On December 28, 2020, Maldives submitted its updated NDC.

Maldives has slightly enhanced its mitigation ambition and commits to reaching net-zero emissions by 2030 if international support and assistance are received.

According to the Checklist for the NDCs We Want and taking and into account that Maldives is a vulnerable country with an upper-middle economy and represents around 0.003% of global emissions, we consider that the 2020 NDC has a Short Way to go to become the NDC We Want.
