Setting Up The Scene: Best Practices and Lessons Learned in the Development of LT-LEDS
2025-02-26 15:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Paris) | Online
The 2050 is Now Consortium is a group of partners dedicated to providing governments and in-country research institutions with the tools and analysis needed to strengthen long-term low emission development strategies (LT-LEDS) and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions in line with national development goals. The 2050 is Now webinar series will invite experts from around the world to explore best practices and lessons learned on LT-LEDS topics.
The 2050 Pathways Platform is delighted to invite you to the first session of this series where speakers from leading institutions and governments will explore the development of LT-LEDS at the national level. As more than 30 countries are in the process of developing or updating their LT-LEDS, this session will provide insights into essential aspects of the formulation process and benefits of developing an LT-LEDS, present an overview of the global state of LT-LEDS, and highlight the next steps on the road to COP30 to enhance ambition around long-term climate and development goals.
This session will end with a Q&A with the audience. We look forward to welcoming you!

Bridging the Gap: Aligning Long-Term Strategies with NDCs
2025-03-26 15:00 - 16:30
While the world gears up for the submission of new national climate plans (known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs) this year, another document—Long-Term Low-Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS or LTS)—may actually hold the key to maximizing their impact. Ensuring alignment between near-term NDCs and long-term strategies is essential for achieving deep decarbonization and sustainable development. But how can policymakers bridge the gap between immediate climate action and long-term goals? This webinar will explore key frameworks, practical approaches, and country experiences to enhance coherence between these crucial planning tools.
Experts from leading climate organizations and government representatives will discuss real-world examples of LT-LEDS and NDC alignment, highlighting challenges, lessons learned, and best practices.
