SUMMARY:Countries gather to discuss Long-Term Strategies for Tackling Climate Change and Development
DESCRIPTION:A global gathering of governments\, non-state actors and development partners\, rallies countries to reflect on low-carbon development trajectories for future generations. \n\n\n\n“Countries have to deal with similar issues: how to build a grid that can integrates 100 % renewable energy\, how to deal with employment shifts\, how to use land – for food\, energy or carbon removal. Now is the time for all countries to start working on what it means for them to respond to the climate challenge while deciding what kind of development they want for their economy and their people\, ensuring the 2050 strategy addresses national priorities”\, noted Laurence Tubiana\, Convener of the 2050 Pathways Platform and CEO\, European Climate Foundation. \n\n\n\n10 July 2018\, Bangkok – Focused on incorporating efforts to address climate change into long-term development plans\, representatives of governments\, non-state actors and development partners gather today in Thailand to exchange initial ideas and experiences on formulating mid-century strategies for low-emission development. \n\n\n\nThe two-day gathering is organized by the 2050 Pathways Platform\, the LEDS Global Partnership\, the NDC Partnership\, the UN Development Programme (UNDP)\, and the World Resources Institute (WRI)\, in cooperation with the UN Climate Change (UNFCCC). Participants shared experiences\, best practices\, and expert views\, while building a community of practitioners and a pool of knowledge from which all countries can benefit. \n\n\n\nFirst called into action by the Paris Agreement on Climate Change\, these mid-century Long-term Strategies (LTS) invite countries to communicate\, by 2020\, their vision for achieving a low-emission\, sustainable economy. While many countries have developed similar strategies for the next decade\, few have taken this opportunity to lay out ‘next generations’ scenarios. \n\n\n\n“We need to act now\, to start on this journey\, and have flexibility on long-term pathways to avoid locking down carbon-intensive pathways or pathways that may not meet our economic goals\,” noted Ron Benioff\, Co-Director Low-Emissions Development Strategies Global Partnership. \n\n\n\nStephen Gold\, UNDP’s Head of Climate Change\, matched this sentiment\, emphasizing that “the timing of this discussion on Long-Term Strategies is opportune. These strategies can help countries ensure that both the 2030 sustainable development goals and long-term climate objectives are fully embedded in national development planning processes.”“It’s very tempting just to take one step at a time and say\, ‘well\, we hope we’ll get there’. Unless you know where you’re going\, unless you understand the whole point of decarbonization\, it’s going to be quite difficult for countries to get there” said Andrew Steer\, CEO of the WRI\, underlining why Long-term Strategies\, although not mandatory under the Paris Agreement\, are crucial to achieving its goals. \n\n\n\nThe workshop provided an opportunity for countries to brainstorm on critical building blocks for these mid-century strategies and share experiences. “Countries have to deal with similar issues: how to build a grid that can integrates 100 % renewable energy\, how to deal with employment shifts\, how to use land – for food\, energy or carbon removal. Now is the time for all countries to start working on what it means for them to respond to the climate challenge while deciding what kind of development they want for their economy and their people\, ensuring the 2050 strategy addresses national priorities”\, noted Laurence Tubiana\, Convener of the 2050 Pathways Platform and CEO\, European Climate Foundation. \n\n\n\nIn 2015\, nearly 200 countries took the critical step towards limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C by submitting a first round of national climate commitments to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change. Countries’ climate targets\, embedded in these pledges\, are to be ramped up every five years and require a long-term\, whole-of-society approach to transition to a low-carbon and resilient development pathway. “While the 2050 Strategies are not mandatory under the Paris agreement\, everybody needs to work together because we need this long-term perspective to make the Paris Agreement a reality”\, stated Martin Frick\, Senior Director\, UN Climate Change. \n\n\n\nThe opportunity to lay out a long-term vision for a low-carbon development pathway to guide next generation climate and development planning is now. “The 2020 due date for the first round of country commitments is quickly approaching\, and if countries can have their Long-Term Strategies ready\, they will be able to demonstrate increased ambition in the next round of national climate plans\,” said Pablo Vieira\, Global Director of the NDC Partnership\, who along with the other organizers hope that the countries leave the workshop with a clear understanding of how Long-Term Strategies can help guide the global transition towards a low-carbon development pathway. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummry Report – Acting Now For A Sustainable Tomorrow

SUMMARY:First Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Date: 24-25 April 2018Location: Paris\, France \n\n\n\n\n\nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY\n\n\n\nThe 2050 Pathways Platform held its first Annual Meeting on 24-25 April 2018 in Paris. The meeting was an opportunity for Platform countries\, regions\, cities\, partners and observers to exchange on various aspects of the development of long-term pathways\, and to reiterate the importance of long-term planning in raising climate ambition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Annual Meeting took place in the context of increased international momentum around long-term pathways. The participants brought forward their experience and questions on the pathways process including participants from regions\, cities and business\, reporting encouraging progress from their members\, thus creating space for enhanced ambition at the country level. Participants encouraged the Platform Secretariat to support technical assistance and peer-to-peer exchange on long-term strategies\, and to foster the alignment of development bank activities with Paris Agreement-compatible long-term plans. They also suggested to build on Platform’s 2050 pathways Handbook and to synthesize lessons on pathway processes and stakeholders’ engagement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe meeting successfully created a unique community of practice on long-term pathways\, addressing essential elements of their development: process and institutions; how strategies trigger near-term actions; the perspective of development banks; the integration of efforts by non-state actors in national ambition. A high-level round table organized in collaboration with the French Ministry for an Ecological and Inclusive Transition brought together ministers and representatives of seven EU countries who called for a more ambitious long-term strategy in the EU (see press release). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith its joint objectives of being a hub for discussions on ambitious long-term strategies under the Paris Agreement and providing targeted support for their elaboration\, the 2050 Pathways Platform secretariat will build on experience from members to assist countries and other members in the pursuit of ambitious\, robust and inclusive long-term strategies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttachments: \n\n\n\nOpening remarks – Laurence Tubiana – R.

SUMMARY:China’s Mid-century Strategy for Climate Mitigation: Framing and Methodologies.
DESCRIPTION:The long-term decarbonisation of economies represents a formidable challenge\, as it implies transformations in infrastructures\, technologies\, business models as well as institutions and regulations. Its feasibility also hinges on successful transitions of the work force and communities around activities unsettled by ambitious climate mitigation policy.\n\n\n\nFor China\, the first global emitter of greenhouse gases and a rapidly growing economy\, long-term decarbonisation implies many uncertainties\, challenges and opportunities. Important policy decisions (the shift from an export-oriented to a domestic-consumption growth model\, the development of the One Belt One Road project)\, ‘mega-trends’ (an ageing population\, rapid urbanisation\, digitisation…) and local environmental factors (severe air and water quality problems)\, among others\, stand to influence the needed shift to a low-carbon development model. In reverse\, the mid-century strategy to decarbonise the country has to be seen in the context of its broader economic challenges\, and as a part to their solution. The 19th Party Congress has reiterated the goal of an ecological society\, echoing the country’s support to international climate action and the Paris Agreement. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this workshop was to explore the important aspects of the transition to a low-carbon economy in China\, and in particular how economic analysis can shed light on the interaction between these multiple factors and how they can combine to support the transition.
