On 24 November 2020 at 10:00 (CET), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is hosting a webinar on 'Making long-term low GHG emissions development strategies a reality: A guide to policy makers on how to develop an LTS for submission and future revision cycles'.

This webinar serves to present and discuss guidance for the development of long-term low GHG emission development strategies, in the context of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance paper “Making long-term low GHG emissions development strategies a reality” was published by NewClimate Institute and GIZ in May 2020. We will present and discuss the key messages of the guide and reflect on different country perspectives in this context. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic policy makers and practitioners face additional challenges of elaborating long-term strategies in lock-down circumstances. The need to adequately consider and synergize long-term climate mitigation action with economic and social recovery from the consequences of the corona pandemic present both challenges and opportunities.
