Yet, the formerly strict divide appears to become blurrier in the 2nd NDCs.
Emerging & industrialized economies (Umbrella, EU, BASIC) present plans for green growth.
In contrast, developing countries with lower income (LDCs) emphasize conventional growth plans to combat poverty.

When states prioritize some norms over others, this continues to align with the annex divide despite the Paris Agreement’s decreasing differentiation, reflecting differences in domestic circumstances (e.g, vulnerability, income).

We then link these (inductively identified) topics to the norms derived from the UNFCCC and compare the respective topics of 1st and 2nd NDCs to look for continuity and change.

We use quantitative text analysis (topic modeling) to map the topics states address in their 1st and 2nd NDCs. Words that show up together in docs are grouped, allowing us to assign labels based on keywords and a qualitative assessment of texts. #textasdata.

We study the changes in how states translate the norms embedded in @UNFCCC in their climate policy pledges, comparing 1st NDCs (from 2015-16) with 2nd NDCs (2020-21).
We find many similarities, but two innovations stand out in the second NDCs: Low-carbon economy & human rights!
