no back-tracking in these
national climate plans, meaning that the level of ambition to reduce
emissions will increase over time.
