SECCI Timeline
 2007A: The Sustainable Energy and Climate
Change Initiative (SECCI) was created by the
IDB Board of Directors.
 2007B: The Board allocated US$20 million
from the Special Program of Ordinary Capital
resources to the SECCI-IDB Fund for Technical
Cooperations (TC).
The SECCI Multi-Donor Fund was established
with US$25 million from partner countries.
 2008B: Establishment of
SECCI Eligibility Committee.
the
multi-party
 2009A: SECCI activities were consolidated and

SECCI Areas: The Four Strategic Pillars
i. Expanding investment in Renewable
Energy and Energy Efficiency
technologies;
iii. Increasing access to international
Carbon Finance markets;
iv. Mainstreaming of adaptation to Climate
Change into policies and programs
across sectors in LAC.
Adaptation to
Climate Change
ii. Increasing investment of sustainable
bio-fuels;

Stand Alone
Primary Objectives
Work with national and regional institutions
to develop and integrate Climate Change
(CC)
and
Sustainable
Energy
(SE)
objectives into relevant strategies and
plans.
Framework for cooperation to foster:
i. Stakeholder’s awareness of CC and
preparedness
ii. Policy innovation
iii. Strengthening and/or creation of
institutional capacity
iv. A strengthened knowledge-base on
CC and Sustainable Energy
v. Introduction and application of
science and technology into the
decision-making process

Results: Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Promotion
i. SECCI
provided
country-level
policy
assistance in supporting Renewable Energy
and Energy Efficiency Programs in 10
countries of the Region.
ii. SECCI funded studies that examined the
strategic aspect of developing markets for
Renewable Energy components (such as
wind blades in Brazil), as well as studies
that analyzed the potential of wave and
tidal energy (as in the case of Chile).
 Wind energy -- steady and impressive
growth rate (25–30%) in 10 years.
 The doubling of installed wind power
capacity reduces costs per kWh produced
by new turbines between 9% and 17%.
 Installed wind power capacity doubles
every 4-5 five years.

Energy Association EWEA, March 2009.
Results: Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Promotion
iii. SECCI, jointly with SCF and ENE, supported
three regional Technical Cooperations that
provided quick access to high quality
consulting firms in the areas of Renewable
Energy generation, either public or private,
as well as to Energy Efficiency auditors for
water utility and private sector companies.

The energy audit for ENACAL
(Nicaragua) identified US$2.9 million in
potential energy savings (and additional
potential savings of 15–20% over the next
three years) with a payback period of only
eight months, to be achieved with US$1.9
million in programmed investments.
Results: Sustainable Bio-fuels Development
i. SECCI
provided
country-level
policy
assistance
in
support
of
bio-fuel
development: Blueprints in DR., Haiti and El
Salavador;
Action Plans in Honduras,
Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico.
ii. SECCI started working with private sector
investment officers to increase awareness
regarding the range of sustainability factors
- economic, social, and environmental when reviewing bio-fuels projects for
investments.
iii. SECCI supported two regional meetings of
the Mesoamerican Bio-fuels Working Group
to support them in coordinating their efforts.
iv. The SECCI Initiative and the Structured and
Corporate Finance Department (VPP/SCF)
created a Bio-fuels Sustainability Scorecard
based on the sustainability criteria of the
Roundtable on Sustainable Bio-fuels.

Results: Increasing Access to Carbon Markets
i. SECCI is supporting local institutions to
increase capacity to develop and promote
projects and their treatment under the
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
scheme.
Examples
include
the
implementation of TC projects like the
“Country Program for Energy Efficiency
(Chile)”, and support provided to the
“Mexican Carbon Fund (FOMECAR);”
ii. SECCI resources have supported the
enhancement of the role and involvement
of local financial institutions in the Carbon
Markets, such as NAFIN (Mexico), BDMG
(Brazil), and Bancolombia (Colombia);
iii. An information and capacity building
platform on Carbon Markets is currently
being promoted in conjunction with the
World Bank.
NCAR – Washington DC May 2008
Results: Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation
into IDB Operations and Country Development Plans
i. SECCI is financing a set of Technical
Cooperation projects that promote the
implementation and dissemination of State
Action Plans against Climate Change
(PEACCs)
in
five
vulnerable
states
(currently in a first phase).
ii. SECCI is providing financial support to the
National
Environmental
Authority
of
Panama (ANAM), supporting its ongoing
effort to elaborate a National Climate
Change Action Plan.
iii. SECCI is also providing the Region with
tools to assess vulnerability and anticipated
impacts of Climate Change. For that
purpose, SECCI established a collaboration
agreement with the scientific partner the
National Center for Atmospheric Sciences
(NCAR).

Policy Based Loans (PBLs) for Climate Change (CC)
Objective: Create institutions, operational
mechanisms, and policy frameworks for the
mainstreaming of adaptation and mitigation
into public policy.
Experience of Mexico (2008 $200m and 2009
$400m):
 Promoting leadership on Climate
Change policy from Finance Ministries.
 Creating institutional space, crossMinisterial dialogue, and collaboration
on Climate Change.
 Continuous and phased approach to
policy change and capacity
strengthening – effective
mainstreaming tool.
 Generating new ideas; policy
innovation and sharing of lessons
across and between Governments.

Plan for 2009-2012
Scale-up SECCI activities across the Bank for:




Low carbon growth;
Climate resilience;
Institutional strengthening and mobilizing new finance;
Set ambitious target for low carbon energy: potentially 50% for
2012 with interim targets to 2020.
Strengthen the safeguards aspects of Climate Change, develop:
 Guidelines on minimum Climate Change performance criteria;
 Guidance on assessing and managing projects contributions to
Climate Change;
 Capacity to assess the risks and vulnerability of projects as a
result of Climate Change;
 Report on the carbon footprint the portfolio of operations.
