Sudan’s updated NDC states her intention to contribute to mitigation efforts within the energy, forestry and waste sectors (Khartoum state only). This is in line with its national circumstances, development priorities and goals as stated in documents such as the Second National Communication (SNC), National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and Strategic Plan 2007-2033. Efforts aimed at transforming the NDC from a communication document into an action plan implementable within the timeframe for First NDCs (2021-2030). For climate action by 2030, for example, Sudan intends to integrate renewable energy in its power system by up to 20% (2610MW) (including solar rural electrification through installation of 1.1 million solar home systems), attain 25% forest coverage from the total area of Sudan (over 790,000 hectares to be planted annually) and overhaul the waste sector (collection, sanitary landfills and moving towards to zero waste).
