PARIS, July 31 — Countries that have signed up to the Paris accord to tame climate change need to be more ambitious in their own national efforts, the UN’s climate chief said today.
And “the level of ambition reflected in those national climate action plans also needs to be enhanced,” she said. Under the accord, every participating country originally had until the end of 2020 to submit new or updated “nationally determined contributions” or “NDCs”. By the new cut-off date yesterday, “the secretariat received new or updated NDCs from 110 parties,” Espinosa said, including the United States, which came back into the Paris Agreement after former president Donald Trump pulled out.
