SUB-NATIONAL INTEGRATION OF LEDS WORKING GROUP The Sub-National Integration of LEDS Working Group (SNI-LEDS WG) aims to mobilize climate-resilient, low emission development by enhancing capacity, capturing synergies and by improving and supporting coordination among national and subnational governments that are implementing low emission development strategies and climate change action plans. The working group facilitates collaboration between national and subnational governments through a number of services and resources including peer learning and exchange, case studies, best practices, webinars, and more.

The SNI-LEDS WG is one of eight issue-focused working groups that develop and deliver technical resources and training, provide expert assistance, engage topical networks, and convene virtual forums under the LEDS GP.

PLANNED ACTIVITIES

Mapping of Current and Planned Activities and Resources

The SNI-LEDS WG will compile a portfolio of informational and technical resources to understand the scope of current and planned work in this area and to provide technical support to LEDS teams on integrated national and sub-national approaches and measures. This toolkit will include:

x Listing of projects conducting similar work

x Inventory of existing practices and technical resources for SNI

x Identification of key barriers to integrated national and sub-national action

The inventory of resources will inform and guide capacity building activities.

Capacity Building Trainings

The SNI-LEDS WG will build capacity of LEDS teams on SNI issues through sessions held at regional and global workshops, webinars, and pilot support to countries. Experiences from these pilot activities will be shared through workshop sessions and webinars and case studies and will inform future work. Capacity building activities will include:

x Technical sessions on SNI issues at regional and global LEDS GP events

x Webinars on SNI topics to promote broad peer learning and information exchange

x Pilot projects to team with countries in supporting approaches to improve coordinated LEDS development and implementation across sub-national and national levels

x Training program for sub-national officials on GHG inventories and accounting and for linking national and sub-national inventories.

Integrated governance, finance and transparency for delivering climate goals

KEY MESSAGES FROM THE GLOBAL NDC CONFERENCE BERLIN 2017More than 250 participants from 80 countries and several international organizations shared their

perspectives and experiences in the areas of integrated governance; financing, and transparency for

delivering climate goals. They identified gaps and opportunities for support; explored concrete opportunities for countries to advance low carbon resilient development through the implementation of Nationally

Determined Contributions (NDCs), building of peer-networks, and engagement with the private sector.

During the three days of the conference the following key messages emerged:

INTEGRATED GOVERNANCE

For climate actions to result in tangible development benefits, countries need to reconfigure their governance systems to foster an inclusive, integrated approach to low carbon

development.

Key findings:

• High-level leadership is vital for fostering multi-sectoral and

multi-level processes that include climate mitigation and

adaptation actions for sustainable development.

• Strong leadership and stakeholder management capabilities

are required to lead a society wide transformation process. This

includes the engagement of new actors, and the expansion of

roles and responsibilities for NDC implementation.

• Sectoral approaches are key to NDC implementation.

Long-term planning helps breaking down climate targets into

short- and mid-term priorities.

• Integrated governance is the foundation for building a

common architecture for NDC implementation, transparency

and climate finance.

FINANCE

Attracting investment in support of NDC ambitions is a multidimensional challenge in which the public sector

plays a key role through policy, regulatory and financial incentives and engineering which enable public and private investment in low-carbon infrastructure and climate and resilient development.

Key findings:

• NDCs need to be translated into investment opportunities

and project pipelines developed and expanded to

increase visibility and profile of options to attract finance.

• There is no single formula for attracting finance within the variety of capital and investors with differing needs to be

understood and appropriate financial instruments and risk-reduction or sharing tools applied, in each specific investment context.

• Break up silos: cooperation, continued engagement

and a joint-understanding of opportunities between key

actors in the climate and finance communities is crucial to accelerate investment in NDC goals.

• An improved understanding is needed of how effective

public budgeting for climate change actions can support

the mobilisation of investment at scale; sensitise finance, planning and trade ministries; and pave the way for the

integration of NDCs into national and sub national planning.

TRANSPARENCY

The enhanced transparency framework is the

backbone of the Paris Agreement. It builds

trust, enables tracking of NDC implementation

and informs the global stock take on reaching

the long term goal.

Key findings:

• A data and transparency system is

paramount for the national coordination of

NDC implementation and further supports

communicating the work to different

stakeholders.

• Transparency works two ways: Reporting

and review not only serve accountability but

also inform processes for formulating national

policies and setting sectoral targets.

• Trust is crucial. Transparency is a powerful

mechanism for learning and driving individual

and collective ambition.

institutional or information barriers, inefficiencies in service provision, spillover effects across jurisdictional boundaries,

as well as severe income and service level inequalities.

Diagnostic Tool for MLG Coordination & Capacity Challenges

Informa'on gapAsymmetries of informahon (quanhty, quality, type) between different stakeholders, either voluntary or not.=> Need for instruments for revealing & sharing informahon

Capacity gapInsufficient scienhfic, technical, infrastructural capacity of local actors, in parhcular for designing appropriate strategies=> Need for instruments to build local capacity

Funding gapUnstable or insufficient revenues undermining effechve implementahon of responsibilihes at sub-nahonal level or for crossing policies, => Need for shared financing mechanisms

Policy gapSectoral fragmentahon across ministries and agencies. => Need for mechanisms to create mulhdimensional/systemic approaches at the sub nahonal level, and to exercise polihcal leadership and commitment.

Administra've gap

“Mismatch” between funchonal areas and administrahve boundaries => Need for instruments for reaching “effechve size”

Objec've gap Different rahonalihes creahng obstacles for adophng convergent targets => Need for instruments to align objechves

Accountability gap

Difficulty to ensure the transparency of prachces across the different conshtuencies => Need for inshtuhonal quality measurement=> Need for instruments to strengthen the integrity framework at the local level => Need for instruments to enhance cihzen’s involvement
