Burundi’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) aims at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by around 16.86 million tCO2e by 2030, or a reduction of emissions by 23% compared to the projected business as usual (BAU) scenario. Around 1.96 MtCO2e is planned to be reduced through domestic measures whereas around 14.89 MtCO2e reduction will be conditional on international support (Republic of Burundi 2021). Full implementation of the NDC requires around 1.5 billion USD (1.4 billion for mitigation, 3.7 million for adaptation measures and 43.75 million for other activities). Burundi’s NDC clearly states the intention to participate in Article 6-backed carbon markets in order to mobilize resources for NDC implementation.
