Carbon Finance Meeting Washington DC., Nov 15, 2010

The GEF can play a useful and growing role in emerging and developing carbon markets GEF’s engagement with carbon finance has been sporadic. New options will be explored under GEF-5 given Council guidance approval of Programming Document. Context of the Meeting

Meeting Goal To exchange information and develop a common understanding of GEF’s role in the carbon markets Objectives To take stock of the GEF’s engagement in carbon finance To explore options under GEF-5 to expand the work with carbon finance To develop a common understanding between GEF Secretariat, Agencies, Council and other key stakeholders on the options available under GEF-5.

Prior Experience GEF has engaged in projects with carbon finance components, for example:  India / Philippines / Indonesia Chiller Energy Efficiency Project – WB  Indonesia Geothermal Power Generation Development Program - WB  Kyrgyzstan Small Hydro Power (SHP) Development – UNDP  Colombia Mechanism for voluntary mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions - IDB

In the Future How to develop GEF’s engagement in the carbon markets ? What are GEF’s added-value and comparative advantage in the context of carbon finance ? What should be the boundaries to GEF’s intervention in this area ?

GEF’s added value in carbon finance could :  Mitigate perceived risks to realize untapped opportunities  Promote innovative technologies and business models  Nurture new markets

GEF’s added value in carbon finance will not :  Take all the risks resulting from uncertainty of transactions, markets, and climate negotiations  Cover all transactions costs, including project documentation and development of methodology

Meeting Deliverables Brainstorm new ideas and develop a common understanding on GEF’s involvement in carbon finance under GEF-5 Identify potential GEF carbon finance projects - Using STAR funding or potentially Focal Area Set- Aside funding Identify challenges and opportunities
