Focal Area and Cross Cutting Strategies – Climate Change Expanded Constituency Workshop 6 – 8 July Dakar, Senegal

Guiding Principles for GEF-5 Strategy Responsiveness to Convention guidance Consideration of national circumstances of recipient countries Cost-effectiveness in achieving global environmental benefits

SO1:Demonstration, deployment, and transfer of innovative low-carbon technologies Innovative technologies are targeted, but also priority technologies that are commercially available but have not been adopted in their markets. Technical assistance for: – creating enabling policy environment for tech transfer – capacity building – establishment of tech transfer mechanisms – N-S and S-S cooperation – purchase of licenses – pilot investments – development of local capacity to adapt exogenous technologies to local conditions and technology integration

SO2:Market transformation for energy efficiency in industry and the building sector Industrial sector: energy efficient technologies and practices Buildings: residential, commercial, and public buildings, both new and retrofitting; building envelope and energy-using systems are covered Solar energy and shallow ground thermal capacity for heating and cooling May support phase-out of HCFCs used in industry and buildings Combination of TA on policy, regulation, and capacity building; financing mechanisms; and pilots

SO3:Investment in renewable energy technologies On-grid renewable energy programs Decentralized production of electric power and the use of indigenous renewable sources Enhancement of technical capacities of SMEs to provide installation, operation, and maintenance services for RETs. Methane recovery from biomass wastes for power generation or heat production. Sustainable production of biomass for biofuels Combination of TA for policy and regulatory support, capacity building, and establishing financing mechanisms for investments.

SO4:Energy efficient, low-carbon transport and urban systems Comprehensive interventions through integration of transport, energy, water, and housing sector activities will be encouraged Address not only climate change mitigation but also local air pollution, traffic congestion, etc. TA in transport and urban planning, development of innovative financing mechanisms, awareness campaigns, and investments in high-performance technologies Greater attention to measuring and quantifying GEB (GEF-STAP manual for calculating GHG benefits)

SO5:Conservation and enhancement of carbon stocks through sustainable management of land use and forestry Enhance, restore and manage carbon stocks and storage on forest and non- forest land (including peatland) Reduce emissions of carbon stocks Activities include: good practice demonstrations, establishment of national C monitoring systems, strengthen policies and institutions, etc. Linked to Sustainable Forest Management/ REDD+ incentive mechanism

SO6: Enabling activities and capacity building Preparation of National Communications by non-Annex I Parties Preparation and updating of TNAs especially for countries that did not receive support for TNAs during GEF-4 Subject to future COP guidance, the GEF may finance activities to support capacity development and implementation of Article 6 of the Convention on education, training, and public awareness The GEF can play a role in the emerging carbon markets – Carbon finance set-aside is available

COP Mandate to GEF on Technology Transfer Poznan Strategic Program on Technology Transfer (COP decision 2/CP.14) – Support for Technology Needs Assessments – Support for Technology Transfer Pilot Projects – Dissemination of successfully demonstrated technologies and know-how GEF-5 replenishment – $4.3 billion total (six focal areas) – $1.4 billion for climate change mitigation

Thank you for your attention
