7. NRAP Specific Objectives contributes to INDC for
the period 2021 - 2030:
Stabilize the natural forest area by 2030 at, at least, the
same level as 2020 (14.4 million hectares), and
increase forest cover up to 43% of national territory,
contributing to realize the national target of reducing
total greenhouse gas emissions by 8% by 2030
compared with business as usual (BAU) scenario as
committed in the Paris Agreement on climate change.
This contribution may increase to 25% if receiving
international support.
