Linkage among JCM, NDCs andSDGs• SDG 13 (Climate Actions) is directly linked toParis Agreement (PA).
• Other SDGs can also be linked to climatechange mitigation and adaptation actions.
• Climate actions (SDG 13) described incountries NDCs are aligned directly &indirectly with various SDGs target and theselinkages have the potential to generate oneway or mutual implementation benefit.

Cont’d• And Issued JCM Credits will be allocated toJapan and Participated countries to contributeto the emission reduction targets in their
NDCs which can also contribute to theachievement of their SDGs target.

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
of Bangladesh• Bangladesh has submitted INDCs on 25 September
2015• Bangladesh has proposed an unconditional
contribution to reduce GHG emissions by 5% from
Business as Usual (BAU) levels by 2030 in the power,transport and industry sectors, based on existingresources;Nationally Determined Contributions(NDCs)
 Bangladesh has proposed for a conditional(5+10)15% reduction in GHG emissions from BAU
levels by 2030 in the power, transport, and industry
sectors, subject to appropriate international support
in the form of finance, investment, technology
development and transfer, and capacity building.
 Bangladesh considered 2012 as the Base Year.
 The 3 sectors covers almost 70% of the total
emission of BD.

Baseline scenario and unconditional & conditional contributions (onlypower, transport & industry sectors’ emissions

5% 15%

NDC Implementation Roadmap• Bangladesh prepared NDC implementation
roadmap (being printed)• The Roadmap also includes sectoral actionplans for;–Power;–Industry and–Transport

How can JCM address BD NDC• So far 4 projects under JCM have been
implemented and 02 Projects implementation
activity are on going in Bangladesh.
• Estimated amount of CER issued under JCM
can contribute our NDC target as well as
achievement of SDGs target.
