  1. Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Energy Ms. SezinSinanoglu Resident Representative Power conference 15 May 2012 Ulaanbaatar Mongolia

  2. Outline • Linkages between human development and energy access • UN Initiative – Sustainable energy for all • Key elements of sustainable energy development • Mongolia – MDG progresses and challenges • Relevant UNDP Support • Further energy sector cooperation potentials • Conclusions 2

  3. Human development and energy access • Close link between energy poverty & income poverty • Energy is expensive & resources are exhaustible • For advancement of HD investment in sustainable energy is essential: • Globally, 1.3 Billion people lack modern energy service • Provision with <1% increase of global carbon emissions possible • Investment of $48 billion per year needed • Great advancement in energy efficiency under green economy: • ~40% decrease in global energy demand by 2050 • Significant increase in clean energy investments underway • US $162 billion in 2009 • US$180-200 billion in 2010 3

  4. MDG - sustainable energy linkages

  5. 2012 – Year for Sustainable energy for all • The Secretary-General’s Initiative – a comprehensive approach with 3 goals. • Make use of collective UN strengths to:  • Make Sustainable Energy for All agenda international priority • Achieve Rio+20 commitments for three global goals and implementation mechanisms.

  6. Key elements of sustainable energy development • The Institutional Framework • Governments: provide enabling environment and regulatory framework • Private sector to manufacture, sell and service energy products • NGOs/CBOs: community mobilization, consumer awareness, information dissemination • Financial institutions: loans and micro-financing • mix of financing options, e.g. subsidy, user contribution and loan • building capacities of MFIs and suppliers • The right technology - a robust modern technology • Suitable to the local lifestyle • Possible to expand and create employment

  7. Mongolia – MDG progresses

  8. Mongolia - challenges • Trade-off between economic growth & ecosystem balance • Inefficiency in energy and material use (often poverty driven): • High intensity of energy in production • Lack of technology transition and know-how • MDG Targets – more than a half are off-track • High economic growth vs. persistent poverty rate • Inequity - adjusted HDI - 14% low (2011): • Within the countries with same range of HDI • Urban air pollution – 6th in the world • Per capita GHG emission - 3x higher • Per capita ecological footprints - 2x higher

  9. Relevant UNDP support • Acceleration Framework for MDGs lagging behind • Analyzing bottlenecks, determining priorities and supporting implementation of selected interventions • Building energy efficiency – climate change mitigation • Long-term measures for emission reduction & abatement of air pollution • Improvement of Building Codes, Norms and Standards system • Energy efficient housing designs • Study on public instruments to promote de-risking of renewable energy investments • Mongolia – pilot country

  10. Potentials for further cooperation • Renewable Energy: • Off-grid and decentralized solutions • Feasibility studies for solar concentrator for power generation • Detailed studies for wind and solar energy potentials • Upscaling renewable energy use (combined solar/wind heaters etc.) • Waste management and energy generation: • Feasibility of producing energy from municipal waste • Energy efficiency: • Compliance with BCNS for energy efficiency • Labeling of commercial buildings & appliances (HVAC etc.) • Sustainable transportation • Public Private Partnerships in sustainable energy development 10

  11. Conclusions • Sustainable development, MDG achievement and energy access are closely linked • Increased investment in sustainable/clean energy is inevitable • Government leadership and commitment are essential • Stable policy and regulatory framework • Financing innovation and transformation • UNDP commitment to support energy access to all
