This policy paper sets out the challenges faced by LLDCs because of their geographic constraints, remoteness from the global markets, and other structural economic and social factors. This paper outlines LLDCs' exposure to climate change, their economic and social sensitivities, and their limited capacities for mitigation and adaptation.

The following six key priorities draw from the Programme of Action (PoA) for the LLDCs to form the foundation for a coordinated global response to the climate challenges of LLDCs for the decade ahead:

  • Establishing the Group of LLDCs within the UNFCCC
  • Support climate adaptation in LLDCs
  • Address climate-related disaster risks in LLDCs
  • Recognize LLDCs in climate finance arrangements
  • Invest in climate-resilient infrastructure
