The project provides governments and national institutes with tools and analysis to strengthen long-term mitigation strategies (LTS), with a focus on energy and land use, in line with national development objectives. It contributes to aligning short and medium-term sectoral, economic and national plans with LTS, including support for a just transformation. It includes identifying opportunities to raise the ambition of NDCs based on LTS. Through conferences, research, and exchange, it builds capacities beyond focus countries, improving government readiness to raise ambition and implement mitigation and adaptation.
