Abstract: This Mitigation Technical Analysis Report (MTAR) provides the evidence base for the prioritised climate change mitigation actions in the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022. It is underpinned by the understanding that climate change is the most serious global challenge of our time, and it is important that countries do not only implement actions that enhance adaptation to the already changing climate, but also act to mitigate further global temperature rise. The Paris Agreement, adopted at the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP 21), chats a new course in the global climate effort by building upon the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and, for the first time, bringing nearly all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with enhanced support to assist developing countries.
