From Paper to Practice: A Practical Guide to Formulating and Institutionalizing LTSs

This guidance note is designed to equip governments and practitioners with implementable insights and a practical how-to framework for formulating and institutionalizing LTSs. It focuses on formulating technically sound LTSs and addresses their institutional integration, which involves embedding long-term low-emission, climate-resilient pathways in planning, budgeting, and decision-making processes across the government so that they can be operationalized through existing policy and fiscal instruments.
