Focal Area and Cross Cutting
Strategies – Climate Change
GEF Expanded Constituency Workshop
October 11 – 13, 2011
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Guiding Principles for GEF-5 Strategy
• Responsiveness to Convention guidance
• Consideration of national circumstances of recipient countries
• Cost-effectiveness in achieving global environmental benefits
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
• Comprehensive interventions through integration of transport,
energy, water, and housing sector activities will be encouraged
• Address not only climate change mitigation but also local air
pollution, traffic congestion, etc.
• 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
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
