Chile has released an updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0), committing to a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission budget of up to 1,100 MtCO2eq between 2020 and 2030, with peak GHG emissions by 2025 and a maximum emission level of 95 MtCO2eq by 2030. The national GHG emission budget must not exceed 480 MtCO2eq between 2030 and 2035. As well, Chile aims to cut energy intensity by 20% by 2035 compared to 2019, and to reach at least 80% of renewable power generation by 2030.
Sectoral mitigation plans should be implemented by the Ministries of Transport and Telecommunications, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Mining, Public Works, Health (Waste), and Agriculture, to ensure compliance with the national GHG emissions budget by 2030. To ensure GHG emissions from the transport sector peak by 2030, the Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) roadmap will be updated by 2027 and the National Sustainable Mobility Strategy will be updated by 2028; as well a roadmap for renewable fuels in long-distance land, sea, and rail freight transport will be developed by 2028.
Chile also aims at cutting black carbon emissions, by at least 25% by 2030 and at least 30% by 2035 compared to 2016, and to lower PM2.5 concentrations to less than 18 µg/Nm3. The country is committed to reversing the upward trend in domestic methane emissions (excluding LULUCF), committing to a 10% reduction by 2035, compared to the historical peak emissions.
