This flowchart illustrates the cyclical process of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), from preparation to review and subsequent updates, which is central to the Paris Agreement's bottom-up approach to climate action.

2. Submission of NDC (To UNFCCC Secretariat, every 5 years; next by 2025)
3. National Implementation (Policies, measures, investments)
4. Reporting Progress (Through Enhanced Transparency Framework - ETF)
5. Global Stocktake (Collective assessment of progress, every 5 years; first at COP28 2023)

Country-driven: Each country determines its own contribution based on its national circumstances, priorities, and capabilities.
Scope: Can include mitigation targets (emission reductions), adaptation actions, and means of implementation (finance, technology transfer, capacity building).
Ambition: NDCs are expected to represent a progression over time, reflecting the highest possible ambition.
Regular Review: Countries are required to submit new or updated NDCs every 5 years, with the aim of increasing ambition.
Transparency: NDCs are publicly available, and countries report on their progress through the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).
No Enforcement Mechanism: While NDCs are central to the Paris Agreement, there is no direct enforcement mechanism for achieving the stated targets, relying instead on transparency and peer pressure.
Common But Differentiated Responsibilities: The principle of CBDR-RC is embedded, allowing developing countries to frame their NDCs differently, often conditional on international support.
India's NDCs: India's updated NDCs (2022) include reducing emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 from 2005 level, achieving about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, and promoting a healthy and sustainable way of living based on traditions and values of conservation and moderation.
