The submission of the INDC is anchored on the Republic of the Philippines' policy declaration under the Climate Change Law of 2009, as amended in 2012, whereby the State shall cooperate with the global community in the resolution of climate change issues. The Philippine INDC is premised on the philosophy of pursuing climate change mitigation as a function of adaptation. Also, mitigation measures as presented in the INDC, will be pursued in line with sustainable development and a low-emission development that promotes inclusive growth.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and given the temperature increases locked in by present world emissions of greenhouse gasses, adaptation is a high priority. The country will need financial support, capacity building and technical support to face the uncertain future posed by climate change.

The document offers an overview on the Republic of Palau's commitment towards the success of negotiations. It defines the country's targets, including emission reductions of 22% in the energy sector below 2005 levels by 2025, 45% Renewable Energy target by 2025, 35% Energy Efficiency target by 2025. The sectors covered are Energy (electricity generation), transport and waste. The gases covered are Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).

Pak-INDC is reflected in Vision 2025 of Pakistan – a roadmap of economic growth, social inclusion and sustainable development.

The Paris Agreement welcomes the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions that have been communicated by Parties in accordance with decision 1/CP.19, paragraph 2(b) in this context, Niue submitted its INDC to the UNFCCC COP21 negotiations, including; their proposed GHG reduction targets.

As a small state and island, Nauru is extremely exposed to the consequences of climate change. Hereby it commits to reduce its emissions and to play its part against climate change. The main mitigation contribution is to achieve the outcomes and targets under the National Energy Road Map (NERM), NSDS and recommendations under the SNC and is conditional on receiving adequate funding and resources. The mitigation contribution will be contingent on obtaining funding and technical assistance to put in place the energy transition and energy savings measures.

New Zealand commits to reduce GHG emissions to 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. New Zealand’s INDC will remain provisional pending confirmation of the approaches to be taken in accounting for the land sector, and confirmation of access to carbon markets.

This Energy Strategy is an update to the 2008 Energy Strategy, which was endorsed at the 5th Ministerial Conference on CAREC – Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program. The Strategy reports on advances made by CAREC since 2008, changes in the energy sectors of the CAREC member countries, and current trends in the energy sector in the region, and globally. The Strategy aims to enable the development of solutions to meet future energy demand and to promote development of sustainable energy resources for the region, and for export, by cultivating the potential for mutually beneficial gains among participating countries. The topics addressed are as follows: 1. Long-Term Vision for the Sector; 2. Strategic Approach to Regional Cooperation including Principles for regional cooperation; Benefits from regional cooperation; Technology adoption and sustainable energy. 3. Strategic Components and Priorities including Investment measures for regional cooperation; Capacity building and knowledge sharing; Policy support; 4. Strategy Implementation and Monitoring and Energy Sector Coordinating Committee Work Plan: 2016–2020. 5. Energy Work Plan for 2016–2020.---Note: ESCC Energy Sector Coordinating Committee.

Mongolia’s INDC has its conceptual roots in the Green Development Policy of Mongolia, approved by the Parliament in 2014, to which key sectorial action plans at the national level, including energy sector, are being adjusted. Key indicators for measuring progress in the implementation of the Green Development Policy include, among others, efficient use of energy, GHG emissions and ecological footprint per unit of GDP. In its INDC, Mongolia has outlined a series of policies and measures that the country commits to implement up to 2030, in the energy, industry, agriculture and waste sectors.
