This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of strategies and reports, the point here is to illustrate that a multitude of different strategies and reporting channels already exists in many countries. This can help to clarify what elements may usefully be included in a LEDS versus what may be redundant of other exercises and thus left out to avoid duplication. For example, while many existing national climate change strategies may also contain forward-looking components, they may not adequately integrate economic development with climate change, so this could be a core objective of a LEDS.7 Moreover, several of the existing national climate change strategies prepared to date only plan forward for the short-term, i.e. up to 2012.
