11th December 2020 Botswana has, through the Department of Meteorological Services (DMS), promised to maintain the target of 15 per cent reduction of emission of Green House Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. In 2015 countries outlined what climate actions they intended to take under the new international agreement, known as their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). These determine whether the world achieves the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement: to hold the increase in global average temperature to well below two degrees Celsius, to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and to achieve net zero emissions in the second half of this century. Botswana submitted her NDC in October 2015
