Samadi, S., Terrapon-Pfaff, J., Lechtenböhmer, S. & Knoop, K. Long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies for achieving the 1.5 °C target – insights from a comparison of German bottom-up energy scenarios.
Cities are central to the fight against climate change, but the IPCC recently noted that many cities — and particularly those in the developing world — lack the institutional, financial and technical capacities needed to switch to low emission development paths.
Based on detailed case studies of three Asian cities, this paper finds that the adoption of low emission development strategies (LEDS) at the urban level could be economically attractive.
This research focuses on demonstrating how clean energy policies and Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) can help achieve multiple energy, environmental, public health and economic benefits in a cost-effective way in Asian cities.
This book capitalizes on two hot topics: the Low Carbon Emission Development Strategies and climate change in Asian cities.
To determine the global actions, it is necessary to make breakthroughs by promoting further research and to present scenarios that achieve Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) goals without dependence upon fossil fuels.
However, it should be noted that this estimate is uncertain, as the national BAU LULUCF emission development applied in this study are not necessarily fully consistent with the no-policy baseline scenario as assumed in [5, 6, 24].
Ukraine 2050 Low Emission Development Strategy.
The relative uncertainties are large in the cases of forest residues and agricultural peat fuel due to the uncertainly known emission development of their reference cases.
Parties to the Paris Agreement are invited to communicate, by 2020, their mid-century, long-term low GHG emission development strategies.
