Policy Impacts -China
Clean Coal Technologies will provide:
•Energy security.
•Large employment to low income families that are employed with the production of the technologies (7.6 mill people in 2004 and 7.8 mill. people in 2030).
•Establishment of a strong position for China on international markets for cleaner coal technologies.
•Reduction in local and global emissions.
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment
SD Policies and Measures - Approach
SD PAM’s are defined as policies and measures taken by a country in pursuit of its domestic policy objectives.
Criteria for SD PAM’s:
•Specific national development objectives.
•Can include specific legislative or executive acts, regulations, various instruments, and public-private partnership. Solely private projects or initiatives are excluded.
•GHG emissions should be reduced.
•Suggested as a basis for climate change commitments.
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment
SD PAM Case Study Results•China: Motorization trends.
•India: Rural electrification.
•South Africa: Carbon capture and storage.
•Brazil: Biofuels for transport.
•Issues include energy security, non-energy sectors, international agreements/finance.
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment
Adaptation Focused Studies
OECD project Bridge Over Troubled Water
•Case studies for Egypt, Fiji, Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania, and Uruguay.
•General lessons:
•Climate Change is already affecting development.
•Future climate change may also need consideration in development planning.
•A significant portion of development assistance is directed at climate sensitive sectors. Range 50-65% in Nepal to 12-26% in Tanzania.
•Development activities routinely overlook climate change and often also variability.
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment
Adaptation Focused Studies, ContinuedProposed activities:
•Making climate information more relevant (including short term forecasts and variability).
•Developing and applying climate risk screening tools (including at project level).
•Identifying and using appropriate entry points for climate information (EIA, land use planning).
•Shifting emphasis to implementation.
•Encouraging meaningfull coordination
and the sharing of good practices
(private/public, international climate policies).
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment
International Climate Policies
Asian consultations on climate regime beyond. 2012, IGES. Dialogues with China, India, Indonesia, Korea, and Vietnam.
Ideas for strenthening the future climate regime from an Asian perspective:
•Developmental concerns, in particular energy security, should be addressed as a priority. Due consideration of equity.
•Flexibility in accomodating national conditions. Mitigation and adaptation differentiation.
•CDM projects with SD impacts.
•Mainstreaming of adaptation.
•Finance including flexible inter-governmental approaches and private finance.
•Capacity sthrengtening for Asian negotiatos and NGO’s.
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment
Cross-cutting Conclusions
•Mitigation policies have to be framed in the context of SD.
•Large growth in energy consumption is expected. Due to energy security and costs this can imply increasing CO2 intensity of energy consumption.
•GHG emission reduction policies need special consideration beyond baseline issues.
•Energy access and affordability issues are to be integral elements.
UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment
Cross-cutting Conclusions
•Climate change impacts already today influence major development priorities.•Very limited information and capacities are available for mainstreaming.•Mainstreaming need to be anchored in EIA and national planning, integrated in project implementation now.•SD framework is still not deeveloped as a framework that can be used in international climate cooperation despite various attempts are done by SD-PAM’s, Asian dialogues and other initiatives.

Proposed Activities, Continued….. •Integrate adaptation and mitigation studies:
•Methodological framework.
•Case examples on agriculture/energy, water/agriculture, energy/agriculture, biomass etc.
•Emphasis social impact analysis e.g. using household expenditure data and time series.
•Integrated local environmental impacts and health issues.
•Address key energy sector issues including:
•Energy security.
•Finance.
•The future role of coal and renewable energy.
•Draw general conclusions about replicability of case study lessons.
•Link to international climate policy regimes.
