The Paris Agreement
• A legally binding, universal agreement
• 189 nationally determined contributions (NDCs)
• Ambitious long-term goals (well-below 2°C/pursue
1.5°C/global peaking asap/climate neutrality in the
second half of the century)
• A new "global goal" on adaptation
• Dynamic 5-year ambition cycle
• Enhanced transparency and accountability
• Adaptation at political par with mitigation
• Support for poor and vulnerable countries

OBJECTIVES
Promoting low emissions and climate-resilient development
through, among others:
-
-
-
supporting countries in building capacity for low emission
development strategies (LEDS) and related nationally
appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs)
supporting development countries in designing, preparing and
submitting Intended Nationally Determined Contributions
(INDC), which allow governments to determine what effort
they will make to reduce emissions
promoting Low-Emissions Urban Development Strategies in
Emerging Economy Countries
promoting International Cooperative Initiatives (ICI) and
encouraging low-emission development pathways in key
sectors like energy efficiency, renewable energy or the reform
of energy subsidies
promoting the development and transfer of climate relevant
technologies
Climate
Action
ENGAGEMENTS
It is planned to
continue mitigation
programmes with
at least € 150-200
million over the
coming years
(2014-2020).
Supporting resilience to natural disasters
GCCA+
Given the inextricable links between climate change and
natural disasters , support resilience and disaster risk prevention,
management and reduction through, among others:
-
-
incorporating disaster risk reduction into its development
cooperation activities
promoting an integrated approach to building resilience,
bringing together humanitarian action, long-term development
cooperation and on-going political engagement, and
maximising synergies between interventions across thematic
areas and international agendas
promoting DRR and adaptation as twin drivers of sustainable
and resilient development
supporting and accelerating the implementation of the
comprehensive regional disaster risk reduction strategies and
frameworks
enhancing disaster risk management (DRM) and climate
change adaptation
supporting the mainstreaming of climate change risk
assessment and adaptation into policies and programmes
promoting, innovating and scaling-up ecosystem-based
disaster risk reduction in vulnerable countries and regions

EU Cooperation on energy
OBJECTIVE: help provide affordable and reliable access to
sustainable energy, and contribute to sustainable
development
ENGAGEMENTS: The EU has initiative focal energy
cooperation with more than 30 partner countries, to which
the EU will allocate more than €3 billion through bilateral
and regional envelopes over the next seven years, helping
leverage between €15 and 30 billion in loans and equity
investments

ElectriFI
OBJECTIVE: blending instrument
leveraging private finance for the
provision of access to sustainable

EU International cooperation: delivering on finance
commitments
The EU is a leader in the provision of climate finance for developing countries –€14.5 bn in 2014
alone to support mitigation and adaptation
At least 20 per cent of the EU budget in the 2014-2020 period will be spent on climate-related projects and
policies, in the EU and externally. EU development cooperation will contribute to achieving the 20 per cent
overall commitment, with an estimated €14bn from this budget for climate spending in developing countries
in the period 2014-2020.
$4.6bn from EU Member States to the Green Climate Fund in addition to bilateral and
multilateral funding, and a commitment to scale up private finance too.
EU-funded Global Climate Change Alliance supports 51 projects in 38 countries

Lessons learned
• Cooperation, implementation with and thru
NGOs has been very positive success story
• Civil
society
approach
to
adaptation,
mitigation, renewable energy, efficiency
should be strengthened
