Transcript Concept of the Seminar

The 16th Asia-Pacific Seminar on Climate Change
5-8 September, 2006, Jakarta, Indonesia
Linking Climate Change and Development
-Asia-Pacific Approach to Climate Friendly and Climate Change-resilient
Society-
Note by the Secretariat of the AP Seminar
(as of August 23, 2006)
Climate Change and
Development?
Development
Climate Change
A serious global concern,
which requires world’s
collective efforts at different
levels and sectors. While
mainly driven by the topdown structure of Climate
Change regime, there are
structural weakness in
implementing at grassroots
level. One big challenge is
inter-linkage with
development concerns. It may
greatly influence on
development and vice versa.
Another serious global
concern,for which efforts have
been made continuously for
long time. Development should
be realized on a country-driven
basis, and technically and
financially assisted by external
and domestic agencies.
Development may happens in
different layers of society and in
context. It may influence
Climate Change (GHG
mitigation and adaptation to it)
and vice versa.
Who are stakeholders?
(participants of the Seminar)
Two different brothers/sisters that should work together…..
A Common Goal
(Sustainable Development)
Climate Change
Community
Development
Community
Positive Voices
Co-benefits approach, win-win results,
integration/mainstreaming, driving each
other forward..
But question isNegative Attitude
And in tangible
Reluctance to Trade-off/prioritization,
HOW?
terms
why-bother? Too early to think about
CC, and Invisible Relevance etc.
What are objectives of
the Seminar?
Objectives of the Seminar
Through the 16th AP Seminar…
• Participants may acquire deeper understanding
on interactions between issues of climate change
and development in theoretical and practical
terms;
• Participants may explore possibilities to seek
integrating climate change concerns into their
development practices (and vice versa) using 4
different policy tools on the Agenda;
• The Seminar will showcase examples of tangible
practices that address the issues of CC and
development, which may be replicated in other
places. This may help participants recognize
possible approaches (if not diagnosis) to these
issues in Asia and the Pacific.
What kind of topic do we
discuss?
Structure of the 16th AP Seminar
Setting the Scene
-Implication of Climate Change on Development PlanningUnderstanding interactions btw CC & D at
conceptual level
CDM
Adaptation
Education,
Training &
Public
Awareness
Co-benefits
How can we address these specific
themes/activities while ensuring strategic
linkage with development concerns?
How should these policy tools be used to
integrate climate change issues into
development planning/activities in different
levels in concrete terms?
Asia-Pacific Approach(es) to Climate Change and
Development?
Session I
Setting the Scene
-Implications of Climate Change Policy on
Regional, and National Development-
Structure of Session I
Theoretical Base of the Interaction between
Climate Change and Development
(Mr. Ian Noble, World Bank)*TBC
Perspectives on Regional Development
Policy
(Dr. Mikiko Kainuma, NIES)
Perspectives from National Development
Planning
(Indonesian National Development
Committee)*TBC
Perspective from Local Governments
(An ICLEI Member City)
+
Roles to be played by Development
Assistance Agency
(Mr. Masato Kawanishi, JICA)
Interaction
btw CC and
Development
will be
highlighted in
different
layers of
governance
structures.
The status of
integration
today could be
especially
noted.
As an essential
stakeholder to
provide external
supports,
perspectives from
assistance
development
agencies would be
provided.
Session II
Clean Development
Mechanism
CDM is an effective tool to drive GHG mitigation
efforts by private sectors, while bringing other
benefits. Yet, our expectation on CDM is higher
than its actual status. What should be done to
meet such expectations?
Structure of Session II
Updates of Institutional Aspects of CDM by
Liana Bratasida (CDM EB member)
Recent Carbon Market Development
(Mr. Dinesh Babu, Asia Carbon)
Perspectives from Project Developers
(Mr. Roberto Yap, Carbon Finance Solutions)
+
China’s Experience in promoting CDM
(Mr. Wangshu, China)
JKAP and JBIC’s enabling activities
(Mr. Takashi Hongo, JBIC)
Private Sector Presentation* TBD
PART I : As CDM
is governed by
the development
of its institution,
market and other
technical aspects,
the current
updates will be
introduced by
experts.
PART II: Though
there still are
several barriers
before CDM fully
realizes its
objectives, the
efforts to create
enabling
environment are
progressively
made in different
ways. The session
will discuss how
we can drive it
forward further.
Session III
Adaptation to Climate Change
Adaptation to climate change requires more
location/context specific-response. Depending on
selection of policy options, ongoing future
development and development activities may be highly
affected. To minimize negative impacts, and to
increase preparedness and resilience, how we should
integrate/mainstream adaptation concerns into regular
activities?
Structure of Session III
Key Elements of Increased Adaptive
Capacity in AP region(Dr. Rizardi Boar,
Bogor Agricultural University)
+
Korea’s Efforts to Adapt to Climate Change
(Mr.Hyn-tae Kim, Korea )
Perspectives from Australia’s activity

Mainstreaming Adaptation to Climate
Change into National Development Policy
(Ms. Pepetua Latasi, Tuvalu)
Role of Internationl Financial Institution

Scoping Activities of APN vis-à-vis
Adaptation to cliamte change (APN)
Dr. Boer’s speech is
expected to
highlight key
elements of
adaptation in AP visà-vis development
concern.
Then, the Session
will see cases from
countries to
increase their
adaptive capacity
Then, speakers will
be approaching to
“integration” or
“mainstreaming” ,
and provide tools,
measures, and
vehicles to address
such needs, from
their experiences.
Session IV
Education, Training and
Public Awareness
The Asia-Pacific Regional Workshop on Art.6 of
the Convention(held in conjunction with APS15)
was a big success. Its result proved that Art.6
related activities plays a cross-cutting and
reproductive role of different efforts.
Structure of Session IV

Climate Change (Mr. Dadang Hilman,
MOEI)
Linkage between Awareness Raising and
Adaptation Strategies (Mr. Tuare Upoko,

speakers will
showcase their
own activities,
whose generic
elements may be
taken into other
activities.
Following to the
AP Regional
Workshop, how
the Seminar may
support
UNFCCC’s Art.6
related activities
will be discussed,
taking up two
different website
based vehicle.
Session V/Special Session
Co-benefits
Since the 14th AP Seminar in Sydney, Australia, the
topic of “co-benefits” has been discussed as one of a
strong policy tool. While climate change-related
discussion may sometimes look restrictive at its first
glance, co-benefits that would drive “opportunity
oriented efforts”, will capture attention of those who
were not involved in our loop in the past.
The session’s result will be reported to Better Air
Quality Asia 2006 in December, in Yogyakarta.
Structure of Session V
