This guide was developed through close collaboration between the 2050 Pathways Platform and the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Initiative (DDP) at IDDRI. In order to help countries achieve alignment of short-term plans with the long-term systemic transformations needed to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, it provides a practical framework based on the premise that countries can fully understand how their NDCs align with the Paris Agreement only by viewing alignment through the lens of a Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS), which can highlight transformations and actions that might be overlooked in a short-term perspective, expanding the scope of the alignment process. It also also includes four country case studies (Chile, European Union, Morocco, India) presenting real examples of alignment.

National pathways to net zero require short-term measures to prevent development delays, with a focus on supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable populations during the transition. These measures, which must be tailored to the unique contexts of each country, can be macroeconomic or sectoral in nature, possibly involving international cooperation

Immediate CO2 emission reductions are primarily achieved through improvements in power generation, passenger transport and land use in national pathways to net zero. Technical solutions already exist in these sectors and the policies needed to accelerate their deployment are often well identified in each country
