The Paris Agreement calls for Parties to communicate their long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies by 2020. Achala Abeysinghe looks at how to ensure good governance for these strategies.

Countries are starting to prepare and submit their long term climate and development strategies (LTSs) under the Paris Agreement. The Agreement asks countries to articulate their climate change and development aspirations for the middle of the century. The expectation is that these will provide direction to their futureNationally Determined Contributions- the five-yearly stepping stones towards their long-term vision.

Last week I participated ina global meeting about the processes for creating LTSs。为期两天的会议为政府从业人员,政策制定者和国际专家提供了一个机会,可以分享与制定这些策略有关的想法,良好实践,工具,利益和挑战。

我是LTS良好治理实践会议的共同领导者,并能够从我为一个的角度出发一些观点必威官网亚洲体育recent book on this topic。Among many key messages that came out of the session, I heard that the LTS can be living documents, adapted over time to changing circumstances and building on shorter-term development strategies and plans. Another resounding message was that "There is no one-size-fits-all solution" for this process.

我认为,良好的治理原则可以应用于任何策必威官网亚洲体育略 - 使其更容易接受,向人民提供更多的所有权,使其更具信任度,确定性和可靠性 - 无论该策略是活着的文件还是固定愿景。

Good governance for long term strategies

必威官网亚洲体育治理是指决策过程和实施决策的过程。善政原则通必威官网亚洲体育常包括战略愿景,透明度,问责制,参与和响应能力,有效性和效率以及尊重法治。

在下面,我强调了如何将一些良好的治理原则实际上应用于长期愿景中 - 尽管这不是必威官网亚洲体育详尽的清单。

明确的战略愿景和可行的政策选择

明确的战略愿景与可行的政策选择相结合可以提供一条途径,有助于通过对气候变化的行动来形象化社会,环境和经济发展的需求。必威官网是真的吗愿景和政策选择可以指导相关的决策过程,资源分配,利益相关者的参与和咨询程序以及机构和个人责任。这样,领导人和公众将对该战略的治理有广泛的长期观点,并清楚地了解其全面实施所需的内容必威官网亚洲体育

最高水平的政治和技术领导才能更强大的问责制

To ensure that the LTS is more than a mere aspirational expression of where the country would like to be in the long term, it is important that senior political figures are involved in LTS development and its implementation.

In the Marshall Islands, President Hilda Heine has herself led the development of her country’s long-term strategy, and will present it to various partners next week. Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama is also engaged in leading the long-term climate vision for his country. Such leadership gives citizens confidence that their leaders are serious about this process. It demonstrates that political leaders are aware of the risks, costs, benefits and opportunities that the LTS creates — including improved economic growth, energy access, air quality, and access to emerging technologies. Such engagement encourages political leaders to go beyond qualitative aspirations and creates greater downward accountability to the people of the country.

清楚地提出谁将为LTS流程提供监督和技术领导力也很重要。在某些国家,关于这些角色应该由现有机构还是全新的角色进行的持续辩论。显然,没有任何规模适合所有解决方案,但是重要的是,任何负责LTS流程和提供技术领导力的机构都必须具有实现其长期愿景的能力和能力,并且对高级领导层负责和国家的人民。

A 'whole government' approach

All relevant government ministries need to be aware of, and involved in, the LTS process to ensure coherent policy and planning across government. Given the cross-cutting nature of climate change, the LTS needs to be integrated into the planning processes of all ministries and departments. Without a coordinated and harmonised approach to policymaking, there is a risk of various policies competing or overriding each other.

为了确保根据法治制定长期的气候战略,各国可能必须介必威官网是真的吗绍或修改立法和政策,并且重要的是LTS流程从一个国家的立法机关中获得意见。这确保了一种“整个政府方法”,该方法超出了部委内的孤岛。

通过“整个社会”方法的有效利益相关者参与和咨询

善政原则(例如包容性和透明度)的应用将使必威官网亚洲体育LTS流程超出“整个政府”的“整个社会”方法。

The principles ensure that the views and contributions of members of diverse social, economic, and cultural groups are heard and considered in important decision-making processes of the LTS. This contributes to its benefits being equitably enjoyed by all.

Inclusiveness can be ensured through nondiscriminatory participation, public awareness, open decision making, and accountability. Ensuring inclusiveness and transparency involves undertaking consultations, particularly with those who are affected by climate issues and the LTS. People being consulted should be provided with full information, such as the types of measures being considered, impacts on jobs, health, quality of life, housing, and so on.

除了仅提供信息共享之外,政府还应为人们提供机会表达意见,提出建议,并通过设计精良的利益相关者参与过程成为决策的一部分。

Ensuring transparency enables people to follow and understand the decision-making process, and the decisions themselves. People should be able to clearly see how and why a decision was made: what information, advice, and consultation were considered, and which policy and legislative arrangements enabled those decisions.

Applying these principles effectively can enhance a community's well-being – with all its members feeling that their interests have been considered by government.

A whole society approach also means engaging future generations. For any long term plan, the planners are the adults of this generation, but the implementers will be the children. They, in turn, will be the adults of the next – and all must be climate aware in order to deliver the long-term strategy.
