Low Emissions Development Strategies Global Partnership (LEDS)

The Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS) Global Partnership was founded to advance climate-resilient low emission development through coordination, information exchange, and cooperation among programs and countries working to advance low emissions growth. Launched in early 2011, the partnership currently brings together 113 governmental and international institutions.

The LEDS Global Partnership aims to:

• Strengthen support for low-emission climate-resilient development in all regions,
• Mobilize capacity and advance peer-to-peer learning and collaboration on low emission climate-resilient development across countries, international institutions and practitioners, and
• Improve and support coordination of low-emission climate-resilient development LEDS activities at the country, regional and global level.

In addition the LEDS Global Partnership offers remote expert assistance to governments on analysis, financing, energy, transport and subnational integration.
