World Bank's Climate Change Actions in EAP Region

1. World Bank's Climate Change Actions in EAP Region Jiang Ru March 11, 2009 Hanoi Sub-Regional Workshop for Asian GEF Focal Points

2. Development and Climate Change • Development and Climate Change • A Strategic Framework Approved by WB Board and Development Committee • Guide and support response of WBG to development challenges posed by climate change • As part of core development efforts, effective response to climate change must combine: • Mitigation of global GHG emissions—to avoid the unmanageable • Adaptation at regional, national and local levels—to manage the unavoidable

3. Actions Proposed • Step-up policy research in both adaptation and low carbon growth • Support acceleration of new technology • Pioneer innovative market mechanisms • Create an enabling environment to tap private sector resources • Address the resource gap through existing and new instruments for concessional finance

4. Mid-term report on SFDCC implementation (2009) • Policy mainstreaming: >60 % of CASs FY09 address climate change • Lending mainstreaming: >40% WBG projects FY09 contain climate actions • Strong increase lending to renewables and energy efficiency • New financing instruments rolled out • Major AAA on climate change, including World Development Report (WDR) • Improved partnerships and communication

5. EAP contains emitters of global significance Tons CO2 per capita

7. EAP Strategy for Delivering • Screening • Include climate analysis in Bank AAA / CAS to identify large scale, long-term mitigation opportunities • Consider carbon option in all projects under preparation • Financing • Create synergies and fill funding gaps by blending financial instruments (FCPF/CPF, GEF, CIF, IBRD/IDA) • Develop new “climate loans” for financing and risk management. • Capacity • Support clients’ work on GHG mitigation: analysis and framework for client execution of programs

8. Analysis of Opportunities and Risks • EAP: Energy Flagship Study • ID: Low-carbon growth study and TA on REDD methodology development and forest governance • PH and VN climate change strategy (incl. adaptation) Climate Resilient Cities: A Primer on Reducing Vulnerabilities to Disasters Climate Change Impact and Adaptation Study for the Bangkok Metropolitan Regions East Asia Environment Monitor 2007: Adapting to Climate Change

9. Where We Are Now? EAP CC Mitigation Portfolio in FY09 • ~$600m active EAP lending portfolio* (IBRD/IDA), representing 40% of the Bank’s climate change portfolio with emphasis on energy efficiency and renewable energy • Indonesia $300m CC DPL under preparation • $101 m active GEF portfolio with emphasis on energy efficiency, renewable, clean technologies, more recently urban transport *CC lending portfolio: data from Business Warehouse, it includes all the projects that have climate change in the title and/or as one of operation themes Source: Business Warehouse, Active Portfolio, FY99-FY09

10. Additional Mitigation Financing in EAP CTF Investment plans endorsed (under CIF established in July 2008) • Philippines with $75m for RE and $50m for urban transport • Thailand with $150 m for clean energy and $70m for urban transformation • Vietnam with $30m for grid investment CTF Investment plans under preparation: • Indonesia (expected in FY10Q3) Carbon Finance • About $1.4b & 60% of Bank share • Kyoto funds now phasing out • CPF to be operational, VN (hydro) CN (IGCC, biogas), ID (geothermal) • FPCF started with Readiness Fund 7 selected (IN, Lao, VN, Vanuatu moving) 10

11. Examples for Strategic Mitigation Programs • Renewable energy development would meet future energy demand and help transform the power sector’s GHG emissions trajectory.  Geothermal in ID, PH, hydro in VN, offshore wind in CN • Public transport and integration of work and living space would frame future transportation and production choices, putting transport-related emissions on a lower carbon trajectory while reducing air pollution. EcoCities in CN, Urban Transport in TH (Bangkok) • Promotion of energy efficiency would lift private and public investments in EE and reduce future energy demand and associated emissions. Rural / provincial EE program in CN. • Use of waste biomass and better manure management in the agro-industry would reduce GHG emissions and reduce pollution. Livestock biogas energy program in CN. • Saving remaining rainforests and providing economic alternatives would eliminate large streams of GHG emissions while protecting biodiversity. REDD readiness plans in VN, Lao PDR, ID.

12. Adaptation Financing in EAP GEF • SCCF: China and Philippines • LDCF: Pacific Islands (Kiribati, Solomon Islands) • Adaptation Fund (to be operational) The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and recovery • Funds disaster risk assessments, mitigation policies and strategies, prevention preparation and recovery projects at global, regional and country levels Strategic Climate Fund under CIF • Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR): Pilot and demonstrate approaches for integration of climate risk and resilience into development policies and planning • Cambodia: joint donor mission Oct. 2009, CC policy implementation expected from June 2010. Identification of investments to follow • Samoa: scoping mission in Dec. 2009 and joint donor mission in April 2010. • Forest Investment Program (FIP) supports REDD. Subject to decision on March 17, Investment Strategies will be prepared in IN, PH, Lao.

13. Examples of EAP Adaptation Activities • The Economics of Adaptation (VN case study), social welfare CC study in VN (GFDRR), vulnerability of the poor in VN • Urban sector: • Coastal city study – to be used as a model for scaling up • CRC and Local Resilience Action Plan implementation in cities in VN, PH, TH and CN • CC focus in CDS in the PH • DRM: disaster management mitigation programs in ID, PH, VN and linkages with Adaptation programs • Two SCCF operations in CN (agricultural adptation) and PH (CC adaptation pilot and integration into economic and operational planning)

16. World Development Report 2010 A climate-smart world within reach if we… Act now: to stay close to a 2° C warming target Act together: for fairness and cost-efficiency, starting with the high-income countries taking aggressive action Act differently: a transformation needed to reduce emissions 50-80% in the next decades

20. Climate Investment Funds (CIF)A collaboration between donors, World Bank and regional development banks to support a transformation towards low-carbon development Partnership Forum Clean Technology Fund (CTF) Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) Trust Fund Committee Trust Fund Committee Targeted programs with dedicated funding to pilot new approaches with potential for scaling up Finance scaled-up demonstration, deployment and transfer of low carbon technologies with significant potential for long-term GHG savings Pilot Program for Climate ResilienceMainstream climate resilience into core development planning Forest Investment Program Reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation Scaling Up Renewable Energy in Low Income Countries Transformational change to use of renewable energy • Supports countries’ development strategies and low-carbon programs • Leverages financial products of International Financial Institutions • Stimulates private sector engagement (under design) (under design) $5 billion (mostly concessional finance) $1 billion

21. Carbon Partnership Facility (CPF) Participants and partners work together to develop programs to achieve “larger scale and longer term” emission reductions Sellers Host Governments and Donors Buyers Participants and partners provide funds Buyers provide funds and received emission reductions Carbon Fund Sellers propose and develop Grants to Sellers to prepare carbon assets Carbon Asset Development Fund Emission Reductions delivered to the Carbon Fund Emission Reductions Programs

22. CPF – Objectives and Projects in EAP • Scaling up of carbon finance through efforts that: • integrate carbon into investment decisions early on • work with client countries over a long period of time • move to more programmatic and sector-wide approaches • commit to long-term carbon purchases post-2012 • Support transition to a low-carbon economy • Examples in EAP • Vietnam: development small scale hydropower • Indonesia: scaling up of geothermal potential • China: support for IGCC pilot plants • China: energy from agricultural waste
