Chile's 2021 Long-Term Climate Strategy Outlines Path to Carbon Neutrality and Resilience by 2050
Chile's Long-Term Climate Strategy (Estrategia climática de largo plazo de Chile / ECLP), approved by the Council of Ministers for Sustainability on October 21, 2021, and subsequently presented to the UNFCCC at COP26, defines the national roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality and climate resilience by 2050. This strategy is grounded in the binding goal of carbon neutrality established in Chile's Framework Law on Climate Change bill. It aims to drive a multisectoral transformation across all sectors of society, integrating action at regional and local levels. Key obligations and goals include: * Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. * Achieving climate resilience by 2050. * Meeting the updated NDC carbon budget of 1.1 billion tons of CO2eq for the period 2020-2030. * Ensuring national emissions peak no later than 2025. * Defining specific sectoral limits on CO2eq emissions consistent with the national carbon budget. * Establishing over 400 transition goals across all sectors to guide climate action. The strategy is a key commitment under the Paris Agreement and builds upon Chile's updated NDC presented in April 2020. It emphasizes that achieving these ambitious targets requires defining concrete actions and measures across all affected sectors.

CHILE'S LONG-TERM CLIMATE STRATEGY THE PATH TO CARBON NEUTRALITY AND RESILIENCE BY 2050 CHILE'S LONG-TERM CLIMATE STRATEGY THE PATH TO CARBON NEUTRALITY AND RESILIENCE BY 2050 In its October 21, 2021 session, the Council of Ministers for Sustainability agreed to decide in favor of the contents of this Long-Term Climate Strategy. The strategy was approved by the President of the Republic and subsequently presented during COP26 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Path to Carbon Neutrality and Resilience by 2050 Climate change is the biggest challenge facing humanity. Having the will, urgency and responsibility to address this challenge is the great mission of our generation. Science has spoken loud and clear, and has shown us time and again that the only way to prevent the temperature from rising more than 1.5°C is to exponentially increase our efforts to reduce emissions and our vulnerability to Climate Change. This requires a multisectoral transformation that opens the way towards sustainable, emission-neutral and climate-resilient development no later than the year 2050. To achieve this goal, we must change course, make up for lost time and accelerate our efforts today. This is how we have understood the situation in Chile, establishing a binding goal of carbon neutrality in our Framework Law on Climate Change bill, which was recently passed nearly unanimously in the Senate and is now undergoing a second constitutional review. Even in the difficult context in which we find ourselves as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our country has continued to move forward with strength and conviction to fulfill its commitments, and as established by the Paris Agreement of April 2020, we presented an updated, more ambitious NDC to the UNFCCC, establishing a carbon budget of 1.1 billion tons of CO for 2020-2030. 2eq In other words, we set a maximum emissions limit at the national level and established that our peak emissions will occur no later than 2025, thus ensuring our path to carbon neutrality. Today, we are fulfilling a new and important commitment required by the Paris Agreement by presenting Chile's Long-Term Climate Strategy (ECLP), which defines the roadmap that we must follow over the coming decades to achieve carbon neutrality and climate resilience. Science has shown us that how we reach this objective is just as important as achieving it. Setting ambitious targets is not enough; we must also define how we are going to meet them. To this end, the ECLP defines sectoral limits on CO 2eq emissions based on the limit determined in our NDC and establishes more than 400 transition goals. These include all sectors of society in an integrated manner
