STRATEGIE DE DEVELOPPEMENT A LONG TERME A FAIBLE EMISSION DE CARBONE ET RESILIENT AU CLIMAT DU TOGO

Togo's LT-LEDS 2025-2060 aims for carbon neutrality by 2060 through a 'conforming' scenario, focusing on the AFAT (Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use) and Energy sectors. The strategy requires an estimated investment of 11,920.59 billion FCFA (19.87 billion USD), with 67% allocated to mitigation and 28% to adaptation. Key goals include increasing forest cover to 30% by 2050 and achieving 75% renewable energy in the energy mix by 2060. The document also details a comprehensive adaptation plan for sectors including health, water resources, and coastal zones, while integrating gender equity and social inclusion into climate action.

• Togo aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 under its 'conforming' scenario, which is described as the most realistic path based on sector-specific targets and planning documents.
• The total investment required to implement the LT-LEDS by 2060 is estimated at 11,920.59 billion FCFA (approximately 19.87 billion USD).
• Investment needs are distributed as 8,014.93 billion FCFA (67%) for mitigation, 3,344.66 billion FCFA (28%) for adaptation, and 561 billion FCFA (5%) for transversal aspects such as education, research, and ICT.
• The AFAT (Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use) sector is identified as the primary contributor to carbon neutrality, with a specific goal to increase forest cover to 30% by 2050.
• The energy sector, including transport, is the second most critical area for mitigation, targeting a renewable energy share of 75% in the energy mix by 2060.
• Economic analysis indicates a high return on investment for the strategy, with a cost-benefit ratio (CBR) of 9.31 and a net present value (NPV) of 32,987.2 billion FCFA.
• The energy sector is the most profitable investment area with a CBR of 28.1, while the waste sector is the least profitable with a CBR of 1.5.
• Togo's coastal zone is highly vulnerable, with coastal erosion causing a shoreline retreat of 3 to 5 meters per year on average, and up to 10 to 12 meters in extreme segments.
• Climate projections for 2030 indicate temperature increases across all regions, with the Kara region expected to see a rise of 1.94 to 1.96°C.
• The strategy identifies significant gender-based vulnerabilities, noting that women are overrepresented in subsistence agriculture and face limited access to land and financial resources.
• To manage the LT-LEDS, Togo proposes a governance structure led by the Ministry of Planning and Development, with the Ministry of Environment as the technical arm and the Ministry of Economy and Finance as the financial arm.
• The strategy includes 178 total measures: 55 for mitigation and 123 for adaptation across priority sectors.
