Because the current NDCs are not sufficient to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, new NDCs are submitted every five years to the UN. The intention is for each country to get more ambitious in its targets, based on the goals of the Paris Agreement. Each country establishes different goals. For example, the EU has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030<ref>[https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/strategies/2030_en EU 2030 Climate & Energy Framework]</ref> and the UK by 78 percent by 2035<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-enshrines-new-target-in-law-to-slash-emissions-by-78-by-2035 UK enshrines new target in law to slash emissions by 78% by 2035]</ref>. France and the UK are among countries that have made reaching net zero by 2050 a legal requirement. Japan, South Africa, Argentina, Mexico and the EU have all announced goals to reach net zero by 2050<ref name=":7" />.
