Type of reference Emissions reduction relative to Business-As-Usual baselines Coverage % national emissions Sector Energy Public electricity (generation and demand side management) Land transport Waste Solid waste management [sectors not listed do not contribute significantly to emissions; opportunities for emission reductions in LULUCF are limited] Baseline description Business As Usual scenario of emission projections based on economic growth in the absence of climate change policies, starting from 2010 in the case of public electricity and land transport sub-sectors (to which non-GHG outcomes have been applied), and 2012 for emission from solid waste management (to which a project-based approach is used). [emissions from other gases are insignificant] Geographical boundaries Republic of SeychellesIntention to use market-based mechanisms to meet target No Land sector accounting approach Not Applicable Metric applied GWP of CH4 Methodological approaches Consistent with methodologies used in the Second National Communication 2011 (1996 IPCC Guidelines); Used combined margin grid emission factor (2014) to calculate emission reductions from public electricity sub-sector Planning process Planning processes for preparation of the INDC: The INDC was developed using a multi-stakeholder consultative process by engaging relevant stakeholders in and outside government.
