The register keeps changing after the book is fixed in print. Each entry below was added to this row in the order shown.
RETRIEVED AND READ 22 AUGUST 2026. IT MAKES RETRIEVAL H2 AS A SCOPED FINDING, WHICH THE GATE HAD RECORDED AS FAILED. The registry page itself is still unreadable to this process and the seven failed routes stay recorded at SRC-339; this is the secretariat's own published account of what the registry contains, which is a document rather than a page and is therefore retrievable. WHAT IT COVERS, VERBATIM FROM ITS SUMMARY: 'This report synthesizes information from the 64 new nationally determined contributions communicated by 64 Parties to the Paris Agreement and recorded in the registry of nationally determined contributions BETWEEN 1 JANUARY 2024 AND 30 SEPTEMBER 2025.' THE 64 PARTIES ARE ENUMERATED BY NAME in a footnote: 'Andorra, Angola, Australia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Botswana, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Holy See, Iceland, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, LEBANON, Lesotho, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Madagascar, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Micronesia (Federated States of), Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Niue, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Saint Lucia, Sao Tome and Principe, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Tonga, Tuvalu, United Arab Emirates, United Kin[gdom]...'. THE SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC IS NOT AMONG THEM, AND THE WORD SYRIA RETURNS ZERO OCCURRENCES ACROSS ALL 54 PAGES. LEBANON IS IN THE LIST, which matters because it shows the region is represented and Syria's absence is not an artefact of coverage. THE PERMITTED FORM AND ITS LIMIT, AND THE LIMIT IS THE WHOLE POINT. This document supports: the UNFCCC secretariat's synthesis of every new NDC recorded in the registry between 1 January 2024 and 30 September 2025 lists 64 Parties by name and Syria is not one of them. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT anything about the period after 30 September 2025, or before 1 January 2024. The source manuscript says 'As of July 2026, Syria still has no updated NDC'; this document ends nine months earlier and cannot carry that sentence on its own. WHAT CARRIES THE LATER PERIOD, and it is corroboration rather than proof: the World Bank's appraisal document of 9 June 2025 at SRC-351 states that its project 'aligns with Syria's climate priorities, as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) submitted in 2018'; the Green Climate Fund's SAP072 of 23 July 2026 at SRC-004 aligns to 'Syria's Nationally Determined Contribution (2018)'; Climate Change Laws of the World at SRC-339 lists only NDC1 of 2018; and Al Jazeera at SRC-340 records the head of state at COP30 in November 2025 announcing no target and no timeline. FOUR INSTITUTIONS PROCEEDING ON A 2018 DOCUMENT IS THE EVIDENCE, and it is stronger than an absence claim about a registry nobody can read. TWO CAUTIONS THE REPORT PUTS ON ITSELF: the 64 NDCs cover 'about 30 per cent of total global emissions in 2019', and 'It is not possible to draw wide-ranging global-level conclusions or inferences from this limited data set.' Neither bears on the Syrian point, which is about presence in an enumerated list, but both are recorded because the document says them. STATUS READ_IN_PART: the summary, the executive summary's opening and the enumeration of Parties are read; the substantive chapters on mitigation, adaptation and finance are not.
