Guiding Principles for GEF-5 Strategy
•
•
•
•
Responsiveness to Convention guidance
Consideration of national circumstances of recipient countries
Cost-effectiveness in achieving global environmental benefits
6 Strategic Objectives for Climate Change Mitigation
SO1: Demonstration, deployment, and transfer
of innovative low-carbon technologies
•
•
Innovative technologies are
targeted, but also priority
technologies that are commercially
available but have not been
adopted in their markets.
Technical assistance for:
– creating enabling policy environment
for tech transfer
– capacity building
– establishment of tech transfer
mechanisms
– N-S and S-S cooperation
– purchase of licenses
– pilot investments
– development of local capacity to adapt
exogenous technologies to local
conditions and technology integration
SO2: Market transformation for energy
efficiency in industry and the building sector
•
•
•
•
•
Industrial sector: energy efficient
technologies and practices
Buildings: residential, commercial,
and public buildings, both new and
retrofitting; building envelope and
energy-using systems are covered
Solar energy and shallow ground
thermal capacity for heating and
cooling
May support phase-out of HCFCs
used in industry and buildings
Combination of TA on policy,
regulation, and capacity building;
financing mechanisms; and pilots
SO3: Investment in renewable energy
technologies
•
•
•
•
•
•
On-grid renewable energy programs
Decentralized production of electric
power and the use of indigenous
renewable sources
Enhancement of technical capacities of
SMEs to provide installation, operation,
and maintenance services for RETs.
Methane recovery from biomass wastes
for power generation or heat
production.
Sustainable production of biomass for
biofuels
Combination of TA for policy and
regulatory support, capacity building,
and establishing financing mechanisms
for investments.
SO4: Energy efficient, low-carbon transport and
urban systems
•
•
•
•
Integration of transport, energy,
water, and housing sector activities
Address local air pollution and
traffic congestion
TA in transport and urban planning,
development of innovative
financing mechanisms, awareness
campaigns, and investments in
high-performance technologies
Greater attention to measuring and
quantifying GEB (GEF-STAP manual
for calculating GHG benefits)
SO5: Conservation and enhancement of
carbon stocks through sustainable
management of land use and forestry
•
•
•
•
Enhance, restore and manage carbon
stocks and storage on forest and nonforest land (including peatland)
Reduce emissions of carbon stocks
Activities include: good practice
demonstrations, establishment of
national C monitoring systems,
strengthen policies and institutions,
etc.
Linked to Sustainable Forest
Management/ REDD+ incentive
mechanism
SO6: Enabling activities and capacity building
• Preparation of National Communications by non-Annex I Parties
• Preparation and updating of TNAs especially for countries that did
not receive support for TNAs during GEF-4
• Subject to future COP guidance, the GEF may finance activities to
support capacity development and implementation of Article 6 of
the Convention on education, training, and public awareness
• The GEF can play a role in the emerging carbon markets
– Carbon finance set-aside is available
COP Mandate to GEF on Technology
Transfer
• Poznan Strategic Program on Technology
Transfer (COP decision 2/CP.14)
– Support for Technology Needs Assessments
– Support for Technology Transfer Pilot
Projects
– Dissemination of successfully demonstrated
technologies and know-how
• GEF-5 replenishment
– $4.3 billion total (six focal areas)
– $1.4 billion for climate change mitigation
GEF-5 Support for NAMAs
1.
Identify long-range emission scenarios
 BAU, sectoral crediting baseline, ambitious targets
2.
Identify mitigation opportunities and costs
 Low hanging fruits achieved by unilateral efforts, plus
opportunities which may need additional international
financing and support
3.
4.
Basic steps
towards NAMAs
Develop MRV methodologies to be applied to one/several
sectors and pilot MRV activities
Optional component: pilot testing of sectoral approach
 NAMA development could focus on specific sector/sectors, facilitating
the development of sectoral goals and funding proposals
 Pilot testing could also serve as an entry point to potential future
carbon finance, i.e., sectoral crediting
