Mongolia Transition to Green Development - Phase 2 Mongolia’s resource-intensive development and climate change 
vulnerability have created urgency for a transition to green 
growth. Economic transformation over the past 20 years has 
been driven by the extraction of Mongolia’s mineral resources 
and rapid urbanization. However, Mongolia’s reliance on 
commodities exports for growth has not only left it vulnerable 
to price fluctuations, but has exacerbated the impacts of 
climate change. 
Sustaining recent development gains in Mongolia faces a number 
of challenges:
Electricity generation infrastructure reliance on 
coal‑fired sources; rapid urbanization with 68% of population living in 
settlements ‑ primarily in Ulaanbaatar; lagging poverty reduction despite strong GDP growth; exposure to harmful urban air pollution; and
limited capacity to finance green growth in the country Support Mongolia’s efforts toward fostering economic growth with greater resource efficiency, 
greater social inclusion and lower GHG emissions intensity 
Increase awareness and inclusion of green growth principles in policies and planning

CRGG Training and Capacity Building for Climate Action Building on these strengths and experience, and at the request of GGGI member countries PNG and Australia, GGGI has developed this project proposal to support PNG to provide professional training on CRGG for CCDA staff and civil servants from other priority government agencies important to climate-resilient green growth. 

Outcome:  CCDA and government agencies at national and provincial levels have increased capacity to lead the country in promoting climate resilience, low carbon growth and sustainable development through a targeted group of trained professionals on climate resilience and green growth.

End of Project indicator/target: At the end of the one-year program, an in-depth on the job policy development training will have been provided to at least 125 staff of CCDA and several other CRGG relevant sector agencies.

Approach 

The activities will mainly focus on skills development of CCDA and government agencies in their efforts to strengthen their decision-making process, coordination across sectors and planning for climate change at national, local, and global level. GGGI adds value to reach more beneficiaries in the national and provincial government due to its expanded capacity building approach that includes:

 • Intensive courses for key decision makers in CCDA and key line ministries

• A mentoring program to provide on the job training to CCDA and other mid-level professionals on project preparation

• A fellowship program to foment both knowledge creation and sustainability on green growth policy programming and support 

These courses are based on a skills development approach that addresses the needs of CCDA and government officials and imparts measurably stronger CRGG planning and implementation capacity by the project conclusion. These training activities will be complemented with a specific training to maximize PNG government presence at global fora including Conference of the Parties under UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The overall objective is to increase the climate resilience and green growth workforce of the Government of Papua New Guinea.

Kiribati Green and Climate Resilient Island Development Kiribati, consisting of 33 widely scattered islands, is highly vulnerable to climate change and impacted by rising sea levels, increasingly frequent and severe storms, permanent erosion of the shoreline, frequent seawater inundation on freshwater resources, and reduced food security. The country also faces a number of structural economic challenges given its remoteness, small market size, and limited institutional capacity. In 2013, the Government of Kiribati (GoK) adopted a Wholeof Island-Approach (WOIA) for outer islands to reduce the extreme vulnerability of climate change impacts. Led by the Office of the President, the approach is closely linked to the Kiribati Joint Implementation Plan on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (KJIP). The GoK has requested technical support to address implementation challenges in the WOIA, particularly to identify sustainable micro-scale income generation opportunities and to improve availability and access to green infrastructure services for the achievement of development objectives. To support Kiribati in achieving more climate change resilient, diversified and secure livelihoods through support to green micro-businesses and
improved, climate change resilient infrastructure services.

Structuring of a green ammoniac and green hydrogen production program in Morocco Currently, most of the hydrogen (95%) is produced from fossil fuels through the chemical process of steam reforming of methane. However, Morocco aims to ensure a green, sustainable, large scale, competitively priced production of hydrogen with a reduced environmental impact. In this sense, other clean production methods are being considered such as low-temperature water electrolysis. This involves the dissociation of the water molecule using renewable electrical energy mainly solar or wind or both as it is the case for this project. Hydrogen produced in this way is called “Green”. This green hydrogen could be used in the power sector, transportation or to decarbonize the industry. Another approach allows the valorisation of Green Hydrogen into another primary molecule that are in high demand as raw materials in the industry. Examples include Ammonia, which is used in fertilizer industry, and Methanol which is widely used in the petrochemical industry. These raw materials, also green, could be stored and transported and then used in pioneer countries in the fight against climate change wishing to drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This way of valorising Green Hydrogen is commonly known as “Power to X” process. ●        Monitor the technical performance and efficiency of the plant, both at the system level and at the component and sub-system level

●        Monitoring of the plant’s financial performance including investments, operation and maintenance costs, transportation and selling price of ammonia production

Mitigating Deforestation in Peru through Land Use Formalization Half of Peru’s GHG emissions come from the land use sector. Most of these emissions are a result of deforestation processes related to smallholder agricultural producers in the Peruvian Amazon. A major driver of deforestation is the lack of land tenure rights for smallholders which reduces their commercial opportunities, makes access to financial resources difficult, and increases overall risk. 
To address this issue, the Government of Peru has developed an innovative land tenure mechanism to formalize smallholder farmers called the Agroforestry Concession (AfC). AfCs offer a renewable usufruct contract for 40 years to thousands of eligible farmers currently encroaching on public forest domain in the Peruvian Amazon. Upon award, farmers commit to avoid deforesting, conserve remnant forests, maintain or establish sustainably managed agroforestry systems, and implement soil and water conservation measures. 
Public financial incentives need to support the small-scale farmers that choose to enroll in the AfC system and comply with its environmental requirements, but they are currently not aligned towards this goal. A key challenge for AfC adoption is ensuring that tangible incentives are in place. Providing secure land tenure through AfC contracts alone will not be enough to ensure widespread adoption of the AfC system and compliance with its environmental terms. If current public agricultural programs were to support this new mechanism, it would offer increased opportunity to actively engage more smallholder producers than at present. More importantly, support through public funds will lower overall risk in zero-deforestation supply chains of small-scale producers and provide the foundation for green private investment. The project objective is to align agricultural public funds or programs with environmental and social safeguards to incentivize the adoption and compliance with the new AfC system, thus reducing deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon and improving livelihoods of small-scale farmers. GGGI will work with the Government of Peru (GoP) to incorporate AfC possession as eligibility criteria for prioritized public incentive programs to promote the formalization of small-scale agricultural producers in the Amazon through the AfCs

Capacity Building to Strengthen Sustainable
 Implementation of Renewable Energy Technologies for Rural Energy Acces The Melanesian countries have the lowest levels of electrification (Fiji 89%, Vanuatu 29%, Solomon Islands 15% and PNG 10%) while having the most renewable energy resources in the Pacific region, including hydro, wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. Green growth in the Pacific face implementation challenges, particularly with enabling renewable energy to reach provincial and rural projects. Local Government officials, communities, small businesses, and traditional leaders lack access to information and training on green economy and renewable energy principles, to enable them to make more informed decisions on their local resources and the use of these resources (energy, water, land use), and to ensure the most sustainable management practices are utilized for their existing and planned renewable energy projects. Without this information and knowledge, local government and communities risk making decisions that promote “brown” energy and/or damage the environment or result in failed renewable energy technology implementation. As these groups are the decision-makers on the ground to operationalize green growth, this group, which the project targets, need to have their capacity in green economy and renewable energy strengthened. Training needs to be adapted and delivered on-site or in nearby provincial centers to provide opportunities for local officials and community/traditional leaders to acquire knowledge “on-the-job.” The project objective is to strengthen informed and inclusive decision-making by resource owners and local government officials for Integration of Green Economy (GE) and Renewable Energy (RE) into Local Level Planning and to strengthen Implementation of Renewable energy (RE) infrastructure for Rural Electrification. This project is aligned with IO3. Improved multi-directional knowledge sharing and learning to empower local and external agents necessary to drive green growth processes in partner governments.
