Linking mitigation and adaptation in long-term strategies | SEI

This discussion brief outlines early research findings regarding the alignment of long-term adaptation plans with emissions reduction goals, noting a systemic lack of integration between low-emission development strategies and adaptation strategies.

• There is a significant gap in integration between national low-emission development strategies (LEDS) and adaptation planning: LEDS typically fail to account for climate change impacts and the necessity of adaptation in their projections, while long-term adaptation strategies often ignore the effects of low-carbon pathways.
• The research identifies a priority need to document the primary barriers preventing the integration of mitigation and adaptation and to determine specific actions to overcome these obstacles.
