Reducing carbon emissions and overcoming poverty must not compete but could be
combined. Which approaches have been successful and what lessons learnt can be taken?
The side event is part of the joint project “Exploring Sustainable Low Carbon Development
Pathways” (Hyperlink zu http://www.fes-sustainability.org/en/exploring-sustainable-lowcarbon-development-pathways) which aims to explore Sustainable Low Carbon
Development Pathways in different countries. Together with international experts we will
discuss concrete examples from different countries and sectors.
