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

The Paris Agreement invites the parties to submit long-term strategies (LTS) for greenhouse gas neutrality. The project equips partner countries with tools to develop them and better link them to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). To this end, it supports various formats of stakeholder consultations, in which international donors also take part. In these, experiences are exchanged in order to create favorable conditions for net-zero LTS in selected countries. The countries participating in the in-depth implementation phase of the project are finally selected in close consultation with the German government. In order to achieve a multiplier effect, the knowledge gained is shared beyond the project.
