In response to policy and technology changes, a cement manufacturer looks for new opportunities to raise profits by reducing GHG emissions. Because the cement industry accounts for a considerable percentage of global emissions, the manufacturer joins a coalition of company peers. The coalition lobbies country governments to adhere to the Paris Agreement nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
Which of the following actions does the coalition recommend?
- Aligned the first round of NDCs with a 2°C warming limit, followed by a second round of a 1.5°C limit.
- Set 2019-2022 NDCs at a smaller scale to comply with the “ratchet” mechanism.
- Tighten NDCs and report NDC progress every 5 years at COP meetings.
- Revise NDC targets annually and submit to the UN for review and approval.
