JAM-LTS Documentation

The 2050 Long-term Emission Reduction and Climate Resilient Strategy (LTS) outlines Jamaica’s pathway to a low-carbon, resilient economy by 2050, in alignment with the Paris Agreement. This strategy was developed through detailed modeling of mitigation and adaptation actions. The project focuses on assessing the costs and benefits of the LTS to support informed decision-making and ensure alignment with national development priorities.
