Join us for a Learning Pathway on Powering NDCs and LT-LEDS, led by UNDP’s Climate Promise, with a third session about long-term low-emission development strategies (LT-LEDS), organized in cooperation with the NDC Partnership, GIZ and World Resource Institute. The webinar will guide you in comprehending the socio-economic impact of low-emission and net-zero transition pathways, including key challenges in achieving just transitions, particularly for vulnerable communities and sectors. 

The webinar will also highlight Colombia’s experience of integrating just transition into long-term strategy, showcase how Zimbabwe measured socio-economic impacts of LT-LEDS, Bosnia and Herzegovina's experience in the transition towards a sustainable and just economy, as well as measures taken in India to ensure that the just transition in the country is inclusive and address the needs of the most vulnerable populations.
