Saint Lucia will continue to look at challenges and opportunities in the sector, including capacity building, for future inclusion of the forest and AFOLU sector in its NDCs. Box 1: The 2020 Updated NDC compared to the Saint Luciaâs updated NDC will reduce greenhouse gases by 37 GgCO2e., compared to 2010 emissions, a deeper reduction in emissions than the first NDC, which effectively proposed to reduce GHG emissions by 10 GgCO2e. In terms of percentage decrease, the updated NDC translates to approximately 7% reduction in GHG emissions in the energy sector by 2030, relative to the 2010 emissions. In comparison, Saint Luciaâs first NDC effectively resulted in an emissions reduction of 2%. In absolute terms, 2010 emissions in the energy sector were 505 GgCO2e, which will be reduced to 468 GgCO2e in 2030.
