1 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AUTHORITY N DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH INSTITUTE Ethiopia s Climate Resilient Green Economy Workshop on NAMAs Presentation Wondwossen Sintayehu Ethiopia June 10 th, 2011

2 Development of NAMAs priority activity of Climate Resilient Green Economy initative Development Green economy Identification of initiatives supporting economic development and low GHG emissions! NAMAs Abatement Climate Resilient Green Eco. Resilience 1

3 CRGE aims to position Ethiopia as the green front runner in developing climate resilient green economies Ambition: Establish Ethiopia globally as the green frontrunner Negotiations PM H.E. Meles Zenawi global leader of international climate change negotiations Planning Ethiopia creates transparency how green growth can be achieved Collaboration Ethiopia enables neighboring countries to achieve green development by providing cheap clean electricity Invention Ethiopia paves the way for green global livestock sector by developing RELS Reduced Emissions from LiveStock allowing Job/ value creation and poverty reduction Carbon funds to finance economic development Increased food security Increased exports and reduced imports Improved health (air and water quality) Improved balance of payments Preserved biodiversity 2

4 EDRI and EPA in coordinating roles for organization of Climate Resilient Green Economy initiative Parliament Scanning Environment Council Not yet covered Enabling activities Overall program management (process management, steering group involvement ) Financial instruments MRV Capacity building, training Integration into CRGE Dissemination/ communication and advocacy Ministerial Steering Committee (chair: Ato Newai, EDRI) Technical Committee (chaired by Ato Dessalegne, EPA) Climate Finance and Economics Science Methodology Economics of climate mitigation (cost curve) and climate resilience (costbenefit analyses) Macroeconomic analyses Overall finance needs SubTechnical Committees Power Supply Buildings & green cities REDD+ Focus: GHG mitigation, economic growth and climate resilience Soil based Livestock emissions Transport Industry Health 3

5 Technical committee and subtechnical committee have established working routine Technical Committee Sub Technical Committees Achievements Meeting routine regular biweekly halfday meetings established (every second Thursday morning); in total 9 TC meetings so far Full attendance all established STCs always represented at TC meetings 1, attendance between 1420 members Rotating venues so far EDRI, EPA, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Mines, EEPCo Committee setup 1 STC Chair and 4 to 6 members from the relevant institutions per STC, in total ~35 people actively involved Working routine 4 full working days a week dedicated to CRGE and 1 formal weekly STC meeting with EPA and GGGI Reporting routine biweekly report to the Technical Committee as well as frequent updates and interactions with EPA and GGGI TC meeting, 7/4/11 In addition biweekly training sessions for TC and STC members 1 Exemption: REDD STC during Vietnam negotiations 4

6 The STCs have completed the estimations of GHG emissions and analyzed the potential of green growth levers Completed Green growth levers Evaluation CRGE strategy Crops Livest. Forestry Other Energy Lower emitting techniques Higher animal productivity Change in animal mix Agriculture intensification Introduction of efficient stoves Power exports FOR DISCUSSION D Soil based emissions STC workplan Mar Apr May Jun Activity Responsible Review preliminary analysis FOR DISCUSSION Share and refine BAU 2030 emissions assessment C Share STC and workplan agree on preliminary assessment of abatement levers 1Synthesis 2 Develop action plan for introduction of lower emitting techniques Refine impacts of proposed levers (environmental, economic, social) 2011 Refine Activity cost estimates and feasibility assessments Mar Apr May Jun Responsible 1 Prioritize the techniques and define which pilots are needed Review preliminary analysis Develop action plan FOR DISCUSSION Share and refine BAU 2030 deforestation and emissions assessment DShare 3 Ensure enablers Soil and refine based deforestation emissions and forest degradation STC workplan drivers Share and agree on preliminary assessment of abatement levers Assess opportunities to embed the initiative in current institutional set up 2 Identify potential needs for regulatory changes to promote the initiative Develop action plans for mitigation levers Define required MRV systems 2a Agriculture intensification Mar Apr May Jun Assess funding needs for implementation and review potential sources Refine Activity impacts of proposed levers (environmental, economic, social) Responsible 4 Refine cost estimates and feasibility assessments Define climate Review change preliminary proving strategy analysis Prioritize the drivers and define which pilots are needed Identify potential threats Share and refine BAU 2030 emissions assessment Define action plan until 2014 Assess potential impact agriculture and soil emissions 2b Share and agree on preliminary assessment of abatement levers Develop strategy to limit unsustainable fuelwood consumption Define implementation 2 Same approach roadmap as 2a Develop action plan for introduction of lower emitting techniques Prepare 2c Develop business strategy cases to for attract forest donors management and partners initiatives Refine impacts of proposed levers (environmental, economic, social) Update CRGE Detail strategy the type with of recent activities learnings to support Refine cost estimates and feasibility assessments Same approach as 2a Prioritize the techniques and define which pilots are needed 2d Biweekly Afforestation review meetings / reforestation with Technical Committee Develop action plan Reviews with Same Steering approach Committee as 2a 3 Ensure enablers 3 Ensure enablers Assess opportunities to embed the initiative in current institutional set up Define institutional and regulatory requirements, compare to status quo Identify potential needs for regulatory changes to promote the initiative and define an action plan Define required MRV systems SOURCE: Team Define analysis required MRV systems and define an action plan Assess funding needs for implementation and review potential sources 68 Assess funding needs for implementation by 2030 and review potential sources 1Synthesis 4 Define climate change proving strategy 4 Compile inputs from the workstreams in an integrated draft REDD+ strategy Identify potential threats Assess potential impact agriculture and soil emissions Process Biweekly review meetings with Technical Committee Define implementation roadmap Reviews with Steering Committee Prepare business cases to attract donors and partners SOURCE: Team Update analysis CRGE strategy with recent learnings Biweekly review meetings with Technical Committee Reviews with Steering Committee SOURCE: Team analysis BAU Estimate current emission level and BAU 2030 #1 #2 #3 # Green growth Evaluation of cost, feasibility, etc. Analysis of the potential of green growth levers Development of preliminary CRGE strategy Today March April May June 5

7 CRGE time plan Preliminary strategy is nearly finalized and needs to be syndicated in coming months Activity Preliminary strategy preparation Estimate current and BAU emissions Analyse potential of green growth levers Evaluate cost and feasibility of levers 2011 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Full draft of sectoral CRGE strategy document Prepare sectoral CRGE strategy Consultation and syndication process Consultation with stakeholders Incorporation of feedback Final version of CRGE strategy Approval by envirom. council/ cabinet Discussion with donors/investors Identify potential donors / investors Bilateral discussion and consultation Institutionalizing Define organizational setup and roles Implement institutional setup 1 E.g. as an example during his speech 6

8 Where do we stand Calculation of BAU All 7 subtechnical committees have calculated baseline and BAU emissions " Identification and valuation of abatement levers Assessment of feasibility and economic impact In total, more than 60 abatement levers have been identified Levers can be used as Green Growth initiatives Most abatement levers have been evaluated with regard to feasibility and economic impact (e.g. contribution to growth plans) " " Identification of stakeholders for consultation Stakeholder lists have been compiled by the respective subtechnical committees Consultation phase is prepared by committees " 7

9 What comes next? Consultation phase Objectives Addressees Formats Creating awareness Aligning priorities Gaining supporters Government of Ethiopia (central and regional) Research & academia Civil society, donors, NGOs Workshops with government officials and academia Discussion with parliamentary committees Symposia with civil society 8
