commit to progressively introducing clean and energy-efficient modes of transport, noting that deployment of energy-efficient vehicles will produce GHG emission reductions of 40.8 GgCO2e in 2020, 114.5 GgCO2e in 2025 and 193.3 GgCO2e in 2030.




commit to introducing efficient, green, renewable and sustainable energy sources to&nbsp;power our economy and meet our domestic and household needs. The implementation of renewable energy sources will contribute to GHG reductions of 78.5 GgCO2e in 2025 and 104 GgCO2e in 2030.




Strive to maintain 30% of the total land area of The Gambia under forest cover, with further efforts to implement afforestation actions which will contribute reductions of 275.4 GgCO2e in 2025 and 330.5 GgCO2e in 2030




To reserve, maintain and develop forest land resources including mangroves ecosystem covering at least 30% of total land area which is capable of environmental protection  by 2019

To ensure that 75% of forest lands are managed and protected according to forest management principles and plans in order to increase forest resource base  by 2019

At least 20% of the total land area will be under effective forest management by 2015

Gambia 7th National Report. NR7 (2026)

The CBD National Targets Submitted by Gambia (the)

The project aims to strengthen climate information and early warning systems in The Gambia and Tanzania by improving the generation, delivery, and use of climate data and services to enhance resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate-related hazards. It will modernize meteorological and hydrological infrastructure, establish multi-hazard early warning systems, and enhance institutional coordination across national and local levels. The project also promotes user-centered climate services for sectors such as agriculture, water, and disaster risk reduction, while ensuring accessibility of information to farmers, women, and youth.
