The main mitigation contribution for PNG would be in terms of an indicative replacement of fossil fuelled electricity generation with renewable energy sources. PNG will opt for a national target in the electricity sector in terms of becoming carbon free by a 2030 target date. Other mitigation options are energy efficiency, oil & gas sector, transport and forestry/land use.

PNG submitted their Intended nationally determined contributions (INDC) to the UNFCCC Secretariat on the 30th of September 2015.

No further revisions were undertaken and the same document was endorsed and submitted as the First nationally determined contributions on 24th March 2016.
