Following the Conference of the Parties (COP21), our panel of country representatives will share their reflections on the Paris outcome and what it means for our work on low-emission development strategies (LEDS) and supporting Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) implementation. We will outline the work plan of the LEDS GP for the coming year, which was shaped at our annual event in the Dominican Republic in October 2015, and invite your feedback.
