Title: From Long-Term Strategies to financing strategies and implementation

The long-term low-emission and resilient development strategies (LT-LEDS or LTS) and associated studies will help decision-makers commit to ambitious country development paradigm shifts. They shall inform the national plans of investments and regulatory reforms with short, medium and longer-term horizons. LTS processes feed the financial partnerships and strategic dialogue between countries and the international financing institutions. To be realistic and implementable, they also crucially need to be financially sustainable at the national level. Integrating transition risk modelling into the exercises with a view to looking at fiscal and financial consequences and opportunities, as well as various financing options for multiple levels of economic agents and sectors, becomes essential in that respect. Physical risks, as well as land use and eco-systemic limits, are also part of the equation leading to the implementation of LTS.
