Yesterday we launched our report, "Making it Happen: National pathways to net zero." 👇 Below are some of the key takeaways from the report. 🔗 You can read and download the full report and each chapter here: https://lnkd.in/e65H-EqR

Today we launch our report, "Making it happen: National pathways to net zero" This 2024 report analyzes detailed scenarios from ten countries collectively representing nearly half of the world’s population and a significant portion of global emissions: Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and the United States, based on in-country perspectives from local experts. The report’s deep decarbonization scenarios showcase a variety of pathways to achieve carbon neutrality while maintaining economic growth and improving social well-being 🔗 Download the report or each chapter here: https://lnkd.in/e65H-EqR

A new Policy Brief co-authored by DDP's Yann Briand proposes that going lighter and smaller is one of our best bets to satisfy mobility needs and reduce emissions.

A new policy brief, co-authored by DDP member Hilton Trollip and IDDRI's Nicolas Berghmans, suggests that green iron imports rooted in comparative advantages of different geographies are technically achievable and economically sound. Read the full paper here:

The NDCAspects project is coming to a close, but before that you can now find the excellent work that our DDP partners conducted, gathering insights emerging from scenario development that can be relevant to design the next round of NDCs.

As a member of the IKI-LTS Project consortium, the DDP initiative is currently participating in the international convening ‘2050 is Now’: Aligning Climate Action with Long-Term Climate and Development Goals in Jakarta, Indonesia. A great opportunity for our DDP research partners gelang DEWI (Center for Research on Energy Policy, Institut Teknologi Bandung-Indonesia) and William Wills (CentroClima, COPPE-UFRJ-Brazil) to deliver insightful presentations and disseminate their key findings and policy lessons based on national scenario development, opening new perspectives on reducing carbon emissions at a national scale.

🎉 Congratulations to our researchers on this latest publication! The paper analyses the role that AFOLU plays in national decarbonisation in Brazil, India, and Indonesia finding that: 🌳 AFOLU plays an important role in reaching multiple sustainable development goals (SDGs), and mitigation through AFOLU is only feasible when trade-offs with SDGs are managed. 🌳 Reducing net emissions in LULUCF is a major driver of national decarbonization in all three countries between 2020 and 2050 🌳 Mitigation in agriculture and via dietary changes is challenging in Brazil, India and Indonesia due to difficulties in managing trade-offs with food security and rural livelihoods. 🌳 Strengthened agricultural resilience to climate change is required to achieve the yield increases necessary to meet growing demand for food, feed, fibre and carbon sequestration in the Brazilian, Indian and Indonesian pathways 🌳 Achieving mitigation and sustainable productivity increases in the pathways while maximizing co-benefits with other SDGs requires comprehensive and context-specific policy packages.

Earlier this week we held a "Just Transitions Dialogue" in Barcelona facilitated by Marta Torres Gunfaus and Anna Pérez Català. This dialogue centered around the realities and complexities of implementing just transitions in different national contexts. We aimed to bring in-country perspectives of implementing a just transition based on five different countries’ contexts: India, Chile, France, Indonesia and South Africa. The framing of the discussion considered how to overcome the key obstacles when countries are trying to undertake their just transition, and how these relate to global enablers -and getting to net zero emissions globally by 2050.

Climate change impacts are being felt globally and hence, adaptation and resilience building should no more be a Global North vs Global South debate- even in the negotiations. There are vulnerable populations worldwide. Hence, adaptation actions and finance is imperative for each Party. A transparent system on reporting adaptation actions and support would go a long way towards assessing the needs, adequacy and effectiveness in achieving ‘Just Adaptation’ for all.
