The conditional contribution could allow an additional reduction of cumulative GHG emissions of 17.9% Compared to the business-as-usual scenario of around 3.5% by 2030. Implementation of the envisaged measures could also contribute to Benin s cumulative sequestration capacity compared to the business as usual scenario of 5 , 7% over the period 2021-2030 by reducing the annual rate of deforestation of natural forests by 41.7%. Under this objective, the unconditional contribution is in the order of 1.4% and the contingent contribution is approximately 4.3%. Reducing the annual rate of deforestation could enable Benin to reduce its cumulative emissions from the forestry sector compared to the business-as-usual scenario of around 110 Mt E-CO2 over the period 2021-2030.
