A pathway design framework for national low greenhouse gas emission development strategies

International audienceThe Paris Agreement introduces long-term strategies as an instrument to inform progressively more ambitious emission reduction objectives, while holding development goals paramount in context of national circumstances. In the lead up to COP21, the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project developed mid-century low-emission pathways for 16 countries, based on an innovative pathway design framework. In this perspective we describe this framework and show how it can support the development of sectorally and technologically detailed and policy-relevant country-driven strategies consistent with the Paris Agreement climate goal. We also discuss how this framework can be used to engage stakeholder input and buy-in; design implementation policy packages; reveal necessary technological, financial and institutional enabling conditions; and support global stock-taking and ratcheting of ambition

2050 low-emission pathways: domestic benefits and methodological insights – Lessons from the DDPP

IDDRI Issue brief n°15/16This Issue Brief examines the benefits that can be derived from the establishment of long-term decarbonization strategies at the national level. Such national strategies are essential facilitators of international dialogue towards more ambitious and effective action at domestic level.Cet Issue Brief analyse les bénéfices qui peuvent être tirés de l’établissement de stratégies de long terme à l’échelle nationale, potentiel outil facilitateur incontournable du dialogue international vers plus d’ambition et de l’efficacité de l’action à l’échelle domestique
