The Gambia’s Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines has launched a Technical Working Group (TWG) to develop the country’s National Deep Decarbonization Pathways (NDDPs), a crucial step towards transitioning to a low-carbon energy sector.
The TWG will collaborate with STANTEC, a consulting firm, to design NDDPs for The Gambia’s energy sector.
The Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines, Mrs. Mansata M. Darboe said TWG will be responsible for codesigning the NDDPs and providing requested data and guidance to the consultant on the country-specific priorities.
This plan aims to support African member states in developing their national energy transition and decarbonization pathways.
The primary goal of this initiative is to support The Gambia’s transition to a low-carbon energy sector, aligning with global efforts to limit global warming to 2°C or less.
The NDDPs will provide a roadmap for the country’s energy sector transformation, ensuring sustainable development and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The Deep Decarbonization Pathways initiative is a global effort, with similar projects implemented in 35 countries across all continents.
