Venue: World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB) – Room Berlin Over the past decade, Parties have made significant progress in advancing climate planning under the Paris Agreement, notably through successive Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) cycles and the development of Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategies (LT LEDS).
Effective NDC and LT-LEDS implementation is increasingly recognised as a driver of economic competitiveness, energy security, and sustainable development, not just a climate imperative. Many Parties have entered the third NDC cycle with138 having developed or updated their Nationally Determined Contributions as of May 2025, and over 80 having adopted Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) signalling an intention to anchor near-term decisions within longer-term transformation pathways.
This evolving architecture supports a coherent trajectory from planning to implementation. LT LEDS, when used as a strategic anchor for national transition planning, help align sectoral pathways and guide investment decisions in ways that make near-term NDC delivery more coherent and credible. Realising this potential requires a whole-of-government approach — one that builds on the coordination processes established through NDC development, ensures meaningful engagement of Ministries of Finance, and drives coherent sectoral action across government.
- The event builds on two upcoming reports :UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre’s synthesis report on long-term decarbonisation strategies across national, sectoral, and city levels
- The 2050 Pathways Platform flagship report on implementation of LT-LEDS
And it will showcase country experience in governance and coordination for climate planning and implementation — including whole-of-government approaches and how coordination processes built through NDC development can be leveraged to fast-track sectoral action — drawing lessons from concrete approaches that have worked and have the potential to be replicated across different national contexts.
