Pakistan has yet to meet the requirement under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement, which states that all Parties should formulate long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies with a 2050 time horizon. Currently, Pakistan is working to build capabilities, enabling vulnerable communities to better respond to negative impacts. However, developing Pakistan's Long-Term Vision 2050 highlights the gap between political commitment to climate policy and the ability for implementation. Therefore, stakeholders need more support to develop a comprehensive long-term strategy for a gender-just transition to decarbonisation and resilience, addressing social impacts and institutional arrangements.
Objective
National and subnational actors in Pakistan have developed a long-term, gender-responsive strategy for decarbonisation and resilience, considering social impacts and institutional arrangements.
Approach
The project supports the Government of Pakistan with the following measures:
• Assisting in creating the necessary prerequisites for legally anchoring long-term low-emission development strategies (LT-LEDS) to achieve a net-zero transition that fairly includes and benefits all genders.
• Integrating LT-LEDS into Pakistan's policy agendas and processes.
• Enhancing the skills of individuals involved in developing and implementing the LT-LEDS and the Just Transition approach. It ensures that the shift to a low-emission economy is fair and inclusive for all workers and communities.
