In line with the declaration, the Republic of Korea once again communicates the enhanced update of its first NDC. The enhanced update of the first NDC of the Republic of Korea is set at the most ambitious level possible to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 despite the countryâs manufacturing-oriented industry structure.The updated and enhanced target is to reduce total national GHG emissions by 40% from the 2018 level, which is 727.6 MtCO2eq, by 2030. 40% reduction target is more enhanced because it is below its linear reduction pathways from 2018 to 2050. This indicates the Republic of Koreaâs enhanced ambition towards the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
