Laying the foundations for long-term low-emission development strategies (LTS)

The project equips five countries with tools to develop robust and ambitious long-term strategies (LTS) under Article 4.19 of the Paris Agreement and to enable their submission to the UNFCCC, as well as to better align NDCs with LTS. It supports partner countries in developing a long-term vision and an LTS work programme in an initial LTS framework or - if they are already more advanced - in developing full LTS and implementation plans. In addition, the project supports three other countries and Senegal in aligning short, medium and long-term goals and translating them into sectoral work plans. This is done through direct work in the countries, close cooperation with development and knowledge partners, including the NDCP, and through the creation and dissemination of knowledge products.
