A new feature in the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) allows users to explore thousands of LEAP-related publications to see how the climate, air pollution and energy planning tool has been used for research and policy development throughout the world.
LEAP is the world’s leading tool for energy system analysis, climate mitigation and air pollution abatement planning. It is widely used by parties to the UNFCCC to develop nationally determined contributions (NDCs), long-term low emission development strategies, and biennial transparency reports. LEAP is provided free of charge to governments, non-governmental organizations, and academic users in low- and middle-income countries, small island developing states, and to students worldwide.
SEI – developer of LEAP – is pleased to announce a new resource for the LEAP community: the LEAP Publications Database. This database includes over 4800 records of LEAP-related publications, spanning case studies, NDCs, evaluations, methodological developments and other analyses. It draws from peer-reviewed journals as well as reports from governments, international organizations and NGOs.
Freely accessible on the LEAP website, users can search the database by keyword, title, author, abstract, or year, and filter results by country, region, sector, topic, and publication type – and also zero in on the latest NDCs under the “topic” filter. Wherever possible, records include direct links to the full publications.

It is fully integrated with the LEAP platform, allowing users to save favorite records and export citations in BibTeX or RIS formats for use with reference managers such as Zotero, EndNote and Mendeley.
Where relevant, publication authors are linked to their LEAP community profiles, and users are encouraged to add their own publications – a great way to share work and increase visibility within the LEAP community.
The LEAP Publications Database is available now at https://leap.sei.org/publications.
We invite you to explore it and welcome your feedback.
