description

This presentation informs on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and their potential role in the context of national Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS). It was held by Frauke Röser, Managing Consultant International Climate Policies at Ecofys, during the “Summer School of the International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV” that took place from 20-28 August 2013 in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Key aspects of a NAMA

A NAMA is a voluntary intervention by a developing country

government:

> Which is in line with national and/or local development

priorities

> Which receives support from domestic and/or international

sources

> Which has effect on reducing GHG emissions either directly

or indirectly

> Which is measurable, reportable and verifiable ("MRVable")

to ensure transparency of the NAMA outcomes

National Development Plans & Objectives

Low Emissions Development

Strategy

Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions

> LEDS can provide the umbrella or coherent policy framework

to prioritise actions

> Process can be bottum up or top down

Low carbon development planning

> Climate led approach

– Mitigation options prioritised according to development

benefits

– Development co benefits

> Development led approach

– Development options ranked according to mitigation

impact

– Mitigation as co benefit

> Country specific according to national circumstances

> Full transformation to low carbon development pathway

not proven yet

> Not always win win – trade offs likely!

Policy Assessment

> Sources of information:

– National and regional government strategies & plans

– Development plans/ LEDS

– National Communications

– TNAs/ Technology Action plans

– Key sector strategies, plans and objectives

– Existing mitigation activities

– NAMA best practice examples

> Identify policy priorities

> Develop a set of NAMA ideas

> Process: Ministry – Interministerial – Wider Stakeholders

Selection and prioritisation

> Review NAMA ideas/ options

> Define selection criteria

> Stakeholder engagement

– Multi stakeholder processes important for input & buy in

– Involve different parts and layers of government

– Private sector, civil society, research community as

appropriate

> When to involve stakeholders?

– Initial assessment?

– To develop ideas?

– To set criteria?

– To review options?

– For validation?

Lessons Learned

> Involving stakeholders important to capture knowledge

> Carefully manage expectations

> Be clear on the role of stakeholders

> What is the process?

> Who takes decisions?

> Ensure „right“ balance between different stakeholder

groups

> Bilateral consultation – input, concerns, sensitive issues

> Multilateral meetings/ workshops

> Awareness

> Validation

Conclusions

> NAMA identification process can have many starting points

> Start from what is already there

> Involving stakeholders throughout is key

> Trust

> Ownership

> Knowledge

> But – coordination between stakholders can be complex

> Capacity constraints

> There may be conflicting priorities– trade offs

> Technical assessments have limitations – political decisions

> Strong (political) leadership important
