This paper provides an assessment of the integration of Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in the current Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), SCP-linked NDC within the framework of the 13th Five Year Plan (FYP) of the Royal Government of Bhutan to assess key potential areas for integration in the NDC 3.0. The assessment on SCP integration in the current NDC presents close linkages across various sectors including agriculture, industry, energy, and waste management. Education and training, water management, and the tourism sector are priorities in SCP but are not reflected in the NDC. Other key NDC priority sectors including forest conservation and sustainable management, human settlement, and surface transport, currently show limited alignment with SCP strategies. Despite forest management and human settlement not being designated as primary SCP focus areas, they can be identified as critical enablers for implementing SCP and circular economy principles within these sectoral contexts.
