C-Neutrality (vision) should become a
conductive strategy (action): Roadmap for the
different sectors
Several development and CC initiatives are
converging with LEDS, but with a dispersion
of public and private efforts
LEDS approach can catalyze, enhance and
create synergy in public and private
investment, financing and international
cooperation

The country has not a low emission
development pattern in key sectors


Strong leadership: government priority with national
entities and stakeholders commitment to action:
◦ Local champions and a strong team
◦ Stakeholder engagement (planning, analysis, requirements,
ownership and consensus)
◦ Capacity building
◦ Sharing of approaches and experiences


Study to identifying base lines or reference scenario,
future evolution and mitigation options and associated
cost for low carbon emission scenario (bottom-up
approach)
Flexible (learning-by-doing) framework in adapting to a
variety of sectoral conditions (coordination, regulatory
capacity, resource availability, level of political support,
private sector investment)


Effective integration of programs from
national institutions, private sector, NGOs
and international agencies
Integration of CC initiatives:
◦ National Economic, Environment and Development Study
(NEEDS)
◦ Market Readiness (PMR)
◦ Technology Needs Assessments (TNA)
◦ Reducing Emissions from Deforestation
and Forest Degradation (REDD+)
◦ Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs)
◦ National Adaptation Plans of Actions (NAPAs)
◦ Bilateral programs

Development of low-emissions strategies with
concrete economic and social benefits
◦ Effective plans with policy framework to establish an
enabling environment
◦ Capacity building programs
◦ Strategy for technology transference
◦ Conducting a barrier analysis and removal strategy
◦ Providing the necessary cohesive institutional arrangements
◦ Setting concrete results (metrics and MRV scheme)
◦ Assess financing needs and design financial architecture
◦ Continual monitoring
◦ Feedback and refinement
