Ecuador adopts second NDC 2026-2035 as national policy

Ecuador's presidency has formally implemented its second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for the Paris Agreement, covering 2026-2035, as national public policy via Executive Decree No. 503. The decree codifies the NDC approved by the Interinstitutional Climate Change Committee, signaling a binding commitment to climate targets. This institutionalizes Ecuador's climate pledges, potentially affecting energy and land-use policy, but specific emission reduction figures remain unspecified.
