short- term and long term implications of solar energy of economic strategies suggested in the course of research

Explanation:
Long-Term Strategy in Near-Term
The Paris Agreement calls for the Parties to communicate long-term low greenhouse gas strategies, and these studies of emissions reduction in future decades are beginning to be uploaded to the website of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.1 Unfortunately, many of those submitted to date are unconnected to near-term components of the agreement, despite the fact that all the paths they consider run through the early cycles of the Paris system of voluntary pledges, and all are dependent on achievements there. The 2015 agreement was reached only after many years of painful experience and skilled diplomacy, and it is likely the most promising emissions control structure that can gain global agreement in the current international context. Its effectiveness is not yet fully demonstrated, however, and successful implementation—not only of the first nationally determined contributions (NDCs) but also of preparations for the longer-term challenge—will be crucial to building confidence in the approach and sustain national commitment. To this end, a nation’s long-term strategy needs to be integrated with its short-term NDC, indicating those actions that, while perhaps not required to meet the current emissions pledge, need to begin now if the long-term strategy is to be plausible.
The process of developing long-term strategies related to the energy sector
Energy sector strategies guide the sector in exploiting investment opportunities, and in bridging gaps in infrastructure development during a defined plan period. The process of preparing such strategies should be undertaken through the preparation of all short-, medium-, or long-term plans, which should be designed to capture the rapidly changing circumstances in the energy sector.
