Transports in NDCs 3.0 : An Analysis by GIZ and SLOCAT

The year 2025 marks a crucial juncture for advancing sustainable, low-carbon transport. Countries are expected to submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with enhanced 2035 targets, referred to here as third-generation NDCs*. These submissions offer a vital opportunity to accelerate climate action in transport, aligning with national strategies and coordinating efforts across governance levels and sectors. This summary analysis outlines findings from the first 23 third-generation NDCs submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as of 3 November 2025.
