Summary/Abstract: The article analyses Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) - an instrument of international climate protection policy in the model shaped by the provisions of the Paris Agreement. The NDCs are an universal, flexible, cyclical and transparent instrument for achieving the long-term goal. Universality signifies the commitment on the part of all parties to the Paris Agreement, while allowing for flexibility in the scope of their commitments to take national circumstances into account. The conducted analysis has demonstrated the complexity of international climate protection policy using NDCs as an example, as well as the difficulties in developing a long-lasting solution.
