Objective

  • Support the Government of Indonesia to better implement Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs)
  • Implement NAMAs through variety of public and private financing mechanisms so that it can achieve the national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction target

Description

Indonesia is one of the first countries worldwide to have established a National Climate Fund, the Indonesian Climate Change Trust Fund (ICCTF). The ICCTF reflects the need to pool and coordinate funds at the national level for the implementation of the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) within the context of the National Climate Change Mitigation Action Plan (RAN-GRK) and to support the implementation of the Adaptation Action Plan (RAN-API). Set up in 2009 by the Government of Indonesia (GoI), ICCTF underwent from 2009-2014 the so-called “PREP-ICCTF” phase, during which UNDP acted as the interim trustee of the ICCTF. Objective of this phase was to build up the necessary processes and organisational capacity of the Indonesian Government to self-manage the trust fund in a subsequent phase. In 2015, the management was handed over to a unit within the Ministry of Development Planning (Bappenas). Starting from this basis, the project intends to further develop the ICCTF in its institutional arrangements and mechanism as well as in its procedures and capacities to enhance access of local public and private sectors to international climate finance according to good financial governance principles.

Field of intervention

  • The ICCTF is conceptualized as a public financing mechanism for the financing of NAMAs.
  • The capacities of ICCTF for the implementation of the public financing mechanism are developed.
  • Private financing mechanisms for the Implementation of NAMAs are identified and adapted to the Indonesian context.
  • The inter-institutional coordination for the financing of national measures via a combination of public and private financing mechanisms is improved.

Targeted beneficiaries

Direct target groups:

  • Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS), Ministry of Finance, Financial Service Authority (OJK), ICCTF and local institutions.

Indirect target groups:

  • All beneficiaries of the ICCTF as a public finance mechanism for supported NAMAs.
  • The Indonesian population that would benefit from low emissions growth programs as well as the international community due to enhanced mitigation actions by Indonesia.

Risk-based National Adaptation Planning (Risk Nap)
Risk-based National Adaptation Plan
by TUEWAS|July 6, 2017

Risk-based National Adaptation Plan

Risk-based National Adaptation Planning (Risk Nap)
Risk-based National Adaptation Planning (Risk Nap)

Objective

  • To inform decision makers and stakeholders on the national and subnational levels about expected climate changes and their projected impacts
  • To develop the NAP taking into account the results of the CCRA
  • To integrate the priorities of the CCRA-based NAP into sector policies/strategies and subnational planning instruments
  • To align financing instruments to support adaptation measures with the requirements of the Risk-NAP

Description

In 2015, as a reaction to increasing loss and damages caused by climate change, Thailand has started to develop its National Adaptation Plan (NAP). Although adaptation is part of the Climate Change Master Plan as well as other national policies, specific information on climate related risks and options to adapt to these risks are still lacking. At the same time, insufficient integration of adaptation needs in subnational planning processes is being observed.

Hence, the project aims at supporting the development of a risk-based national adaptation plan (NAP) and integrating it into national and subnational planning processes, in order to strengthen Thailand’s capacity to adapt to the risks of climate change.

The risk-based National Adaptation Plan project is financed by the German International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Ministry for Environment, Nature protection, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB), and will support the Thai Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MoNRE) and its Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP), as well as the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning (DPT) of the Thai Ministry of Interior (MoI).

Achievements

  • Gap Analysis for Thailand Vulnerability Assessment
  • Sectoral Climate Change Impact Chain Development
  • Stocktaking for National Adaptation Planning and Subnational Adaptation Planning
  • Sectoral Climate Change Mainstreaming Process
  • Study on Framework and Scoping for Adaptation Planning in Pilot Areas

Support to the Climate Change Commission II

Objective

  • The Climate Change Commission and other stakeholders of the Philippines ensure a coherent implementation of the climate change policy at the national and subnational levels,
  • And contribute to further development of the international climate regime.

Description

The project strengthens the Climate Change Commission and other key actors in implementing and coordinating the national climate change regime as well as developing and operationalizing national contributions to the international climate change regime. Projects results shall be fed into the international climate change negotiations and into relevant international fora (e.g. CVF) by the Climate Change Commission.

The project’s climate change policy measures mobilize public and private resources for “low carbon” solutions. The implementation of land-use and development plans relevant for adaptation secures income structures and prevents economic and ecological damage caused by climate change. Climate-smart economic development increases the competitiveness of the private sector. Renewable energies stabilize the energy supply, increase the attractiveness of the Philippines as an investment location and promote economic development in remote areas.

Field of intervention

  • Implementation of the national climate change policy within the frame-work of the Philippine international climate change commitment
  • Climate-proof land-use and development planning at local level
  • Climate finance
  • Renewable energy and energy planning,
  • Awareness raising, Knowledge management, networking/interfacing. The projects results will be fed into the international climate change regime.

Targeted beneficiaries

  • Staff of the partner government agencies, both at the national and local government level
  • Representatives academe, civil society organizations, and private sector
  • Ultimate beneficiaries are the Filipino people affected by climate change

Achievements

Capacity Building for the Establishment of Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) in China
by TUEWAS|May 22, 2017

Capacity Building for the Establishment of Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) in China

 http://ets-china.org

Objective

  • To strengthen the capacity of key stakeholders involved in ETS design and implementation at the national and local level
  • To provide policy options regarding the preparation and establishment of ETS to China’s key institutions and involved stakeholders
  • To enhance the dialogue between political decision-makers and the private sector and sets out to involve all stakeholders, especially local stock exchanges, financial service providers, as well as verification and trading companies and industry

Description

The Sino-German project is jointly implemented by GIZ and the National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). The project supports knowledge and experience exchange between Chinese, European and German experts and key stakeholders related to emissions trading. The introduction of this market-based approach in China is seen as a major contribution to the achievement of the government’s ambitious emissions reduction targets.

China has published new greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction commitments in preparation for the 2015 Paris climate negotiations. The country will reach its peak emissions level by 2030. It also intends to reduce its emissions per unit of GDP by 60 to 65 per cent during the same period. China had already committed itself to a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in emissions intensity by 2020. An emissions trading scheme (ETS) is being introduced on a gradual basis in order to achieve these targets.

This makes China the first emerging economy to launch a trading scheme to limit GHG emissions. A pilot phase for this complex market instrument has been running since 2013 in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing and Shenzhen, as well as in Guangdong and Hubei Provinces. The project provides advice and training to further support the nationwide roll out of the ETS, which is scheduled for 2017.

Field of intervention

  • The project provides technical advice and supports the strengthening of capacities for the development, establishment and implementation of ETS in China. The exchange of experiences and know-how between Chinese, German and European institutions is supported through advisory sequences and training measures such as study tours, workshops and job shadowing.
  • On the local level, the project addresses the pilot regions and assists local institutions in charge of ETS implementation in testing of and making adjustments to the ETS after its establishment. Companies covered by emissions trading as well as further participants in the trading (such as financial service providers, verifiers) are also included.
  • On a national level, the Domestic Policy and Compliance Division of the Department of Climate Change of NDRC is supported. In addition, demand-driven support in assessment and evaluation of the experiences made within the pilot schemes is provided, especially regarding legislative-institutional questions.

Targeted beneficiaries

  • In preparation of the national ETS roll-out, representatives of Chinese non-pilot provincial authorities have participated in continued trainings on emissions trading. As the pilot regions have begun to successfully trade emission certificates and gain initial experiences, the project is stepping up its efforts to assist the Chinese Government in its preparation and establishment of the national ETS. These efforts concentrate on establishing the necessary legislative framework and national institutions.
    Looking forward, the project shall support in the set-up and optimisation of local trading platforms and prepare local government, verifiers and enterprises for their roles and ways to best participate in the national ETS. Knowledge exchange between European industry representatives and national experts will play a key role in the project.

Achievements

  • The project is currently focusing on the pilot regions, but is also supporting national level ETS development. Among others, the project provided technical advice on the design of carbon registries and the establishment of trading platforms in the regions. Study tours to Germany and Europe, as well as experts visits to China, helped to establish an expert exchange and deepen the knowledge of institutions and procedures in the European ETS. In order to involve all relevant stakeholders, including the private sector, the project also provides trainings for companies subject to ETS in the form of an intensive dialogue between European and Chinese industry representatives focused on sharing knowledge and experiences to prepare Chinese companies for the challenges of emissions trading.
    The project strives to support Chinese stakeholders to draw on the lessons learnt in Europe and to establish a carbon market which suits China’s circumstances.

Green Economy and Locally-Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Indonesia (GE-LAMA-I)
by TUEWAS|May 22, 2017

Green Economy and Locally-Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Indonesia (GE-LAMA-I)

 www.giz.de/en/worldwide/57478.html

Objective

  • To improve the capacity of 2 provinces and 6 districts for developing land use plan towards green economy and for developing and implementation of four LAMAs green growth initiatives to reduce emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land uses as well as socioeconomic growth promotion

Description

Indonesian economy is growing rapidly with land-based economic activities as major contributor. This creates challenges for Indonesia commitment to reduce its emission, by 26% – 41% from its business as usual level by 2020. A green economy concept should bridge the two agendas combined with the social objective to improve social inclusiveness on local level in the context of land use change processes and other land-use-related economic activities. Locally appropriate mitigation actions (LAMAs) are expected to be those economic activities at local level that serve the three characteristics of green economy: low GHG emissions, resource efficient, and socially inclusive.

Green Economy and Locally-Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Indonesia (GE-LAMA-I) is an initiative for building local government capacities in planning low emission development, and in developing four locally and/or nationally appropriate mitigation actions. The project enables local governments and stakeholders in two provinces to develop efficient land use and land-use change scenarios through an inclusive process using user friendly analytical tools, such as LUMENS (Land Use Planning for Development with Multiple Environmental Services).

“Chosen scenarios will be translated into local mitigation actions under provincial greenhouse gas emission reduction action plans (RAD-GRK) and included in mid-term development plans as reference for governments and all stakeholders in determining policies, regulations and local government programs, as well as budget plans”

Based on these plans, the project is facilitating the development of four locally-appropriate mitigation actions (LAMAs) for upscaling to nationally-appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs).

Achievements

        As part of the effort to mainstream climate change mitigation actions into national and local development plans,GE-LAMA-I has set three goals:

  • Progressive national and local policies that correspond with global actions to support the implementation of NAMAs and green growth initiatives in land-based sectors, including policy coordination and stakeholder inclusion
  • Tools, syntheses and comparative studies on land-use planning for low-emission development strategies that include multiple environmental services
  • Concepts and capacity building to support implementation for four land-based sector NAMA green growth initiatives based on the National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Plan (RAN-GRK)
