Making Long-Term Low GHG Emissions Development Strategies a Reality

A guide to policy makers on how to approach the development of a long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategy (LTS) given the unique circumstances of individual countries in 2020, and future revisions thereof. The guide’s recommendations build upon three key concepts for consideration by policy makers: 1. LTS should be an ongoing exercise in creating a vision for the future of a low emissions economy. 2. Development of an LTS can be guided by three levels of comprehensiveness ranging from a base level to a detailed level. 3. The guidance identified eight key aspects of LTSs for consideration by policy makers.
