INDCs are a vehicle for countries to define their goals/targets for mitigation. In case of developed countries these would most likely be in form of economy-wide reduction targets; developing countries with higher capabilities are expected to take economywide goals (reduction compared to BAU or GHG intensity reduction compared to base year); and, other developing countries as policy/sectoral goals such that quantum of emission reductions can be easily estimated. Countries can make use of NAMAs as an implementation tool to achieve goal/target included in INDCs. In this context present NAMAs that go beyond 2020 could be continued to be implemented as part of INDCs post-2020. Capacities and institutions built in countries for identifying, developing and implementing NAMAs, including MRV, would help countries develop their INDCs and implement mitigations actions to achieve their goals/targets in the INDCs.
