Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in the post
2012
Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs)
ContentOriginWhat is a NAMAScope of NAMAsCancun Agreement and NAMAsCurrent developing countries’ proposed NAMAs
Origin of NAMAs Paragraph 1 (b) (ii) of the Bali Action Plan calls for “Nationally appropriate mitigation actions’ by developing country Parties in the context of sustainable development, supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity building, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner”.
What is a NAMA
Appendix IIto the
Copenhagen Accord
Source: ECOFYS-Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions
NAMAs and the Copenhagen AccordDeveloped countries agreed to provide
30 billion USD in fast track financing between 2010 and 2012 and to mobilize 100 billion per year by 2020.
No decisions made in 2009 on modalities and required institutions.
Mechanisms to raise and distribute funds, and procedures to measure, report and verify NAMAs must be in place
Cancun Agreement and NAMAS
Schedule for establishing guidelines for measuring reporting and verification
A registry for matching NAMAs and support is established (registry will record NAMAs and their support)
Creation a fund to finance mitigation and adaptation actionsNew technology transfer mechanisms Creation on “new market based mechanisms” – no explicit
text on CDMIndividual pledges submitted under Copenhagen Accord
anchored under UNFCCC
Type of NAMA Description1. Voluntary and unilateral
NAMA associated with actions that developing countries would take voluntarily and unilaterally without support from developed countries
2. Supported Actions that require support from developed countries
3. Carbon Credit NAMAs
NAMAs associated with actions that developing countries are willing to take for the purpose of obtaining carbon credit as an outcome of implementing such actions.

REGISTRY
Directly Supported NAMAs Can be
Projects (e.g. Bus Rapid Transit lane)Programmes (e.g. energy efficient lighting
program)Policy instrument and tools including:
Pilot programmes in local communitiesEnergy efficiency standard in buildings and transport
sectorsAppliance labelling and provision of subsidiesPhasing out small inefficient power plants Inefficient cement and steel plantsReplacement of incandescent light bulbs with compact
fluorescent bulbsRemoving fuel subsidies Appropriate taxation policies
Development and implementation of a strategy National mitigation target
Current Developing Countries’ Proposed NAMAs
Become climate neutral around 2020 • Costa Rica, MaldivesPercentage reduction of national emission below
BAU or base year in 2020 • Brazil, Indonesia, Israel, Marshal Islands, Mexico,
Moldova, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea Percentage reduction of intensity (national emission
per GDP) in 2020 from 2005 • China, India Detailed list of projects • Congo, Ethiopia, Jordan, Macedonia,
Madagascar, Morocco, Sierra Leone
What is needed?NAMAs should be based on well
developed national and /or sectoral strategies. Initiate process of planning for and preparing
for NAMAs and put in place necessary institutional arrangements to support such an endeavour
Need to ensure stakeholder consultation in the process and preparation of NAMAs.
ConclusionsNAMAs should be based on well developed national
and/or sector strategies – Strategic, long-term, transformational measures – Allows for comprehensive, packages of actions – Can also address difficult CDM sectors (e.g. transport, buildings) – Can consists of several components – Can lead to carbon credits or not Learn from existing experience in development finance NAMAs could also take place outside of UNFCCC (e.g.
bilateral and multilateral donors) NAMAs can be implemented through the use of
domestic resources and funding through the Green Climate Fund, complemented by the use of the market mechanisms, in a balanced manner.
PoAs under the Clean Development Mechanism regarded as predecessor of a future NAMA mechanism
