Executive summary
- Climate change is already affecting development through extreme heat, rainfall
variability, droughts, floods and rising seas. As convenor of the presidential task
team on mitigation, I propose a country-tailored, implementation-focused plan that
reduces emissions while protecting livelihoods and jobs.
- The strategy integrates energy transition, sustainable land-use, resilient
infrastructure, smart governance, and catalytic finance. It seeks co-benefits for
growth, jobs and poverty reduction, while strengthening the country’s climate
resilience.
Context and guiding principles
- Context: Our country faces [coastal floods and storms / heat and drought in the
interior / agricultural vulnerability / rising energy demand with limited supply / etc.—
adapt this to your country]. The mitigation plan must align with development priorities
(growth, jobs, energy security, food security, health) and be just, gender-responsive
and regionally balanced.
- Principles:
- Co-benefits and speed: pursue actions that cut emissions while delivering energy
security, air quality, jobs and resilience.
- Just transition: protect workers and communities dependent on high-emission
activities; invest in skills and new opportunities.
- Data-driven and transparent: use best available science, open data, and
independent monitoring.
- Phased and fiscally sustainable: start with low-cost, high-impact actions; scale up
with predictable finance.
- Policy coherence: align climate and development policies across sectors; avoid
perverse subsidies.
