Briefing Paper

Understanding the Interface between LCDs, NAMAs and Mitigation Actions

“The expert discussion in this Briefing has identified issues and questions for future research by considering the concepts and their interface from the domestic perspective
of a developing country. MAPS will explore some of these further through a research piece focused on developing countries involved with MAPS (Brazil, Argentina, Chile,
Colombia, Peru, India and South Africa). This research focuses on two main question areas: 1) How do developing countries understand the concepts of MA (including the NAMA sub-set) and LCDS, and how do they interface in these countries? 2) Is one of the three more helpful for deepening mitigation action? What alternative concept or interface option could assist?”
