The project will establish country specific Low Carbon Plans (LCP). These LCPs will be the basis to create momentum for the uptake of mitigation and adaptation targets and measures in government policies and programmes as well as by civil society, and the business sector. The LCPs will start from emission reduction targets set for 2050, and will analyse all relevant sectors, taking into account carbon emissions, efficiency potential, policy options, drivers of and barriers to change. The LCPs will deliver recommendations on the policies and actions necessary to acchieve these ambitious emission reductions. National research institutes in the respective countries plus Germany will work together closely. The project will thus further knowledge exchange and transfer.
