  1. RBEC UNDP-GEF Climate Change Mitigation Portfolio: Lessons Learnt John O’BrienRegional Technical Advisor, Climate Change Mitigation UNDP – Bratislava Regional Centre Sub-Regional Workshop for GEF Focal Points & Constituency Meeting 14-15 April 2010

  2. Presentation Overview • Overview of UNDP GEF CC Portfolio • Lessons Learned during GEF - 4 • Looking towards GEF - 5

  3. UNDP GEF Climate Change Activities Globally Objective: Assist developing countries to develop and adopt low carbon and climate resilient strategies/development through promotion of market transformation for EE, RE and Sustainable Transport technologies Energy Efficiency Portfolio: US$ 1 billion Renewable Energy Portfolio: US$ 865 m Transport Portfolio: US$ 890 m • UNDP has 132 Country Offices in 6 Regions • We are Country Driven

  4. UNDP GEF Portfolio Overview - Energy-Efficiency is Number One Priority

  5. UNDP interventions in Europe and CIS region are focused on Removing Barriers to EE • Low energy efficiency (even new EU members), little use of renewable energy (except hydro) →most energy- and carbon-intensive economies globally World average Source: World Resources Institute 2008

  6. UNDP key priority: Energy efficiency inBuildings • 40% of energy used in buildings • Building stock 2-3 times less efficient than in EU • Utilities account for 20% in poor households income • 30% reduction in costs can make a substantial difference Source: UNDP/GEF Project Document, Kyrgyzstan

  7. How do you think about work the heating supply system in your apartment? Don’t work at all No answer 20,5% 1,8% Good 47, 7% Bad 30, 1% UNDP key priority: Energy Efficiency inbuildings • Poorly designed and insufficiently enforced legal and regulatory framework • Weak capacities to identify and implement energy efficiency measures among municipalities, tenants and district heating companies • Financing Barrier – access to credit is very difficult – Scaling Up • Barriers to remove: Turkmenistan: 50% of customers are not satisfied with heat systems Source: UNDP/GEF Project Report

  8. Lessons Learned: Municipal EE in Croatia • - Policy-level support: National EE Master-plan with the Programme of Implementation 2008-2016 • Energy Charter: signed by ALL towns and counties in the Republic of Croatia • Over 40 million USD • investments leveraged in energy EE across Croatia • - 91,5% of households are aware of availability and the • benefits of EE products • related to home appliances • - Project budget: 13 M US$ (on-going) with UNDP/GEF contribution 3.5 M$ BEFORE Energy Charter Advocacy kit under UNDP “House in Order” project Source: UNDP-GEF Project in Croatia

  9. Lessons Learned: EE Renovation in Bulgaria • 28 voluntary associations of condominium owners for the purposes of renovation and future maintenance created; • 7 multifamily buildings fully renovated and 21 buildings undergoing renovation • Annual energy saving: 50-75% due to EE renovation BEFORE AFTER Source: UNDP/GEF Project Booklet, Bulagria

  10. Upscaling EE Activities : Options for Consideration

  11. Small hydro power: Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan UNDP key priorities: Renewable energy Wind power: Kazakhstan Biomass: Slovakia, Belarus, Poland, BiH, Slovenia, Latvia Solar Water Heating: Albania • Security of Supply is critical (for biomass projects) • Long-term PPA is critical for electricity generation projects • Demonstration projects can play a ‘catalytic effect’

  12. Lessons learnt: Working Well and Areas for Improvement • We are working well when it comes to • working at a local level (municipalities, local governments) • changes in policies, legislation, regulation • awareness raising activities • guidebooks, training materials • demonstration activities Where we can and need to improve • Coordination with other Agencies • Finding Investors/Engaging Private Sector • Upscaling Activities & Replication

  13. Lessons Learned: Engaging the Private Sector • How do we engage the private sector more effectively • staff/consultants with experience working in the private • sector at a senior level – managing risk • understand concepts of risks and returns and how we • can assist with reducing risks/enhancing returns • choose ‘world class companies’ to work with • specific role within our projects of leveraging • private sector investment • In our projects : reward results, reward sucess

  14. Looking to GEF 5 – Areas for Focus for UNDP • Primary Focus • Energy-Efficiency in Buildings • - In particular EE in residential buildings & public buildings • Removing Barriers to Renewable Energy • - esp. biomass • Secondary Focus • Sustainable Transport • Carbon Forestry (incl. cross cutting projects) • Integrate focus on linkages with carbon markets (CDM, JI) into our projects under GEF – 5 (Carbon Finance is the future)

  15. Thank you!
