within
the
context
of
long‐term
Low

Emission
Development
Strategies
(LEDs)
/
Plans
(2050)


•  These

strategies
or
plans
should
map
out
an
ambi7ous
and

credible
trajectory
towards
low
emission
economies


•  The

should
match
the

needed,
both

in
the
long‐term

green

jobs,
equality,
access
to
clean
energy,
etc.

Concluding
remarks

•  Developing
countries
are
doing
a
lot
and
could
do
more.
How
to

interna7onalize

ac7ons
and
ensure
environmental
integrity?

•  Enhanced
ac7ons
needs
support
but
early
ac7on
is
urgently

needed
and
possible


•  Those
with
more
capabili7es
should
act
sooner
and
faster

•  A
robust

MRV
system
and
Registry
should
be
made
opera7onal

urgently
–
enabling

recogni7on
of
early
ac7on
and
matching

enhanced
ac7on
with
support

•  To
ensure
environmental
integrity
in
an
equitable
manner

developed
countries
must
do
(more
than
40%)
and
leave

sustainable
development
space
for
developing
countries
