Sažetak

The term low – emission development strategies (LEDS) was developed on the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2008. LEDS is used to describe a longterm
national economic development plans or strategies that include low emissions and economic
growth resistant to climate change.
The concept of Low Carbon Development Strategies (LCDS) has been introduced by the
Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC as a common but differentiated approach to meet the overall
emissions reduction objectives:
“All countries shall prepare Low Emission Development Strategies …nationally-driven and
represent[ing] the aims and objectives of individual Parties in accordance with national
circumstances and capacities” (Cancun Agreement).
Low Carbon Development Strategies (LCDS) in this way become an overarching framework
to design and achieve Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) reflecting the Common
but Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) of all countries.
For Long-Term National Strategy and Action Plan for Low-Carbon Development the main
objective of this programme is the development of a long-term national strategy and action plan for
low-carbon development to enable country to fulfil its commitment to carbon obligations.
Low-carbon development strategy will become the fundamental for the development of the
energy sector with low rate of carbon, but also for the entire economy. European Union is the leader
in the effort to reduce emissions especially in the energy sector – sector with the highest rate of
emission. With the goal of reducing emissions, necessary measures are accentuated for energy in
the EU Countries, as well as in Croatia. The possibilities for realization of Croatian low-carbon
development and particularly possible role and barriers for Nuclear power plants for Low carbon
emissions development in the electricity sector until 2050 will be presented in this paper.
