Under this early action, Costa Rica proposed since 2007 to compensate its emissions through the removal or offsettingby the forest sector. The goal proposed to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2021 with total net emissions comparable to total emissions in 2005. Since then, the mitigation goals agreed by the Conference of the Parties have evolved, and the mitigation efforts must aspire to maintain the mean global temperature below 2Â°C. In this National Contribution, the date of 2021 will become the turning point Costa Ricaâs emissions, as a continuation of its voluntary action and a landmark in the path towards de-carbonizing the economy.
