Fig. 5: Comparison of climate mitigation potential (GtCO2 yr−1) from the maximum restoration scenario between countries committed and uncommitted to the FWC across NDC types.

From: Mapping global freshwater ecosystems to guide national restoration targets and nature-based solutions

Fig. 5

Three of the eight countries committed to the FWC and with absolute reduction NDCs (Norway, Moldova and Tajikistan) were not included in this figure because their mitigation potential (as defined in this study) is negligible. NDC types included in the ‘Other’ category are gross domestic product (GDP) intensity reduction, actions only, trajectory target, BAU not specified, per capita intensity reduction, cumulative emission target and unspecified. More information on these NDC types can be found in ref. 52.
