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.
