First nationally determined contribution

By decision 1/CP.21, paragraph 22, the Conference of the Parties (COP) invited Parties to communicate their first nationally determined contribution (NDC) no later than when the Party submits its respective instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession. If a Party has communicated an intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) prior to joining the Agreement, that Party shall be considered to have satisfied this provision unless that Party decides otherwise.
