7. UNEP’s Climate Change Strategy Builds on UNEP’s distinctiveness Is structured around four themes: Adaptation Mitigation Improving understanding of science Communication and raising awareness Strategic Approach

8. Limiting the scope in order to achieve more tangible results and greater impact: Adaptation and ecosystems, capacity building: Africa, SIDS, megadeltas: low lying coasts, drylands Asia, Latin America: mountains, tropical forests Mitigation finance and technology: middle-income, emerging and carbon intensive economies CDM and the carbon market: developing countries with few CDM projects to date, especially those in Africa Land use; land use change and forestry; redd: developing countries, especially those with sizeable tropical forests that have most to gain from REDD Climate Focus Countries, Sectors

9. Finance: $60 million for capacity building to mobilize finance Policy advice Local banks: end users + seed capital products Technology support: $60 million Needs assessments, market analysis, policy support Regional capacity building networks Phasing out of most obsolescent technologies Examples of climate activities

10. Insurance: Assistance for development of financial risk insurance policies for renewable energy projects in emerging / developing countries Commercial finance Technical assistance and support for lending for solar water heaters in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt (MEDREP). Extended in the Balkan region. Cost sharing support for innovative clean energy investment funds (SCAF) Public finance:UNFCCC/UNEP Public finance instruments for climate change mitigation-Options document Examples of climate activities

11. UNEP is a (co-)convening agency for REDD, CB, Public Awareness, C-Neutral UN UNEP cooperates and complements work of other UN agenciese.g.: UNFCCC Secretariat- strategic communications, support of negotiations process, analysis of Public Finance Instruments UNDP- piloting new and entrepreneurial approaches, develop guidelines and blueprints World Bank – capacity building, technical assistance, private sector engagement: Climate Investment Funds Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Partnering with Others

14. Sustainable Tourism: Marrakech Task Force on Sustainable Tourism Development Sustainable Investment in Financing for Tourism (SIFT) Network Sustainable Tourism Criteria, Sustainable Tourism Stewardship Council UNEP / SETAC Life Cycle Initiative: Life cycle experts from companies, industry associations and research institutions Examine new developments in life cycle analysis, management Work with WBCSD and others to assess new tools such as carbon footprinting Partnering with Business

Potential of millions of green jobs; calls for decent work conditions in new green jobs and just transition for affected job holders. The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity(TEEB): develop a global study and process to analyse the benefits of biodiversity, the costs of its loss due to inaction, and the costs of effective conservation. Limits to Growth > Green Economy

19. Raw materials Process Goods Bads (waste, emissions etc) Intermed goods The Resource Efficient Society • The Economic Case • The Business Case • The Consumer’s Case

20. Limiting the scope in order to achieve more tangible results and greater impact: Rapidly industrialising countries with high resource inefficiency, low environmental performance index Natural resource-dependent, less developed countries, with limited technical and financial resources Highly resource intensive industries, as shown from material flows analysis, life cycle analysis, GWP Building & Construction Metals & Automotive Manufacturing Food & Beverages RE Focus Countries, Sectors

21. Food and fisheries: Sustainable agricultural practices in supplier countries, select commodities Food retail collaboration to promote value chain innovation Harmonisation and support in wider introduction of credible standards, labelling Business & Water Efficiency: Partnering with Global Compact CEO Water Mandate Water footprinting, supply chain collaboration, reporting methodologies, management tools Pilot testing in water scarce countries, eg Africa (beverages / drinks industries) Partnering … emerging
