LEAP Software System

Abstract: 
"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. It can be used at a wide range of scales, from cities and states to national, regional and even global applications. At least 37 countries used LEAP to help develop their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted to the UNFCCC’s Paris climate conference in 2015, and LEAP is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for countries undertaking integrated resource planning and GHG mitigation assessments, especially in the developing world."
