Launch of Long-term Strategies Initiative

Date: May 3, 13:15 – 14:45 CEST

WRI and UNDP, working closely with the UNFCCC, have launched a project that provides resources that all countries can use to create mid-century, long-term low-GHG emission development strategies (“long-term strategies”) which underpin the transformative potential of the Paris Agreement. By catalyzing a process by which decision-makers across key sectors of the economy re-think policy, development, and technology pathways, long-term strategies offer the opportunity to facilitate the alignment of national action with the Paris goals.
