The 2050 Pathways Platform has received funding from Germany’s International Climate Initiative (IKI), to support specific countries in “Laying the foundations for long-term low emission development strategies (LTS)” (see project page). The project will equip countries with tools to develop robust, ambitious LT-LEDS, with the aim for countries to start with the elaboration of the long-term vision (LTV) documents as a first contribution towards the elaboration of the LT-LEDS, to align their short-term planning with their long-term objectives, and/or to help translate climate objectives into sectoral workplans for implementation.
The Government of Senegal has expressed interest in being part of the project and developing their NDC 3.0 with a consultative engagement with sectoral ministries and technical inputs from a modelling effort, ensuring alignment with the country’s long-term climate objectives, such as the LT-LEDS and the Ecological Transition Plan. As such, the 2050 Pathways Platform is seeking proposals from firms to lead the delivery of outputs from the project in Senegal.
The expected outputs from the project are:
a. NDC 3.0: Senegal wishes to update its NDC employing in-country sectoral experts and following a consultative approach and a methodological modelling framework developed in collaboration with technical experts and to submit it to UNFCCC by the fourth quarter of 2025.
b. Implementation roadmaps for the country’s short-, medium-, and long-term climate and development objectives: a document integrating an analysis of the country’s short, medium and long-term trajectories and corresponding list of measures across sectors for the delivery of the defined goals.
c. Cost-benefit analysis of Senegal’s roadmaps for the country’s short, medium and longterm climate and development objectives: informing the financial requirements and net benefits that inform the prioritisation of measures and schedule of implementation
d. Local capacity building: to enable the future in-country use and update of the models and tools developed under this project for outputs a, b and c above.
The outputs of the project should be the result of a well-organised process under the leadership and guidance of the Ministry of Environment, Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition of Senegal and other relevant ministries, as well as robust technical analysis reflecting inputs from key government stakeholders and broad national development priorities.
