The Long Term – Low Emission Development Strategy (LT ‑LEDS) is an important instrument for envisioning how a country will develop sustainably along a low-carbon growth and climate resilient development pathway.
This insight brief presents key lessons learned from the LT-LEDS development process in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, which can be used as a guide and knowledge resource for other developing countries, and help accelerate the development and update of their LT-LEDS.
From the experience of LT-LEDS development in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, a central element is on capacity building and engagement across government institutions and sectors at national and local levels to achieve whole-of-economy and whole-of-society ownership of the LT-LEDS.
