EU4CLIMATE - Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS)

Under the Paris Agreement, countries develop climate pledges – Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) – to help tackle global warming. Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS) comes as the next step in the form of scenarios of how climate neutrality can be achieved.

EU4Climate promotes EU knowledge and experience in developing and implementing long-term climate policies and assists Eastern Partners to develop Low-Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS) for a resource-efficient, low emission, and climate-resilient economy. EU4Climate assisted Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia in preparing their LEDS. Moldova was supported in developing the updated LEDS 2030. Ukraine had already prepared its long-term strategy already in 2017.
