  "account": "Algeria has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 14% by 2035, a commitment fully funded by domestic resources. However, the country is open to increasing this target to 31% if international assistance is forthcoming, as reported by the state news agency APS. Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune conveyed this message to the COP31 summit in Antalya, Turkey, where Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb read it on Thursday (12). This reduction target is included in Algeria's nationally determined contribution (NDC), a formal climate action plan outlining how each nation intends to lower its greenhouse gas emissions and tackle climate change. President Tebboune emphasized the need to convert this contribution into real national policies and projects. He highlighted the initiation, funded domestically, of the first phase of a program with the goal of reaching 15,000 megawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2035. Other measures include the inception of a national hydrogen strategy, a strong focus on energy efficiency and improvements in public transportation, and initiatives to ensure water security through methods like seawater desalination and the reuse of treated wastewater.",
