Trajectoires de long-terme pour un développement sobre en carbone et résilient aux changements climatiques au Sénégal
This final report presents the outcomes and key findings of the DDP-Senegal project, led by Enda Energie, supervised by the DDP secretariat at IDDRI, which was launched in 2021 by the Ministry of the Environment and Ecological Transition (METE) and the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum, and Mines (MEPM), and conducted within the framework of a partnership with the French Development Agency (AFD). This report describes model-based scenarios exploring how Senegal’s long-term development choices can support a transition toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient future. Built through a national co-construction process involving public institutions, researchers, civil society, and technical experts, it examines how energy transition pathways can align climate objectives with economic development, energy access, and national priorities through 2050.

Ten Years After Paris: Transition Outlook – SENEGAL

Commitment: National transport pathways to net zero

A global initiative under the DDP to co-develop realistic national pathways for decarbonizing passenger and freight transport, supporting countries in achieving net zero.

Commitment: Structuring cooperation to implement “Avoid & Shift” strategies in freight transport

A joint initiative by IDDRI and the United Nations to strengthen international cooperation and accelerate “Avoid & Shift” strategies in freight, driving systemic changes in production, logistics, and trade toward low-carbon and resource-efficient transport systems.

Net-zero compatible development pathways in Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa: lessons for short-term actions

Applying the DDP approach to seven large emerging economies, the study shows that while pathways differ according to national circumstances and socio-economic priorities, they share common transformations: reduced final energy demand, a steady phase-down of fossil fuels in favor of low-GHG energy sources, and enhanced carbon absorption through land use. To enable these transitions, the paper highlights three policy priorities: strengthening existing low-carbon solutions in key sectors (power, transport, land use), addressing structural inertias and avoiding carbon lock-ins through long-term planning, and integrating social and economic measures to manage the transition’s impacts and ensure it is both equitable and sustainable. This synthesis is an analysis based on the results of the Insights from Modelling and Analysis for Global Interactions and National Engagement (IMAGINE) project funded by the European Commission.

A Decade of National Climate Action: Stocktake And The Road Ahead

Ten years on from the Paris Agreement the report “A Decade of National Climate Action: Stocktake and the Road Ahead” analyzes what has been the real effect of the Paris Agreement on climate action. Complementarily to globalheadlines, the report is grounded on a detailed analysis of climate action at the national level from DDP experts across 21 countries, representing a diversity of geographies, levels of development, and sizes (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominican Republic, France, EU, Germany, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Thailand, United States).
