This presentation was delivered as part of the "Developing Building Blocks of a Global Mitigation Architecture" workshop series.

1. Stimulating Ambitious
Nationally Appropriate
Mitigation Actions
A Project to Catalyze High-Impact
NAMAs and Create a Vibrant
Practitioner Network
June 2011

2. The Project
CCAP forms networks of mitigation action practitioners in Latin America and Asia,
concentrating on mid-income developing countries
Mitigation Action Implementation Network (MAIN)
One of the Goals: Support for the International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV
with insights from the ground

3. The Participants
• Latin America: started in March 2011
Argentina, Caribbean, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica ,
Panama, Peru
• Asia: Likely participants include China, India, Indonesia,
Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as Pacific Island nations
such as Maldives, Marshall Islands, Tuvalu and
Micronesia.

LCDS are umbrella strategies/plans for mitigation actions

6. *Key Design Features of NAMAs
- More specific than overall reduction target or pledge
for an entire country (some confusion on this point)
- More than project-by-project approach of CDM- More than project-by-project approach of CDM
- No final definition yet
- Selected and designed by the respective host
government
- Goal: Put climate on the national policy agenda

7. The Private Sector and the
Implementation of NAMAs
• Involve it from the very beginning of design of NAMAs
• Developing countries can clearly learn from mitigation actions
implemented already elsewhere that were successful in
mobilising the private sector (for example, renewables)
• Outside finance (NAMA support) can help to get green• Outside finance (NAMA support) can help to get green
business models running and showcase their advantages (loan
programs for efficiency - started with money from Annex-1 -
become attractive for local banks in short-time)
• International support can lower risk for investors and attract
attention of local players

8. *What are Good Practices to Develop and
Implement NAMAs?
- The abbreviation NAMAs is confusing to of those not
involved in UNFCCC negotiations on a daily basis
- We should demistify this term and make clear that it is
simply about implementing good nationallysimply about implementing good nationally
appropriate mitigation actions
- As in developed countries, it seems best if LCDS and
NAMA development is coordinated in an inter-
ministerial committee which has the backing of the
president or the head of government.

10. Potential NAMAs being Developed
• Mexico cement “NAMA” (potential)
– Increase use of blended cement to reduce need for energy-intensive clinker (creating
demand for blended cement through regulations, etc.)
– Increase use of alternative fuels (MSW, tires, etc.)
– Targets in these areas reduce sector emissions by 9% (2020) and 15% (2030) below–
BAU
• Argentina freight rail “NAMA” (potential)
– Large-scale, $1.5 bn railway renovation project (GHG, co-benefits)
– Modal switch for freight transport (2% 20% of agriculture by rail)
– Although already largely funded, incremental components could be funded through
NAMA framework and result in further GHG reductions
– Working on MRV methodology and how to make attractive to donors

11. Potential NAMAs
Being Developed (cont’d)
• Other Potential “NAMAs”
– In Peru: Promoting energy-efficient lighting in the residential and commercial sectors by
removing barriers to the use of efficient lighting technologies (NAMA financing could go
toward public education or EE pilot project)
– In Chile: Renewable energy; energy efficiency in transportation, buildings/housing,
mining operations
– In Colombia: Smart growth, transport-oriented development opportunities; energy– In Colombia: Smart growth, transport-oriented development opportunities; energy
efficiency in housing; renewable energy

12. WANTED
For another project we are looking for sucess stories
• mitigation projects in developing countries
• Supported with finance from Europe
• already visibles results• already visibles results
- Low carbon technologies applied
- Programs or laws already adopted
- Ambitious national strategies
