Barriers in Developing National Mitigation Strategies in Developing Countries: Lessons Learned from the UNDP's Low Emission Capacity Building Programme

This activity report identifies barriers to the design and implementation of low emission development strategies (LEDS) and nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) encountered in developing countries, based on the experience of LECB Programme countries. The main barriers that must be targeted are those of raising technical skill and human capacities in key areas such as baseline development, strengthening political commitment and coordination among key ministries, engaging stakeholders, and securing financing for the development and implementation of LEDS and NAMAs.
