Long-term strategies in a changing climate

The document examines the challenges of aligning long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LT-LEDS) with global adaptation goals. It explores the potential for combined, synergistic strategies that ensure emission reductions are climate-resilient and that long-term adaptation plans align with mitigation targets, specifically within the framework of the Paris Agreement.

• The Paris Agreement requires Parties to create long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LT-LEDS), which generally project out to 2050, though only eleven Parties had submitted them to the UNFCCC by early 2019.
• There is a critical need to integrate adaptation goals into LT-LEDS to ensure they are climate resilient, and conversely, to ensure that national adaptation plans—the primary vehicle for long-term adaptation planning—align with emission reduction goals.
• As both mitigation and adaptation planning shift toward long-term perspectives, there is an emerging question regarding the transition to combined, synergistic strategies that are both low carbon and climate resilient.
