Under the Paris Agreement, countries are required to submit Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which outline their climate action plans, including emission reduction targets. The agreement is legally binding in terms of the process (e.g., submitting NDCs, reporting progress, undergoing review), but the specific emission reduction targets within the NDCs are self-determined by each country, not set by the Agreement itself. There are no internationally legally binding enforcement mechanisms to compel a country to achieve its specific NDC target. Therefore, none of the countries listed are legally bound by emission reduction targets set by the Paris Agreement. They are legally bound by the agreement to pursue their self-determined NDCs.
