Guide and support response of WBG to
development challenges posed by climate
change
As part of core development efforts, effective
response to climate change must combine:


Mitigation of global GHG emissions—to avoid the
unmanageable
Adaptation at regional, national and local levels—
to manage the unavoidable

Financing



Include climate analysis in Bank AAA / CAS to identify large
scale, long-term mitigation opportunities
Consider carbon option in all projects under preparation
Create synergies and fill funding gaps by blending financial
instruments (FCPF/CPF, GEF, CIF, IBRD/IDA)
Develop new “climate loans” for financing and risk
management.

Examples for Strategic Mitigation Programs



Renewable energy development would meet future energy demand and
help transform the power sector’s GHG emissions trajectory.
 Geothermal in ID, PH, hydro in VN, offshore wind in CN
Public transport and integration of work and living space would frame
future transportation and production choices, putting transport-related
emissions on a lower carbon trajectory while reducing air pollution.
 EcoCities in CN, Urban Transport in TH (Bangkok)
Promotion of energy efficiency would lift private and public investments in
EE and reduce future energy demand and associated emissions.
 Rural / provincial EE program in CN.
Use of waste biomass and better manure management in the agroindustry would reduce GHG emissions and reduce pollution.
 Livestock biogas energy program in CN.
Saving remaining rainforests and providing economic alternatives would
eliminate large streams of GHG emissions while protecting biodiversity.
 REDD readiness plans in VN, Lao PDR, ID.

World Development Report 2010
A climate-smart world within reach if we…
Act now: to stay close to a 2° C warming target
Act together: for fairness and cost-efficiency,
starting with the high-income countries taking
aggressive action
Act differently: a transformation needed to reduce
emissions 50-80% in the next decades

CPF – Objectives and Projects in EAP

Scaling up of carbon finance through efforts that:

integrate carbon into investment decisions early on

work with client countries over a long period of time

move to more programmatic and sector-wide approaches

commit to long-term carbon purchases post-2012

Support transition to a low-carbon economy
Examples in EAP
–
–
–
–
Vietnam: development small scale hydropower
Indonesia: scaling up of geothermal potential
China: support for IGCC pilot plants
China: energy from agricultural waste
