SUMMARY:Annual Meeting 2022
DESCRIPTION:he 2050 Pathways Platform secretariat held its 2022 annual meeting in early April. The four invitation-only virtual sessions held on April 6\, 7\, 12\, and 13 provided an opportunity for Platform member countries\, partners\, and guest speakers to showcase their experiences with developing long-term strategies (LTS)\, and to highlight some important lessons and aspects of long-term planning. Participants and observers from a range of countries and organizations enriched the discussions. Each session lasted one hour and a half and featured several presentations centered on a different theme relating to LTS. Session 1 was organized around the foundations of LTS development\, while session 2 delved in on experiences and case studies in stakeholder engagement during the LTS process. Session 3 expanded on funding for LTS design\, and session 4 focused on the macroeconomic\, financial\, and policy implications of the transition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: Laying the foundations for long-term low-emission development strategies (LTS) \n\n\n\nThis session opened our 2022 annual meeting series\, by giving a short overview of the current status of long-term strategies (LTS) worldwide and of different development stages of a country’s LTS. These stages include the foundational work\, the overall LTS formulation\, and the post-LTS operationalisation and implementation work. Specific focus was given on the first stage and on long-term visions as foundations of and necessities for LTS. Following the introduction from the 2050 Pathways Platform team\, the session dived into how to adapt LTS to specific country contexts\, with an example from SIDS and LDCs\, and on how to balance out the opportunities and challenges of elaborating LTS. Moreover\, the session presented best practice on two aspects of LTS that have so far been neglected slightly\, adaptation and AFOLU\, and a specific country case of carbon neutrality of the AFOLU sector in Argentina. Lastly\, the session closed with a presentation on the role of energy sufficiency as a key enabler to build long-term sustainability. \n\n\n\nDownload Session 1 Presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 2: Engaging stakeholders in the context of long-term low-emission development strategies \n\n\n\nAn integral part of the long-term strategy development process\, stakeholder engagement and communication throughout the policy creation cycle can ensure cross-societal buy-in. During the second session of the series\, speakers from Peru\, South Korea\, Japan\, and South Africa shared their country experiences for a whole-of-government and cross-societal LTS process with broad participation of stakeholders in various stages of LTS elaboration and implementation. Country representatives gave insights on ways their governments approached a participatory process at the national and local levels\, through meetings of different formats\, public consultations\, gathering of contributions\, and socialisation of documents\, giving concrete examples of the types of stakeholders convened at each stage. Finally\, the session concluded with an overview of how climate citizens’ assemblies have been growing in traction\, showing that when carefully planned\, these can be a powerful tool to engage the citizenry in the climate policy process. \n\n\n\nDownload Session 2 Presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 3: International funding for LTS design and implementation \n\n\n\nCountries worldwide are developing long-term strategies to inform the transition to just\, net-zero and climate-resilient societies. Whilst this is encouraging\, many countries are yet to develop LTS that can help navigate the transition\, particularly LDCs and AOSIS\, which will require support from the international community. In addition\, the majority of LTS submitted will require further support to define the specific medium- and short-term actions required to achieve the end objectives and to implement the transformations required. To address this gap\, bilateral and multilateral development partners are expanding support areas for LTS. In this session\, we learned that bilateral development agencies have dedicated support for LTS design with ongoing work in multiple countries covering all aspects of LTS design process\, from visioning\, and scenario modelling\, to stakeholder engagement and capacity building. Development Banks are also supporting multiple aspects of LTS design and implementation using different approaches such as Policy-Based Loans\, the inclusion of analytical information on the transition in country analysis\, generation of relevant research\, south-south exchanges\, and mechanisms such as the Climate Support Facility\, the Deep Decarbonization Pathways LAC program and a joint MDBs LTS Facility under discussion. All partners underlined that LTS can inform ambitious NDC revisions\, policy reforms and financing approaches to mainstream climate action into development planning​. In addition\, speakers highlighted the need to enhance support for in-country coordination and to increase funding available\, particularly in regions with a lack of capacity. \n\n\n\nDownload Session 3 Presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 4: Policy and development planning: the macro-economic and financial implications of the transition \n\n\n\nMost long-term strategies to date have focused their modelling work on the – much needed – description of what economies and societies would look like without greenhouse gas emissions by the middle of this century. The question of how to get there requires that countries face the macro-economic aspects of the transition. This includes anticipating the socio-economic repercussions of sectoral changes\, the unavoidable redistributive impacts as households invest in fossil-free energy solutions\, and myriads of budgetary decisions to adjust fiscal measures\, creating incentives for a swift transition and removing subsidies to GHG-emitting practices. The session described the many elements of this critical dimension of policymaking\, the importance of getting the early involvement of Ministries of Economy and Finance with the use of dedicated indicators as part of the LTS elaboration. Last but not least\, the session stressed that climate change itself is already having\, and will increasingly have impacts on economies as well\, which must also be reflected in the projections of socio-economic development to the middle of this century. \n\n\n\nDownload Session 4 Presentations

SUMMARY:Marshall Islands Hosts Partnership Dialogue to Accelerate Climate Action\, Confirms Will Bring Forward a New and More Ambitious NDC by 2020
DESCRIPTION:Event outlined national priorities for urgent and ambitious implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change through an NDC Partnership Plan to increase collaboration with domestic and global partners and helped lay out a long-term 2050 vision to reach net zero emissions and boost climate resilience \n\n\n\n“It is the first time we will see a country’s climate strategy to 2050 that describes so well the immediate steps that are needed to put the economy on the path to decarbonization and climate resilience. There is always a risk of developing such a long-term vision independently from ongoing policy and decision-making processes. Instead\, the Marshall Islands has decided to integrate the challenges of the next generation into today’s decisions\,” said Richard Baron\, Executive Director of the 2050 Pathways Platform \n\n\n\nThe Republic of the Marshall Islands hosted a Partnership Dialogue on Climate Change on Monday to accelerate implementation of its nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement by outlining priorities to mobilize domestic and global partners and align resources to the country’s most urgent needs as identified in its draft NDC Partnership Plan for climate action\, and confirmed it will bring forward a new and more ambitious NDC by 2020. The event also helped lay the ground work for a long-term vision that builds on the country’s short-term goals\, including through reaching net zero emissions by 2050 and boosting climate resilience. The Partnership Dialogue followed the country’s 2nd National Climate Change Dialogue last week\, which brought together stakeholders and the public from across the island nation. \n\n\n\n“This Partnership Dialogue is the next step in a participatory and consultative process to detail the Marshall Islands’ plan for acting on climate change\,” said President Hilda C. Heine at the event. “This is about achieving our ambitious first NDC under the Paris Agreement\, as well as looking toward a vision for the future with a long-term strategy to 2050. We are looking to accelerate immediate actions in the areas of mitigation\, adaptation and resilience\, and important crosscutting areas such as capacity building. We hope to do this with the support of partners present at this event\, and other members of the NDC Partnership and beyond\, including the private sector.” \n\n\n\nPresident Heine added\, “The Marshall Islands will continue to lead by example. The future of our people depends on the global response to climate change.” \n\n\n\nThe Marshall Islands NDC Partnership Plan identifies six priority areas: mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and a reduced dependence on fossil fuels; adaptation and resilience against the effects of a changing climate; fully integrating gender and human rights measures throughout the country’s response to climate change; capacity building so all Marshallese women\, men and youth can contribute to the country’s NDC; coordinated climate policy\, finance and data to ensure a whole-of-government and whole-of-society response to climate change; and global leadership and ambition. \n\n\n\nAt the Partnership Dialogue\, national and global partners began mapping available programs and resources to help the country meet the activities it outlined to achieve results in these priority areas. These discussions will continue over the next several months\, and there will be need for additional partners to respond to the country’s needs. The Marshall Islands NDC Partnership Plan is a living document and will continue to be reviewed and updated when and where necessary in collaboration with partners. \n\n\n\n“If we fail in tackling climate change for the Marshall Islands\, if we lose our way\, we will have lost the fight\,” said NDC Partnership Support Unit Global Director Pablo Vieira at the Partnership Dialogue. “Members of the NDC Partnership and others want to respond to the needs identified by the government to make sure that does not happen.” \n\n\n\n“It is noteworthy that a country that only emits .00001% of global greenhouse gases still proposes to take ambitious mitigation actions\,” he added. “The Marshall Islands continues to be one of the most vocal and recognized voices on the urgent need to combat climate change\, because there is so much at stake. The very future of these island communities depends on whether or not countries take their commitments to the Paris Agreement seriously.” \n\n\n\nThe Marshall Islands NDC commits the country to reducing emissions by 32 percent by 2025 (from 2010 levels). President Heine also confirmed the Marshall Islands will finalize a long-term 2050 Strategy to reach net zero emissions and boost climate resilience by August with a view to launching it in September of this year – making it one of the first countries in the world to anchor its short-term NDC implementation under the framework of a longer-term 2050 Strategy. Through its convening of the High Ambition Coalition\, the Marshall Islands has been encouraging other countries to urgently increase global ambition by 2020 and to adopt 2050 Strategies consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement\, including by charting a course to net zero emissions. \n\n\n\n“It is the first time we will see a country’s climate strategy to 2050 that describes so well the immediate steps that are needed to put the economy on the path to decarbonization and climate resilience. There is always a risk of developing such a long-term vision independently from ongoing policy and decision-making processes. Instead\, the Marshall Islands has decided to integrate the challenges of the next generation into today’s decisions\,” said Richard Baron\, Executive Director of the 2050 Pathways Platform. “This approach\, replicated by other larger emitters\, will allow us to meet the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.” \n\n\n\nThe Republic of Marshall Islands was one of the first countries to join the NDC Partnership and is currently the developing island nation representative on its Steering Committee. The NDC Partnership has grown to include 77 countries\, 18 international institutions and four Associate Members. The Partnership is supporting more than 30 developing countries to enhance and implement their NDCs through technical assistance; capacity building; knowledge sharing and by facilitating access to finance. Members give specific support to strengthen policy frameworks; mainstream climate actions into national\, sectoral and sub-national plans; develop budgeting and investment plans; share knowledge and resources and build more robust monitoring and reporting systems in line with country-driven requests.

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.
