The CBIT-GSP received a request for support from the Climate   Change   Division   of   the   Ministry   of   Environment,   Climate   Change,   Disaster   Management   and   Meteorology for a hands on training on the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) which is a modelling, versatile tool for integrated energy planning and climate change mitigation assessment. Developed at SEI US, LEAP is a transparent and user-friendly tool for energy and climate mitigation planning that has been adopted by thousands of organizations in nearly 190 countries worldwide, including government agencies, academics, nonprofits, consulting companies and energy utilities.

The hand on training will be held between 26 - 28 February 2024.  The main objective of the training is to instruct and guide the participants from the key organizations dealing with energy development as well as with modelling and scenarios of GHG emissions, on the practical use of LEAP model.  

It is expected that the participants will acquire practical knowledge on how to operate with the LEAP model and what type of data are needed for processing. The improved knowledge on LEAP will result in better understanding of the results from LT LEDS for Solomon Islands that was developed using the LEAP model.
