Tanzania
Tanzania's Climate Change Overview and Commitments
Tanzania, officially known as the United Republic of Tanzania, is an East African nation situated within the African Great Lakes region. Bordered by Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Indian Ocean, Tanzania is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. With a population of approximately 62 million, Tanzania is significantly affected by climate change, facing challenges like droughts, floods, and extreme weather events that disrupt livelihoods and hinder economic growth.
Tanzania has ratified key international climate agreements, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1996 and the Paris Agreement in 2018.
The impacts of climate change are already evident in the country, affecting agriculture, water resources, public health, energy, infrastructure, and biodiversity. These effects threaten Tanzania’s ability to achieve its economic growth and sustainable development goals.
In response, Tanzania’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) outlines a comprehensive strategy for both adaptation and mitigation, aimed at building resilience to climate change impacts and contributing to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The NDC aligns with the Paris Agreement’s goals of limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C, with efforts to cap it at 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Tanzania commits to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 30-35% below the Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario by 2030.
This commitment is dependent on adequate international financial and technological support.
The NDC is guided by the National Climate Change Response Strategy (2021) and the Zanzibar Climate Change Strategy (2014), which aim to enhance adaptive capacity, support long-term resilience, and ensure participation in global mitigation efforts while promoting sustainable development.
