  1. NationallyAppropriateMitigation Actions (NAMAS) Globally An overview Niklas Höhne

  2. Outline Niklas Höhne

  3. Timeline of the international climate negotiations Bali 2007: “Nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing country Parties in the context of sustainable development, supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity-building, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner” Niklas Höhne

  4. NAMAs submitted in 2009 Targets South Africa: GHG reduction target of 34% from business as usual (BAU) emissions growth trajectory by 2020 and of 42% by 2025 Strategies Côte d'Ivoire: Elaboration of an action plan for renewable energy Policies and programmes Botswana: Various policies in the transportation sector Projects Togo: Projects to replace existing lamps with high efficiency lamps Niklas Höhne

  5. Financing of NAMAs Niklas Höhne

  9. Progress in climate policy Countries covering 67% of global emissions implement climate laws or strategies Source: Dubash et al. 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14693062.2013.845409 Size scaled to national GHG emissions in 2010 Niklas Höhne

  11. Global NAMA action • 83 NAMAs and 32 feasibility studies in 34 countries  Source: www.nama-database.org Niklas Höhne

  12. State of play of NAMAs • 40 submissions to the UNFCCC Registry: 50% from two countries; 4 unilateral • NAMA Database contains 83 NAMAs and 32 studies from 34 countries Source: www.nama-database.org Niklas Höhne

  13. Regionaldistribution of NAMAs NAMA • Latin America most active region • Followed by Africa (not Asia!) • Europe: Serbia submitted 12 NAMAs • Broader regional spread than CDM • Africa and Least Developed countries notably larger share • Possible reasons • NAMA emphasize on national appropriateness and sustainable development • Flexibility in design • Asian reluctance to phrase mitigation action as NAMAs Source: Ecofys et al 2013 CDM Source: http://cdm.unfccc.int/Statistics/Public/CDMinsights/index.html, accessed 15/01/2014 Niklas Höhne

  14. Sectoraldistribution of NAMAs NAMA • Energy supply still largest share (36%) • Followed by transport and buildings • Broader sectoral coverage than in CDM • Esp. transport and buildings notably more relevant • Possible reasons • Less stringent MRV requirements • Accounting for medium to long term emission reduction and transformational change possible Source: Ecofys et al 2013 CDM Source: http://cdm.unfccc.int/Statistics/Public/CDMinsights/index.html, accessed 15/01/2014 Niklas Höhne

  15. Types of NAMAs NAMA • Policy, programmes, strategies and plans NAMA is the focus (59%) CDM only projects Niklas Höhne

  16. Outline Niklas Höhne

  17. NAMA success stories • NAMA facility (UK/Germany) has been set up and finances the implementation of 5 project • Chile: Self-supply Renewable Energy • Costa Rica: Low Carbon Coffee NAMA • Mexico: NAMA for Sustainable New Housing • Colombia: Transit-oriented Development • Indonesia: Sustainable Urban Transport Program Indonesia • Best practice examples for NAMA process • Indonesia - Institutional framework and coordination of NAMAs • Bhutan - Application of a rapid gender assessment to identify entry points and targets for women in LEDS/NAMA design • Lebanon - NAMA Prioritization Process Source: nama-facility.org Niklas Höhne

  18. NAMA outlook and challenges • Overall level of ambition not sufficient to reach 2°C limit • Fast progress on NAMAs essential • Progress on NAMA finance in 2015 agreement • Is the vague definition of NAMAs an opportunity or a barrier? • National appropriateness will need to be balanced with need for defining NAMAs further • Transparency • Submitted proposals vary in degree of detail • (Best practice) learning across countries difficult • Financing • Level of financing available needs to be sufficient • Difficult determination of which share of the action is financed Challenges on NAMA will be covered in a later presentation Niklas Höhne
