A fully calibrated, documented and nationally owned set of long-term low-emission scenarios for the United Republic of Tanzania, comprising: a GHG baseline and BAU scenario; sector-specific net-zero-by-2050 pathways covering energy, transport, AFOLU, industry, waste, blue economy and human settlements, with explicit treatment of AFOLU carbon sequestration and nature-based solutions, cost-benefit, macro-economic and just-transition analyses, an assessment of the adaptation, biodiversity and investment implications of alternative pathways, including nature-positive investments and Article 6 carbon market opportunities; and a structured capacity-transfer to NCMC and VPO-DoE. Together, these outputs form the quantitative backbone of Tanzania's LT-LEDS, integrated as modelling annexes into the strategy document under the leadership of the VPO-DoE and the LT-LEDS lead consultant/consortium, supporting Tanzania's transition towards a climate-resilient, net-zero and nature-positive economy by 2050.
