Guidance on how to develop a Long-Term LowEmission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS)
Sustainable Development Guide
The guide helps to assess the impact of policies and actions in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This assessment would allow the SDGs and climate goals to be integrated into a unified process. For example, it would be possible to identify and report Sustainable Development benefits within the actions taken to meet the NDCs.
Transformational Change Guide
Transformational Change can be defined as sustained, fundamental system change that disrupts established carbon-intensive practices and contributes to a zero-carbon society in line with the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Thus, the guide makes it possible to determine to what extent an action or policy has been or can be transformational.
Circular Economy Tool and its contribution to NDCs and SDGs
The purpose of the technical assistance was to evaluate the initial situation and identify cases of circularity in different economic sectors in Guatemala by replicating the circular economy tool developed by the Argentinean Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEADS). As a result, a report was issued with all the implementation actions and recommendations to the private sector.
Circular Economy Tool for the private sector in Mexico
The implemented tool allows assessing the degree of implementation of the Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency concept in the private sector. This was possible thanks to the adaptation of the Circular Economy tool developed by the Argentine Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEADS). Subsequently, recommendations were generated to promote circularity and Resource Efficiency.
Long-term strategies towards zero net emissions and green recovery
Given the new nature of LTS, there are many doubts about their relevance, their role in public policy and investment planning, the basic elements that constitute them, and the processes and tools for their formulation. It is therefore necessary to address what LTS are, how they can be developed and how they can play an effective role in climate action, sustainable development and green recovery.
Fourth edition of LEDSenLAC report
LESDenLAC is a useful document to support professionals, technicians and decision makers who promote climate action in Latin America and the Caribbean. It incorporates the progress of 27 countries in the region regarding the implementation of the first generation of NDCs and the content and characteristics of the second generation of NDCs, seeking to analyze the quality of progress and the integration of climate goals with broader national and sectoral planning frameworks.
Increasing climate ambition in the transport sector: Good practices, lessons learned and recommendations from Latin America
A useful, supportive and recommendatory document that seeks to enable decision-makers in the climate community and the sector, especially in Latin America, to understand the impacts and role of transport in advancing transport decarbonization and green recovery, as well as to provide existing tools for the implementation of climate strategies in transport.
Net Zero World Initiative
Net Zero World Initiative leverages the expertise of U.S. government agencies and Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories, in partnership with other governments and philanthropic organizations, to accelerate the decarbonization of global energy systems. The initiative enables partner countries to leverage the technical expertise of the Net Zero World network to elevate their climate ambitions.
Transportation Energy & Mobility Pathway Options Model (TEMPO)
The Transportation Energy & Mobility Pathway Options™ (TEMPO) model is a transportation demand model. Researchers use the TEMPO model to explore pathway options to produce long-term scenarios that achieve strategic transportation, energy, and environmental objectives and to evaluate synergies with energy supply.
Scenario Evaluation and Regionalization Analysis Model (SERA)
The Scenario Evaluation and Regionalization Analysis (SERA) model provides information that can guide infrastructure development and transportation investment decisions and accelerate hydrogen adoption at scale, whether for fuel cell electric vehicles or non-transportation applications.
Scalable Integrated Infrastructure Planning Model (SIIP)
NREL created the Scalable Integrated Infrastructure Planning (SIIP) modeling framework to effectively build, solve, and analyze dynamic scheduling problems and simulations of quasi-static infrastructure systems. This addresses the needs of evolving energy infrastructure systems to model individual and integrated infrastructure systems at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
