National Framework for Action on Climate Change Adaptation To implement the National Climate Change Plan, the UAE needs to develop a federal framework for adaptation action in key sectors, based on a robust understanding of the priority risks. In collaboration with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOOCAE), this project entails the formulation of actionable plans to address the following climate risks I critical sectors: (1) health - reduced productivity of outdoor workers due to heat stress; (2) energy - efficiency losses of power plants; reduced power output due to warmer cooling water; deterioration of power facilities; (3) infrastructure - damage to coastal and offshore infrastructure; increased infrastructure maintenance cost; loss of business opportunities due to transport disruptions; reduced reliability of transport infrastructure and buildings; and (4) environment – coral bleaching; loss of wetlands.

By focusing on the aforementioned risks, the project is expected to achieve the following outputs: framework for adaptation actions developed in key sectors; integration of climate risks assessed in the local insurance industry; incorporation of climate adaptation and resilience in government research agenda; stakeholder awareness and capacity on climate change adaptation improved; and institutional coordination on adaptation enhanced through regular stakeholder consultation throughout project implementation. The project aims to enhance the UAE’s long-term resilience to the impacts of climate change through proactive adaptation planning and mainstreaming of climate change adaptation in development policies. This will be done by engaging multiple stakeholders and experts in developing actionable adaptation plans at the sectoral level, thus enhancing local capacity and facilitating interagency collaboration.
Climate Resilient Green Growth in PNG PNG’s primary development strategies – the PNG Vision 2050, the Development Strategic Plan (DSP) 2010-2030 and the National Strategy for Responsible Sustainable Development (StaRS) – lay out the path to achieve green growth. However, sustainable and inclusive development is threatened by the impacts of climate change: 85 percent of PNG’s labor force rely on subsistence agriculture for their livelihoods and are vulnerable to changing climatic conditions. Under the DSP, PNG has committed to securing access to reliable, affordable, and modern clean energy sources for over 70 percent of households and all businesses by 2030. In 2016, nearly 23 percent of the population had access to electricity, and electricity is still often unreliable. Today, PNG’s electricity generation includes 40 percent hydropower and 38 percent diesel, but there are strong possibilities to expand geothermal and, in particular, solar energy. The project objective is to support the Government of PNG to achieve the following long-term targets outlined in PNG Vision 2050 and StaRS i.) Shifting the composition of economic growth to 70% of GDP being derived from renewable or sustainable sectors by 2050 ii.) Ensuring over 50% of PNG citizens are supported to become more resilient to climate change by 2050 iii.) Achieving inclusive growth, with PNG ranked in the top 50 countries in the UN Human Development Index by 2050.
Colombia – GGGI Green Growth Project (2017-2019) The program will adopt a multi-pronged approach with three main outcomes: The first one focuses on further strengthening the policy framework at the national level, promoting an enabling environment for green growth investments and instruments for transitioning towards greener growth in Colombia in the long-run, while ensuring coordinated efforts with the peace building agenda and sub-national level priorities. The second outcome focuses on increasing investments in high value projects key for promoting green growth through more efficient use of natural resources and natural capital protection, particularly in forested areas. In particular, this outcome focuses on supporting the Colombian Government in materializing national deforestation reduction targets and international mitigation commitments through the Joint Declaration of Intent (DoI) for the Cooperation on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) and promoting sustainable rural development, signed with the Governments of Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom (GNUK), with a primary financial support from Norway. If results are achieved under policy milestones (Modality 1) and reduced deforestation results (Modality 2), payments could amount up USD 200 million. GGGI will also present Colombia with opportunities to engage in knowledge exchange to share and learn from peer GGGI member countries that are similar in size of economy, development stage and geographical contexts via its knowledge sharing program for large emerging economies. The project objective is to support the Colombian government in its transition towards a green growth pathway that ensures environmental sustainability and social equity and inclusion in the long run and this project is aligned to IO1. Strengthened national, sub-national and local green growth planning, financing and institutional frameworks and IO3. Improved multi-directional knowledge sharing and learning to empower local and external agents necessary to drive green growth processes in partner governments.

Promoting Sustainable Procurement in Kiribati This country-level project will be delivered under the regional Low Emissions Climate Resilient Development program (PAC02) funded by NZ-MFAT.  This project and budget has already been endorsed by Kiribati government and NZ-FMFAT stakeholders.  

 

This mitigation opportunity calls for technical assistance and capacity building training for the Central Procurement Unit (MFED) within the Government to apply sustainable procurement practices in the procurement of lighting and cooling appliances in Kiribati. This will also include the development of sustainable procurement guidelines for high volume and high carbon intensity products targeting lighting and cooling appliances. The mitigation opportunity will support the development of sustainable procurement practice by government agencies in Kiribati and state-owned enterprises and/or larger private organizations.  

 

Training will be conducted on the sustainable procurement of lighting and cooling appliances.  This will include lighting and space cooling appliances for energy efficiency as an essential component of the training. Training participants are expected to be, but not limited to, public service employees responsible for procurement at the ministry level, Island Council finance officers and clerks, and senior leadership from state-owned enterprises.  There is also the opportunity through this activity to “set a standard” in sustainable procurement and influence procurement in the private sector as well by promoting affordable sustainable products. The idea of cooperative procurement within the public procurement system will be tested.  The possibility of doing the same with some state-owned enterprises and larger private organizations can also be explored.  It may also include sub-regional or bilateral cooperative public procurement with public procurement entities located in other PICs as extension activities (to be considered potentially in a follow-up activity).
Global Program on Sustainable Finance Instruments: Scaling-up Thematic Bond Markets in Developing Countries The intervention delivers demand-led technical assistance to public and private actors across developing countries to raise USD 2 billion earmarked to NDC, SDG and green recovery targets through the issuance of thematic bonds. This is achieved through four Outcomes:

1.       National policy frameworks are enhanced: supporting financial regulators to develop regulatory frameworks and guidelines to mitigate perceived thematic bond risks, lift barriers to issuance and promote alignment with international standards.

2.       Capacity of prospective issuers enhanced: in collaboration with Luxemburg Green Exchange and LGX Academy (LGX) deliver capacity building webinars targeting potential issuers, stock exchanges and regulators, followed by bilateral on-the-job training to incentive and promote issuances. Country-level capacity building will be complemented by international learning networks, providing a platform for capital market actors across geographies to receive specialized training, share lessons learned, and recommendations.

3.       USD 2 billion mobilized for NDC and SDG activities via thematic bond issuances: delivering pre- and post-issuance support to prospective issuers. GGGI will support the development of issuance strategies, bond frameworks, processes for project selection and evaluation, impact reporting and management of proceeds. GGGI will assist the development, evaluation and selection of underlying project portfolios and support SPO processes to demonstrate alignment with NDCs and SDGs targets. Following the issuance, GGGI will support issuers prepare impact and allocation reports to ensure monitoring and reporting of environmental and social benefits

4.       Program knowledge is shared: promoting knowledge sharing via participation to events and case studies. The project will leverage its broad base of beneficiaries to collect recommendations and share these with ICMA’s members and other relevant stakeholders.

Provide expert support to Peru's government (MINAM) to help them finish its JDI Phase II roadmap In September 2014, the government of Peru signed a Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) with the governments of Norway and Germany. This JDI aims to promote the reduction of GHG emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). The implementation of JDI´s Phase 1 and Phase 2 are necessary to start Phase 3, the payment for the reduction of GHG emissions (source: http://www.bosques.gob.pe/archivo/23-apoyo-dci-wwf-pncb-norad.pdf). In 2021, this collaboration was extended, as the US and the UK were included in Peru´s JDI, extending the original declaration from 2014 (source: https://www.nicfi.no/partner-countries/peru/). Currently, Peru´s Ministry of the Environment (MINAM) is working to finish writing its JDI Phase II Implementation Roadmap (JPIR). The donor reports that MINAM has had difficulties finishing this document, but now has April 29, 2022 as a deadline. The donor reports that this document is necessary for the JDI to move forward. Due to Peru´s political instability, and MINAM´s inability to retain its best decision makers, the donor is concerned that MINAM may be unable to meet JPIR´s new deadline. To avoid this situation, the donor (Norway) is requesting GGGI´s assistance.
