1.Quantifiable information on the reference point (including, as appropriate, a base year)
(a) Reference year, base year,
reference period or other starting
points
(b) Quantifiable information on the
reference indicators, their values in
the reference year, base year,
reference period and or other
starting points and as applicable in
the target year
(c) For strategies, plans and
actions referred to in Article 4,
paragraph 6, of the Paris
Agreement, or polices and
measures as components of
nationally determined
contributions where paragraph
1(b) above is not applicable,
Parties to provide other relevant
information;
(d) Target relative to the reference
indicator, expressed numerically,
for example in percentage or
amount of reduction
(e) Information on sources of data
used in quantifying the reference
point:
The reference year for the target is 2030 and the target is expressed relative to
business-as-usual emissions in this year.
.
Business-as-usual emissions in the energy sector in 2030: 454 ktCO
Business-as-usual GHG emissions in the refrigeration and air
conditioning (RAC) sector in 2030: 329.9 ktCO being 22.5 ktCO, from
refrigerants, 307.4 ktCO2, from energy use
Business-as-usual emissions (gasoline vehicles) in transport sector in
2030: 241.5 ktCO2
.
Business-as-usual methane emissions in the waste sector (landfill) in
2030: 89 ktCO
Total business-as-usual emissions in 2030 of the above NDC sectors:
1,114.4 kICO
Seychelles is a SIDS with greater carbon sequestration than greenhouse gas
emission. It remains vulnerable to climate change in particular to sea level
rise, increase in sea surface temperature, ocean acidification, flooding, high
intensity rainfall and coastal erosion. The impacts are so severe and wide
ranging that successful economic development is greatly threatened by
climate change. The implementation of sectoral strategies important to SIDS'
development is seen as the main adaptation strategy to climate change.
