At the opening of the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) on Nov. 10, parties were expected to submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) ahead of the summit. According to the official UN registry, more than half of the 11 ASEAN member states have submitted their 2035 climate targets on time, with three countries doing so in just the past two weeks.
