Long-term low emissions development strategies (LT-LEDS) are important policy instruments to define low-emissions development paths for countries as part of their implementation of the Paris Agreement. LT-LEDS long-term outlook offers tremendous opportunities for leveraging socio-economic transformations associated to-low carbon economic paths to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment.
This note presents a methodology to integrate gender in LT-LEDS, developed by the Global Green Growth Institute and UN Women, in the context of the formulation of the Burkina Faso LT-LEDS in 2022.
The lessons drawn from the process of application of the methodology in Burkina Faso can help other countries in making progress towards gender-responsive, just, green transitions.
