The Commonwealth of Dominica transmits its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) through this submission, which acknowledges Article 4 of the Paris Agreement and calls for a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions of 45% below 2014 levels by 2030. The 2015 NDC is replaced by this updated version, which will be regarded as the current NDC as of the Secretariat's receipt date. Despite obstacles, the nation has the chance to retain, if not exceed, its 2030 target thanks to the commitment to increased action and ambition as well as lessons learned. Through the creation of the Climate Change, Environment and Natural Resource Management Bill 2020, which offers the overarching enabling framework to allow Dominica's transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient development, climate change action is codified in law. Dominica has set a target for 100% emissions reduction in the shipping sub-sector by 2030. Achievement of this will largely be based on the development of synthetic fuels. Dominica Air and Sea Port Authority (DASPA) has embarked on a program to augment airport and sea port facilities with off-grid electricity using solar PV and possible hydro.
