UNDP’s Work on Sustainable Energy

UNDP currently manages

a portfolio of 262 active sustainable energy projects

in 111 countries with

over USD 1 billion in grant financing and USD 5.7 billion in co-financing

Portfolio breakdown projects by region Portfolio breakdown projects by Thematic Area

• Elaborating REDD+ National Strategies

• Defining investment plans and financial strategies

• Supporting participative processes, inter/institutional dialogue and coordination, building coalitions

• Implementing policies and measures to address drivers of deforestation, based on 20+ years of experience at local, regional and national levels

• LULUCF is central to NDCs of many developing countries

• With UNDP’s support, 60+ countries are embarked in reducing emissions from deforestation

UNDP’s REDD + / LULUCF Comparative Advantage – Uniquely placed to support countries in:

TARGET 13.1STRENGTHENING RESILIENCE AND ADAPTATIVE CAPACITY

TARGET 13.2INTEGRATING CLIMATE CHANGE INTO NATIONAL PLANS

TARGET 13.3IMPROVING HUMAND AND INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY ON MITIGATION, ADAPTATION AND EARLY WARNING

UNDP is the leading implementing partner in climate change adaptation

with on-the-ground support in 110+countries worth over US$1 billion.

UNDP is assisting 70+ countries to integrate and

implement comprehensive climate change measures into policies, strategies and plans at national and local levels

43 countries supported to submit INDCs and 37 supported for NDC readiness

and implementation; 42 countries supported in NAP development and

implementation process; 25 supported in low-emissions development

strategies and plans including NAMAs and LEDs; 45 supported to improve

climate risk information and early warning systems; and more

TARGET 13.AACCESSING AND IMPLEMENTING CLIMATE FINANCE

TARGET 13.BENHANCING CAPACITY OF LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES (LDCS) AND SMALL ISLAND DEVELOPING STATES (SIDS)

140+ countries supported to access climate finance with a total

of over US$2.8 billion since 2008.

UNDP is supporting all 48 LDCs and 39 SIDs to access climate finance and implement adaptation and mitigation measures.

UNDP’s support to catalyze climate finance is intrinsic to three key principles: EQUITY

UNDP Climate Investment Initiatives• Climate Investment Platform

- New initiative designed to address the principle barriers to the transition to low-carbon development.- Increasing the flow of bankable projects following the country commitments made through the Paris Agreement goals and other low-carbon strategies - Highlighting investment opportunities in technologies that support the low-carbon transition - Accelerating the supply of finance, technology and solutions to the national climate plans made following the Paris Agreement

• De-risking Renewable Energy Investment or DREI- framework to assist policymakers in developing countries to cost-effectively promote investment in

renewable energy by identifying the barriers to investment and then targeting public interventions to address these risks.

• Climate Aggregation Platform (CAP)- Aims to help build in-country pipelines of standardised, low-carbon energy assets and to develop low-cost

sources of financing, tapping new and diverse investor bases.

• Climate Change Financing Frameworks (CCFF) and Development Finance Assessment (DFA)

- Frameworks for identifying baselines, evaluating the costing of climate finance interventions, identifying entry points for finance, and institutionalizing road maps to fulfilling NDCs.

A vision towards a zero-carbon and climate-resilientsustainable development path

UNDP is an established partner providing support to countries to identify linkages and joint opportunities for the implementation of policy and programmes that can both meet and aim to exceed the aspirations of national climate pledges and development goals.

UNDP believes that an integrated approach, driven by a country’s leadership, is necessary to transition towards zero-carbon and climate-resilient sustainable development.
