Climate Finance Innovators

Webinar | Next Generation Carbon Markets
2019-09-09 13:00 - 14:30 (Europe/Helsinki)
In this Webinar the Climate Finance Innovators project present and discuss insights from Article 6 negotiations in the lead up to COP25 and analyse the emerging landscape of Article 6 pilots.
While Article 6 was the only item not finalized during COP24, Parties have made significant progress over the latest negotiation rounds to structure the new carbon market rules and to tackle the remaining technical intricacies of the mechanisms.
This period of uncertainty has also given rise to a number of initiatives that aim to test and prepare for these new rules and that already offer vital insights into the potential implementation of Article 6.

Atelier régional en Afrique de l'Est
2019-10-02 | Capital Hotel, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 22 Haile Gebre Silase St, Addis Ababa, ET 1878, Ethiopia
Le projet Climate Finance Innovators a organisé avec succès un atelier d’une journée le 2 octobre 2019 à Addis-Abeba (Éthiopie) sur le thème «La gestion de la transition de Kyoto à Paris: le potentiel des marchés du carbone et du financement de l’action climatique dans l’Afrique de l’Est». Les objectifs de l’atelier étaient de rendre plus facile l’apprentissage mutuel des éléments réussis de la mobilisation du financement climatique ainsi que l’identification des défis communs. Les parties prenantes des pays de l’Afrique de l’Est ont partagé les dernières informations sur les progrès et les expériences relatives à l’élaboration des propositions de financement, aux mécanismes de financement, aux systèmes MRV et à la comptabilité de la CDN.
En outre, les participants de l’atelier ont été invités à participer d’un événement de deux jours dont le titre était « Débat sur les marchés du carbone». Le dialogue régional a été co-organisé par le Climate Finance Innovators et le programme GIZ Global Carbon Markets, tous les deux parrainés par le Ministère Fédéral Allemand de l’Environnement, de la Protection de la Nature et de la Sûreté nucléaire (BMU), en collaboration avec le programme GIZ Energizing Development Ethiopia soutenu par l’Irish Aid et le Centre de Collaboration Régionale de la CCNUCC.
Les participants ont pu ainsi acquérir une meilleure compréhension de la nouvelle génération des marchés du carbone et des instruments de financement climatique de l’Accord de Paris. Enfin, l’atelier a permis de réfléchir conjointement aux succès et aux échecs générés par les mécanismes de Kyoto afin de contribuer à l’établissement des règles en vigueur pour les instruments de l’Accord de Paris, ainsi qu’aux préparatifs des pays de l’Afrique de l’Est pour accéder à ces sources de financement.

Exploiter les synergies entre les marchés du carbone et la finance climat pour réaliser des CDN ambitieuses
2019-12-12 12:30 - 14:00 (Europe/Helsinki) | COP 25, Av. del Partenón, Nº 5,, Madrid, 28042, Spain
IETA Pavilion
L’événement présente des initiatives des pays africains qui développent des synergies innovantes entre les mécanismes de marché et la finance climat. Le Sénégal montre comment ces activités appuient la réalisation de leur CDN ainsi que la préparation à la prochaine génération des marchés carbone au titre de l’article 6.

Aligning Nationally Determined Contributions with Long Term Low-Emission Development Strategies on Climate. Opportunities and Challenges in Africa.

The goal of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global temperature increase to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C. Parties to the Agreement have been invited to communicate their long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LT-LEDS) considering the common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in light of different national circumstances. Similarly, Parties are invited to update their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) reflecting their increased ambition until 2030.
The two policy processes are important for understanding and prioritizing which short- and medium-term investments and measures can contribute to a country’s climate goals while enabling countries to reach their long-term goals. LT-LEDS introduce a long-term perspective to policy planning that allows to consider whether certain activities may create long term lock-in effects into fossil fuel infrastructure even if they promise short term emission reductions compared to the status quo. This has implications on how to allocate resources, including international climate finance, capacity building and technology transfer.
LT-LEDS define a long-term vision for achieving the complete decarbonization of entire economies and can serve as goalposts for policymakers, investors, academia, and civil society. On the other hand, while NDCs are often affected by the constraints of ongoing policy processes, they offer practical and tangible roadmaps for realizing the Paris Agreement goals within the short to medium term. Considering long-term strategy in short term policymaking facilitates a shared understanding and higher certainty for stakeholders, enabling them to make more farsighted decisions and take early action. It can also foster innovation by sending the right signals to the private sector and researchers, which in turn can facilitate more ambitious NDCs over time. A long-term planning process enables to consider evolving adaptation needs and mitigation opportunities, hence, strengthen institutional capacity and regulatory frameworks over time.
It is therefore important that the two processes are aligned. This requires managing them in a mutually reinforcing manner, excluding negative implications for either of them. But how do countries realize this? Different countries in Africa are in the process of developing their long-term low emission development strategies and Nationally Determined Contributions. In order to demonstrate the practicability and benefits of aligning the two processes of long-term planning and setting NDCs, the GIZ Global Carbon Markets (GCM) Programme in Uganda in collaboration with the Climate Change Department of the Ministry of Water and Environment with support from the Germany Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety will conduct a workshop dur nder the Clean Development Mechanism the African continent benefited the least in terms of issuance. This however did not mean that carbon market activities did not take place. The Eastern African region has a porfolio of projects and the countries are concerned as to the fate of CDM projects and programme of activities as we transition into Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Conditionality and Article 6: An Analysis of updated NDCs of African countries
2021-05-25 17:30 - 18:30 (Europe/Berlin) | I4C 2021
Workshop for Climate Innovation Series
https://www.innovate4climate.com/
25 May 2021, 11.30AM EDT / 3.30 PM GMT/ 5.30PM CET / 6.30PM CET
In 2021, countries are expected to increase ambition by updating their NDC targets, as they enter their first year of NDC implementation. Looking at this experience, it becomes clear that the conditionality of NDC targets is a crucial feature, in particular for international support through Article 6 carbon markets. However, how to apply conditionality is not clearly defined in the UNFCCC rulebook and a lack of conceptual clarity opens space for different applications in NDCs, with potential consequences for access to Article 6 cooperative approaches.
The workshop launches the study “Conditionality and Article 6: An analysis of updated NDCs of African countries” that analyses the evolution of conditionality and its implementation with a focus on Africa. Practitioners and experts discuss how conditional/unconditional elements may impact Article 6 eligibility. The workshop concludes with whether a more broadly shared understanding of conditionality in NDCs is important for advancing Article 6 implementation.
