  Technological change and substitution to reduce resource inputs and emissions per unit of output.

  Policies to reduce greenhouse

gas emissions and enhance sinks (CO2-Senke)

1) Globaler Kontext b) Definitionen

Mitigation vs. Adaptation   changes in a system in

response to some force or perturbation (climate)

  adjustment in individual, group and institutional behaviour in order to reduce socity‘s vulnerabilities to climate

  changes in processes, practices or structures to moderate or offset potential damages or to take advantage of opportunities associated with changes in climate.


1) Globaler Kontext b) Definitionen

Green Growth:

“Promoting long term economic growth and development while avoiding unsustainable pressure on the quality and quantity of natural assets“.


1) Globaler Kontext b) Hemmnisse

Barriers to Green Growth:

Leistungsbereich Wirtschaftliche Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (SECO-WE) = Kompetenzzentrum des Bundes für:  Nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung von Entwicklungsländern (EL)  Nachhaltige Integration der Partnerländer in die Weltwirtschaft

Ziel: „low carbon growth path“ für Partnerländer:

  Abschwächung des Anstiegs des (fossilen) Energieverbrauchs

  Verlagerung auf nachhaltigere Energiequellen

  Armutsminderndes Wachstum beibehalten

Voraussetzung: effektive und effiziente marktwirtschaftliche Mechanismen:

  Anreizsysteme, positive Rahmenbedingungen und Investitionsumfeld

  Unterstützung beim Aufbau dieser Instrumente und deren Nutzung

  Zugang zu “clean technologies“

  Finanzielle Mittel

Ausgangslage:

2) Klima aus SECO-Perspektive b) Interventionsfelder

• Use of energy is at the origin of majority of GHG Emissions

• Demand for energy will further increase, i.e. in emerging markets

•  Improved infrastructure • Efficient processes • Clean production • Environmentally friendly technologies • Buildings and traffic • Financial incentives (incl. CDM)


Examples SECO in Energy Efficiency

• District Heating (Romania, EBRD) • Environmentally sound technologies,

Cleaner Production Centers (UNIDO) + green credit lines! > CHF 50m

• Residential Energy Efficiency (Ukraine, IFC)

• Global CDM capacity building (Carbon Finance Assist, World Bank); USD 7m

• Standards and labelling for appliances: refrigerators; TVs; cars - „topten“ China

13



Renewable Energy Sources

• Fossiles as main driver of CO2-Emissions

• Shortage of fossile Energy to be expected

• Diversification of energy mix • Promotion of renewable energy:

Hydro, wind, solar, bio gas • Renovation of existing power plants • Technology transfer; projects with

demonstration effect

Examples SECO in the Field of Renewable Energy Sources • Fierza hydro power plant (Albania,

EBRD, World Bank), CHF 10m • SREP = Scaling-up Renewable

Energy Program (World Bank); Federal Council has approved 2010 Swiss contribution of USD 20 m

• Biofuels study EMPA (Colombia, IADB)

•  Interministerial platform „REPIC“ for feasiblity studies and pilots, CHF 4m www.repic.ch

15



• <20% of global CO2-Emissions through deforestation

• Negative consequences for ecosystems: Erosion, loss of biodiversity, water mangagement

• Dependency of local communities

• Appreciation of carbon stocks: REDD (=Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation)

• Sustainable Forest Management • Value Added: Timber, Non-Timber

Forest Products, Tourism

h Sustainable Use of Natural Ressources

use it or lose it!

16



• Forest Carbon Partnership Facility

World Bank: REDD readiness, CHF 9m •  Index based wheather insurance

(World Bank), e.g. India • Biotrade Facilitation Program

(UNCTAD, IFC); national biotrade programs Peru, Vietnam;

• Commodity Sustainability Standards: Timber, biofuels, coffee, cotton

• Access & Benefit Sharing (ABS) – Convention on Biodiversity

Examples: SECO in the field of Sustainable Use of Natural Ressources

17



• Cities count for 70-80% of global GHG emissions • Leading Cities are engaged in CC (C40; ICLEI) • Cities are important investors in relevant fields:

transport, buildings, lighting, waste, power plants • Most cities are not aware of CDM opportunities • UNFCCC Parties „forget“ the subnational level • Energiestadt; City twinning, knowledge

exchange / technology transfer • Cities are also regulators: • Enabling environment

Cities and Climate Change
