Project Description

A long-term strategy (LTS) defines how a country will be meeting the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement (PA), and establishes a country’s vision of the development patterns and policies associated with deep decarbonisation and related structure changes. Article 4.19 of the Paris Agreement states that all countries “should strive to formulate and communicate long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LTS) mindful of the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement” (UNFCCC, 2015). An LTS is an overall development strategy and its associated sequence of both sectoral and transversal measures and policies that result in a transition of the country’s economy towards net zero emissions by around mid-century. An LTS helps countries and other clients understand the comparative advantages of different sustainable, equitable, low-GHG and climate-resilient development pathways and the risks and costs of transition inherent in each.

EBRD is planning to support the Government of Uzbekistan (“GoU” or “Uzbekistan” or “Client”) in developing Uzbekistan’s long-term strategy in line with the country’s commitment under the Paris Agreement. The assignment will be built on the successful and long-term cooperation between the GoU and the EBRD in the area of climate change and green finance, of which the recently completed low carbon strategy for the power sector and ongoing market scoping of carbon instruments are good examples. It will also support the implementation of the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding between the GoU and the EBRD on the implementation of the low-carbon roadmap for the electricity sector.

The objective of the assignment is to provide technical support to Uzbekistan in order to inform the process of developing a robust national LTS with the aim of submitting it to the UNFCCC.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
