2050 Pathways Platform
The 2050 Pathways Platform is a multi-stakeholder initiative launched at COP 22 by High-Level Climate Champions Laurence Tubiana and Hakima El Haite to support countries seeking to develop long-term, net zero-GHG, climate-resilient and sustainable-development pathways. Designed as a space for collective problem-solving, the platform will also build a broader constellation of cities, states, and companies engaged in long-term low-emissions planning of their own, and in support of the national strategies.
The Platform provides financial and technical assistance to support governments in formulating LTS tailored to country priorities and ensuring ownership. The specific activities are identified through dialogue with the government to identify needs and a suitable approach to address them.
The Platform works via support to local capacity, and thus prioritizes grants to governments, in-country organizations and stakeholders. The secretariat of the Platform ensures that there is sufficient peer-to-peer support for local capacity to undertake the work. In the last few years, countries that partnered with the Platform for their LTS development include Argentina, Bhutan, Costa Rica, Iceland, Indonesia, Marshall Islands, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, The Gambia and Turkey.
