A potential to further reduce emissions in the energy sector to a level between 37.5 and 45.8% compared to BAU’s
baseline has also been calculated. This potential can be tapped in the light of the appropriate circumstances in terms
of the availability of resources and support offered by the international community. This is a second scenario
dependent on international support and will translate into a reduction in emissions per capita in 2025 of 40% below
BAU levels. In addition, conservation, reforestation and forest restoration measures, especially for the period comprised between 2017 and 2025, depend on international financial support. The NDC mentions that REDD+ activities related to
emissions and removals (degradation, increase of carbon stocks, conservation and forest management sustainable)
will be incorporated gradually as long as there is international financing and appropriate national circumstances.
The target for an emissions reduction of 9% compared to the scenario for 2025 (unconditional) could go up to 20.9%
in the same period, if international cooperation support is given (conditional). For the LULUCF sector, the emissions
reduction target of 4% (unconditional) could and up to 16% (conditional), with a possible total reduction of GHG
emissions of 20% in comparison to the reference level for the year 2025. Ecuador intends to reduce its emissions in
the energy sector in 20.4-25% (unconditional) to 37.5- 45.8% (conditional) by 2025.
