2 Technology Needs Assessments – Technical Workshop
Executive Summary Country participation and overall impact The workshop was held at UNEP DTIE, Paris on 17‐18th February. Representatives of the following 14 countries, distributed by region, attended the workshop. •
•
•
Latin America: Costa Rica, Peru, Guatemala Africa: Senegal, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire (CIV), Kenya, Morocco Asia and Eastern Europe: Georgia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh Besides country representatives, the UNEP and URC staff members from the core project team attended the workshop. Argentina, one of the 15 ‘First Round’ countries that had been invited to workshop was not able to send a representative. However, a subsequent communication from the government confirmed Argentina’s continued interest and commitment to the project, and signalled its preparedness to host a URC country mission to meet stakeholders and initiate in‐country activities. Overall, country representatives as well as UNEP and URC staff considered the workshop a success in meeting expectations, including establishing a clear understanding of the objectives and operational scope of the project, the main challenges ahead, and the level of commitment required by all stakeholders to realize the most important outcome – fundable technology action plans. Main outcomes/decisions Project methodology and technical focus: Participants understood and agreed that, in each country, the main steps in developing a technology action plan are the following: (1) Prioritizing technologies (mitigation and adaptation); (2) Barrier analysis (including market assessment in the case of mitigation technologies); (3) Identification of policy options for creating an enabling framework for technology transfer; and (4) Technology action plan (based on prioritized technologies). In sum, the TNA Project was understood as being primarily a technical exercise designed to deliver concrete results in terms of creating institutional capacity to identify and remove barriers to the transfer and scale‐up of mitigation and adaptation technologies in the context of technology action plans. Countries may utilize some intermediate deliverables of the project – such as barrier analyses reports ‐
‐ to support specific positions in their climate negotiations. However, the overriding technical focus of the project should not be compromised. 3 In‐country institutional set‐up: From the country presentations, it was observed that countries are at different degrees of readiness regarding the institutional framework for project implementation, as well as prior TNA‐relevant work, such as identification of priority technologies for mitigation. All the participating countries are committed to creating TNA project teams in the shortest possible time. Country mission plans and contracts: Though details are yet to be worked out, country representatives and URC staff made substantial progress towards planning of missions by URC‐UNEP teams to support project start‐up in each country. Broad activities were outlined, prospective stakeholders to be met identified, and tentative dates for the country missions were agreed (see Appendix 6). Dates for Costa Rica will be confirmed following the elections in April. URC will also discuss and agree on country mission dates and activities with Argentina by mid‐March. Prior to each country mission, URC will prepare and circulate templates for country plans and contracts. These will be elaborated and finalized during the country missions for subsequent implementation. COP16: Participants noted that the upcoming 16th Conference of the Parties (COP 16) in November‐December 2010 could provide a valuable opportunity for countries to present initial results of their activities – including priority technologies, barrier analyses, and perhaps early stage project concepts ‐‐ to an audience that includes potential funders. Therefore progress of project in the countries will be closely monitored with a view to selecting and presenting the most significant results at COP 16. 4 1. Background and Project Objectives Technology transfer has been under focus since the Rio Summit in 1992, where issues related to technology transfer were included in Agenda 21 as well as in Articles 4.3, 4.5 and 4.7 of the UNFCCC Convention. Starting with first Conference of Parties (COP1), the issues related to technology transfer were discussed in various COPs, resulting in GEF funding for first round of Technology Needs Assessment between 1999 and 2004. The results were however not satisfactory in many cases and were considered non‐implementable. Traversing through various COPs, the discussions on technology transfer issues culminated in endorsement of the GEF proposal on the Poznan Strategic Programme on Technology Transfer by COP14. As a part of the programme, GEF is providing funding, with UNEP as the implementing agency, to carry out improved Technology Needs Assessments within the framework of the UNFCCC in 35 to 45 countries. The purpose of this Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) project is to assist participant developing country Parties identify and analyze priority technology needs, which can form the basis for a portfolio of environmentally sound technology (EST) projects and programmes to facilitate the transfer of, and access to, the ESTs and know‐how in the implementation of Article 4.5 of the UNFCCC Convention. Hence TNAs are central to the work of Parties to the Convention on technology transfer and present an opportunity to track an evolving need for new equipment, techniques, practical knowledge and skills, which are necessary to mitigate GHG emissions and/or reduce the vulnerability of sectors and livelihoods to the adverse impacts of climate change. The objectives thus are; •
•
•
To identify and prioritize through country‐driven participatory processes, technologies that can contribute to mitigation and adaptation goals of the participant countries, while meeting their national sustainable development goals and priorities (TNA). To identify barriers hindering the acquisition, deployment, and diffusion of prioritized technologies. To develop Technology Action Plans (TAP) specifying activities and enabling frameworks to overcome the barriers and facilitate the transfer, adoption, and diffusion of selected technologies in the participant countries. The intention is that assisted countries go beyond identifying technology needs narrowly and develop national technology action plans for prioritized technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support adaptation to climate change, and are consistent with national development objectives. The assessments will involve amongst others in‐depth analysis and prioritization of technologies, analysis of potential barriers hindering the transfer of prioritized technologies 5 as well as issues related to potential market opportunities at the national level. National Technology Action Plans (TAPs) agreed by all stakeholders at the country level will be prepared consistent with both the domestic and global objectives. Each TAP, which will outline essential elements of an enabling framework for technology transfer consisting of market development measures, institutional, regulatory and financial measures, and human and institutional capacity development requirements, will also include a detailed plan of action to implement the proposed policy measures and estimate the need for external assistance to cover additional implementation costs. Targeted training and supporting materials related to methodology for prioritization of technologies, market assessment, access and links to data on technologies will be developed and tested and made available to all participant countries. Experience gained during the project implementation will be shared amongst participating countries to enhance cross‐country learning. The project will also help provide feedback to fine tune methodologies and contribute to the revision of the new TNA Handbook through an iterative process involving the national project partners and regional centres of excellence. The project is being implemented in two rounds, with 15 countries in the first round and the remaining 20 to 30 countries in the second round. The first round of 15 countries was endorsed by the Project Steering Committee in December 2009, and subsequently invited by the UNEP to the Inception Workshop, held in Paris on 17‐18 February. The main purpose of the purpose of the workshop was to establish a clear understanding of the overall objectives and activities of the TNA project in the participant countries, and get their initial feedback on the proposed work‐plan and their needs. To this end, discussions in groups were organised for country representatives to express their views regarding how best to operationalize the project to address country specific needs, challenges and opportunities. In addition to the discussions, country participants were invited to elaborate on ongoing or previous climate change technology‐
related activities and initiatives undertaken in their countries. The most important expected outcome, by the end of the workshop, was an understanding between UNEP and the countries on the main tasks and activities to be carried out at country level and, if needed, further elaborated during follow‐up country missions. This report gives an overview of presentations and deliberations at the workshop. A list of participants is attached in Appendix 7 and some photographs of the workshop are included in Appendix 8. 6 2. Workshop Proceedings Day 1: February 17, 2010 2.1 Introductory Session Welcome and Project Introduction: Mr. Bernard Jamet, UNEP DTIE welcomed the participants and introduced the project. The TNA project, funded by GEF through UNEP, is regarded as a very important project since it reflects the COP mandate to the UNFCCC. UNEP is the executing agency and will be in charge of organising the work over the 30 month period, with the assistance of the UNEP Risoe Centre (URC). In the first round of TNA, 92 countries participated. It was decided to go further in the framework of COP14 at Poznan with GEF support for 35‐45 countries, with 15 countries in a first round. This Inception Workshop is to launch the project for the first round of 15 countries, invited to the workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to communicate to the country representatives and experts about the project objectives, institutional mechanism for implementation, expected outcomes, exchange views with them and get feedback. The Project Steering Committee will be continually informed of the status and progress of the project, and of any difficulties encountered. This was followed by a round of introduction in which the country representatives introduced themselves and stated their expectations for the workshop, and the project as a whole. Most of the countries were involved in the first round of TNA but there were a number of gaps in the earlier process and some participants said they hoped to address these gaps through the present project. Keynote Address: The keynote address by Ms. Sylvie Lemmet, UNEP DTIE, who stressed on the following points; ƒ
Participants are coming from different backgrounds with different perspectives and may have different expectation from the project. Many countries were involved in the first round of TNA and some may have found that process satisfactory while others did not. Some will focus on mitigation, others on adaptation. It is important to keep in mind that: • The subject is quite challenging. • For the reasons explained, there is no single manual suitable for all countries. • Much can be achieved through interaction, coming up with a tailored process for the individual country needs. 7 •

The project is a part of the UNFCCC process, started in Poznan and funded by GEF, but is only “one stone” in building the low‐C “house”. TNA aims to trigger the process, through future NAMAs and NAPAs, encouraging technology and investment flows and initiating other projects. The countries here are part of the first round, others will join later. The hope is to achieve something tangible before COP16 in Mexico and be able to present something there on how the process has relevance for future steps. This means the aim should be to identify some product or lessons that can be shared two months ahead of COP16. A plan for technology transfer is not going to solve all the problems. What is needed is a technology road map showing how it can be “rolled out”. Thus the focus of the project has to be on creating an Action Plan rather than just an assessment. The TNA should concentrate on the key barriers, be they financial, economic, policy, institutional, etc., and identify the necessary reforms and institutional strengthening requirements. It should bring out how to engage the private sector and how to best use public programmes. This requires identifying how to use public money to focus on key issues for triggering private sector investment. While this may be more relevant for the mitigation technologies, we also need to investigate what it means for adaptation. Question‐Answer Session: The introductory session ended with a question‐answer session and comments from the participants, which helped everyone understand the project better. The importance of quick delivery was stressed again by UNEP during the session. It was also clarified that although the overall project has 30 months timeframe, the first round will end within 18 months with development of a high quality TAP, containing a few relevant technologies in detail, prioritising and defining how to remove barriers that prevent accelerated deployment of the technology. It is expected that by COP 16 at Mexico there would be some lessons and results to share, showing that things are progressing. The workshop agenda is included in Appendix 1 and the question‐answer part of the introductory session is included as Appendix 2. 2.2 Country Presentations (Sessions I and II) In the introductory comments, UNEP emphasised the need for a country‐driven process, structured to meet individual country needs, conscious of different interpretations and taking into account different points of view. In the course of communication prior to the workshop, countries had been requested to select a few relevant items for presentation from the country presentation agenda, which had been made available to them in advance. Representatives of all 14 countries made presentations on a few items from the list of points that also included status of country activities, institutional framework and expectation from the project. The country presentations are briefly discussed below in the sequence the presentations were made. 8 Senegal Senegal currently has no specialized agency to promote environmentally sound technologies, and technology transfer has so far occurred in the course of business activities of public and private sector companies. This includes by companies such as The National Electricity Company, which is responsible for production, transport and distribution of electricity in Senegal, and companies in the industrial sector such as SAR, ICS, SUNEOR, SOCOCIM, CIMSAHEL, and CSS etc. The electricity and industrial sector is the largest producer and consumer of energy in Senegal. The industrial sector of Senegal is composed mainly of SMEs and there is a need for transfer of environmentally sound technologies to this sector. There is also a need to establish an appropriate institutional mechanism to coordinate TNA efforts. This should include various ministries, private and public sector industries and institutions, and universities and research centres. Shortcomings of the first TNA in Senegal included the lack of an appropriate institutional mechanism and restriction of the study to only a few sectors. Several activities related to acquiring better technology such as efficient lighting, installation of clean technologies in buildings, promotion of Renewable Energy including wind, solar and biomass, landfill recovery, use of bio‐energy to substitute fossil fuels have been initiated in Senegal as a part of climate change related initiatives. Various ministries have been created and a legal framework is being developed to promote renewable energy. Capacity building and technical support requirements for the current TNA include strengthening capacities in the area of mitigation, particularly for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and for adaptation. One of the representatives from Morocco asked why the presentation focussed only on mitigation. The Senegal team replied that adaptation indeed is a high priority for Senegal. Cambodia Cambodia is one of the LDCs with 80 percent rural population and with a technical, financial and institutional capacity to address climate change. Cambodia had prepared their National Adaptation Programme of Action to Climate Change (NAPA) in 2006 and their National Strategic Development Plan 2006‐2010 calls for resource mobilization to implement the NAPA. Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment is responsible for driving the climate change related activities including mitigation, and vulnerability and adaptation. The National Climate 9 Change Committee (NCCC), comprising representatives from various ministries and agencies is responsible for making policies. NCCC functions include promoting the transfer of appropriate technologies for renewable energies, conservation and enhancement of carbon stocks. Cambodia was one of the countries in the first round of TNA, which was funded by the GEF as a top‐up activity. It included preparing a list of technology needs for forestry, agriculture, energy, industry, transportation, and waste sectors to abate GHG emission. Subsequently, Cambodia identified 39 important adaptation projects for urgent implementation in agriculture, water resources, human health and coastal area. Cambodia formulated its Power Sector Strategy 2009‐2016 for development of the power sector with a strong focus on rural electrification using renewable energy. The energy efficiency initiative is however yet to be implemented at national level. The TNA initiative in Cambodia would require a lot of capacity building and technical support to develop legal and policy framework to promote technology transfer enhance technical capacity, develop incentive mechanism to promote technology transfer, and implementation of pilot projects. Cambodia would expect availability of advisory support accessible on demand and hopes that the project would establish all necessary prerequisites for future transfer and implementation of appropriate mitigation and adaptation technologies that address climate change in participating countries. Costa Rica The institutional framework includes Ministerio de Ambiente y Energia Telecomunicaciones (MINAET‐ Ministry of Environment, Energy and Telecommunication) with its two sub‐sectors renewable energy (ICE) and transport (RECOPE) among the leading agencies on technological issues related to climate change, which also includes El Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (MICIT – Ministry of Science and Technology) and Ministry of Foreign Relations. Transport is the major greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sector with a share of about 70% of the total emissions from energy in 2005, followed by industry sector at approx. 18%. Overall GHG emissions are projected to increase by more than 250% between 2008 and 2030, with fossil fuel contributing highest with emissions going up by more than four times in a business as usual scenario. Therefore technologies in these and other sectors can play an important role in achieving emissions reduction. Mitigation technologies in the energy sector alone can reduce 2030 BAU emissions by more than 30%, while mitigation in all sectors can reduce the emissions by more than 60%. Costa Rica has potential for mitigation at negative marginal costs from a variety of technologies, whereas advanced technologies can contribute further to mitigation but may be costly; renewable energy, ethanol, electricity technologies for example. The forest sector has quite high mitigation potential at very low costs, less than US$10 per tonne of CO2. 10 The planned activities include expansion of the renewable energy sector, improvement of transport infrastructure including creation of a clean transport system, treatment of waste and a Programme related to payment for environmental services. A legal and regulatory system is also being considered in Costa Rica, with discussions on issues such as carbon neutral (C‐Neutral) regulation, and regulations for water treatment and hydro resources. The Greening Public Sector Programme and Education and Climate Change Programme are C‐Neutral programs under consideration. The Greening of the Public Sector programme includes energy and water saving measures, clean transportation, waste reduction and recycling, and a green purchase system. The Education and Climate Change Programme aims to engage teachers of science in primary and secondary education. The programme includes education and awareness on energy savings in school and at home, waste recycling, energy efficiency etc. Costa Rica has also been active in preparation and submission of NAMAS. The sectors covered by NAMAs are energy, transport and forestry sectors. Côte d’Ivoire The Côte d’Ivoire presentation covered a description of a TNA and its methodology. The TNA is seen as a set of country‐driven activities to identify the mitigation and adaptation technology priorities of a country. Besides identification of technologies for both mitigation and adaptation, it requires barrier removal actions identified with active stakeholder engagements for the deployment and diffusion of the identified technologies. Capacity development needs are required to be identified and implementation plan for the technologies need to be made in consultation with key stakeholders. The presentation also covered the stakeholder engagement process. Côte d’Ivoire plans to prepare a national action plan to attract climate friendly technologies and provide that as an input to the WSSD process. They have also identified the need to strengthen national institutions to support technology development and innovation in Côte d’Ivoire. Georgia Georgia participated in the first round of the TNA and implemented the project “Capacity Building to Assess Technology Needs” in 2001‐02. The assessment however only covered energy efficiency in the energy and industrial processes and no further action could be taken to implement the identified measures. Currently, all technology transfer activities are in the private sector, mainly through CDM projects. The Institutional mechanism for the TNA has still not been established in Georgia and the Ministry of Environment Protection and Natural Resources of Georgia will be the lead agency to implement the project. Georgia considers this capacity building as an opportunity in view of Copenhagen Green Climate Fund, that would be established to support projects, programmes, policies and other activities in developing countries related to mitigation 11 including REDD‐plus, adaptation, capacity‐building, technology development and transfer. Georgia will be making efforts to build a low‐carbon economy that ensures continued growth and sustainable development. Guatemala An Inter‐institutional Climate Change Commission headed by the vice‐president has been set‐up in Guatemala in 2009, which includes representatives from various ministries. Various working groups have been set‐up to work under the commission to work on specialised areas such as energy, health, climate change scenarios, biodiversity. In the past vulnerability, adaptation, and GHG mitigation studies have been carried out and the national climate change policy focuses on these three areas. Participatory process is an important component of the climate policy. The climate policy is being operationalised through; (i) national capacity building focussing on technology development, appropriate agricultural practices (considering climate change), education and public awareness etc, (ii) Risk management, vulnerability reduction and adaptation improvement focussing on land use planning, risk management and innovative financial mechanisms, and (iii) Mitigation, focussing on mitigation from energy production and use, forest resources, and waste management. A proposal for a Framework Law for Climate Change under consideration will strengthen the activities in these areas. Indonesia Indonesia has been involved in the first round of the TNA and has also subsequently carried out a comprehensive TNA for mitigation options. The institutional mechanism included a Working Group on Technology Transfer under Ministry of Environment, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) for Natural Resource Development Technology, and the members include from various ministries, research Institutes and universities, public and private sector enterprises, business associations, and NGOs. The National Council on Climate Change of Indonesia (NCCC) is the new addition to this. Institutions will also be expanded to cover adaptation. Indonesia completed the first round of TNA in 2007‐8 using the UNDP TNA Guidelines from 2004. The quality of data availability and analysis however varied across sectors. Technical support was very limited and prioritization mostly used expert judgment. Indonesia subsequently initiated another TNA in 2009 with support from GTZ, but it is limited to mitigation, covering 7 sectors: Energy, Transportation, Industry, Forestry, Agriculture, Waste and Ocean. Indonesia has involved stakeholders extensively in this TNA. Activities that can benefit from the TNA in Indonesia include the GHG emission reduction action plan related to Indonesia’s Voluntary Programme for reducing emission 26% in 2020, energy plans of the Ministry of Energy, Climate Change Roadmap of the National Planning Agency, and Strategic Plan on National Energy Conservation Programme Development 2005 12 – 2025”of the Ministry of Industry. Indonesia has facilitating energy policy, laws and regulations to implement these programmes. Indonesia seeks to update the TNA using the recent TNA handbook and prioritization tools, extend it to cover adaptation, prepare technology action plan, and eventually, implement it. Kenya Kenya also participated in the first round TNA and the final draft report is available from the UNFCCC website. The institutional structure in Kenya consists of representatives from various ministries, headed by the prime minister’s office, who coordinates with the other ministries involved in various issues including climate change. The Ministry of Environment & Mineral Resources (MEMR) is however responsible for formulating policies related to environmental management. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), under the MEMR, is the coordinating agency on environmental issues. There are various committees under NEMA to deal with specific issues. The Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Energy, and Ministry of Transport are other institutions involved in issues related to mitigation of climate change. Kenya has an active promotion policy for renewable and other technologies identified in the TNA report. This includes small hydro‐power, biogas production units have been installed in industries, institutions, homesteads, slaughterhouses, and solar energy. Kenya expects that capacity development through TNA project should lead to development and promotion of a variety of projects including CDM projects, irrigation projects, waste recycling projects, waste water methane recovery projects etc. Mali Mali representative presented the regular institutional framework concerned with technology transfer issues (Ministerial Departments, AMADER, CNESOLER, GTPA, RRC, SAP, CSA, water Committee). Mali technology needs are expressed so far in the National Communication to the UNFCCC and the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA). Examples of mitigation technologies given are: renewable energies, energy efficiency, bio‐
energy and biogas, fuel wood saving technologies. On the adaptation side, the example of agro‐meteorology to adapt agricultural practices to the new climatic conditions was given. Morocco The Moroccan representatives started by showing climate change impacts on vital sectors of the economy (droughts, floods, extension of the semi‐arid climate type to the northern part of the country). They then presented the strategy developed by Morocco to combat climate change. The strategy includes voluntary actions to decouple economic growth and GHG emission as well as necessary actions to protect the population and economic sectors that are most vulnerable to climate change impacts. This strategy is translated into actions and 13 measures to be taken by concerned Ministerial Departments at the central and regional level in two main documents: the “National Plan to Combat Climatic Warming” (Plan National de lutte contre le Réchauffement Climatique ‐ PNRC ‐) and the “Regional Plans to Combat Climatic Warming” (Plans Territoriaux de lutte contre le Réchauffement Climatique ‐ PTRC ‐) to take into account local circumstances. The adaptation strategy includes the agriculture plan (Plan Maroc vert), the water strategy, measures to fight climate diseases, to preserve biodiversity, etc. The mitigation plan includes the energy strategy, the energy efficiency programme, the reforestation plan, etc. Mitigation measures are mainly directed to the energy, transport, industry, waste, agriculture, forestry and building sectors. Adaptation measures are directed to the meteorology forecast and to the water, agriculture forestry, fishing, building, health, and tourism sectors. Governance measures are also included the national plan (PNRC). The following examples of mitigation projects in the energy sector were mentioned (100 micro hydro power plants of 3 MW each, 2 GW thermal solar power plants, 5 GW of wind power by 2030, use of clean technology in existing coal power plants). On the adaptation side, the examples were: risk prevention (urgency plans for floods and droughts), water savings in homes, industry and agriculture, development of hydro infrastructure, water desalination, wastewater reuse, rainwater collection and storage. The institutional framework consists of two main Committees: the national climate change committee (CNCC) and the National Scientific and Technical Committee (CNST‐CC) Peru The Environment Ministry (MINAM) and CONCYTEC (head of the Peruvian Innovation System) consortium was created in 2009 to coordinate the participatory process of elaboration and implementation of National Research Strategy in Climate Change 2010‐
2021, under the leadership of CONCYTEC. Several laws have been passed between 2005 and 2009 to facilitate working of CONCYTEC. The TNA Project will also be coordinated by the MINAM‐CONCYTEC consortium Peru participated in the first round of TNA but focussed exclusively on mitigation aspects of energy, transport and forest‐agriculture. The exercise in Peru proposed 16 technologies but these were not discussed and evaluated. Peru would like to see the process being more demand focussed and with wide stakeholder participation. Other lessons from the first round include the need for strengthening capacities of MINAM and CONCYTEC, focusing on local and regional level while identifying technologies, paying attention to existing technologies and practices in case of adaptation, and establishing a national centre for technology transfer that could be made responsible for identifying the technology needs. 14 Peru would also like to develop human resources at different levels to develop and promote technologies. Related activities include promotion of demonstration projects on renewable energy by The Ministry of Energy and Mines and Implementation of the National Research Strategy in Climate Change 2010‐2021 by MINAM–CONCYTEC consortium. Peru would expect the TNA project to contribute to technology transfer in line with the research strategy. Thailand Current estimate of climate change impacts on Thailand, estimated GHG emissions from various sectors were presented first by the team. Thailand TNA team will be drawn from and interact with the Subcommittee on Science and Technology, Subcommittee on Climate Change Cooperation and Negotiation, and Climate Change Coordinator, all of whom are under the National Climate Change Policy Board. An active stakeholders engagement is planned in the project. With the core agency, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, several ministries and private sectors will be involved as stakeholders. For adaptation, coastal area management, readiness against extreme events, impact on agriculture, forest ecosystem and biodiversity and health are major issues. For mitigation, options for energy, transport, industry and buildings, agriculture and waste management are considered important. Capacity building is required for research and global climate observation systems. Vietnam Vietnam is highly vulnerable to climate change and impacts can be very damaging according to current estimates with Ho Chi Minh City in the list of the most affected 10 cities of the World according to the OECD. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) is the focal agency for climate change related initiatives. A National Steering Committee chaired by MONRE with representatives from 15 different ministries and agencies deals with these issues. Specialized agencies work under MONRE and various expert groups have also been established. Land‐use change and Forestry (LUCF) followed by energy were the main sectors contributing to GHG emissions in Vietnam. The projection for 2030 indicates an increasing trend in emissions from these two sectors, with almost 8 times and 3 times increase over 2000 levels for energy and LUCF, respectively. Several technological options for mitigation have been identified in Vietnam, many of which are negative cost options. Several sectors and activities including energy production and refining and industrial processes, transport, agriculture, forestry and households have been identified as key priority sectors for TNA. Vietnam expects the project to support their national climate programme, help develop suitable technologies for mitigation and adaptation, and develop human resources in the country. 15 Bangladesh Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries relating to climate change impact and hence considers the project important from an adaptation perspective. Bangladesh did not participate in the first round of TNA activities and therefore looks to building and expanding capacity through the project. No formal institutional arrangement exists at present in Bangladesh. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF) is leading the activities related to climate change and there is a national steering committee on climate change. Some activities are conducted by the Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Science and Technology (BCSIR), Universities and the Private sector. There is a need for institutional and human resources development, R&D capacity, particularly for adaptation and renewable energy. Several sectors including water, agriculture, transport, industry, forests etc. Need to be involved. Government has allocated $100 million for Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan. Current initiatives include promotion of solar energy, energy conservation, biomass production, solid waste management etc. Bangladesh expects TNA project to mobilize stakeholders, assess various climate change related activities, identify mitigation and adaptation needs, develop low carbon path, and renewable energy among others. Country presentation slides are attached as Appendix 3. (Part 1 and Part 2). 2.3 URC presentations on Project overview and methodology Presentation; Introduction and Overall Approach Project Objectives: The objectives of the project are; (i) To identify and prioritize through country‐driven participatory processes, technologies that can contribute to mitigation and adaptation goals of the participant countries, while meeting their national sustainable development goals and priorities (TNA), (ii) To identify barriers hindering the acquisition, deployment, and diffusion of prioritized technologies, and (iii)To develop Technology Action Plans (TAP) specifying activities and enabling frameworks to overcome the barriers and facilitate the transfer , adoption, and diffusion of selected technologies in the participant countries. The project was started in November 2009 and is being implemented in two rounds with the list of first round countries approved by the project steering committee in December 2009. First round countries are expected to complete their work in 18 months‐ by July 2011. The second round, involving 20 to 30 countries will be launched in October 2010. The total project duration is 30 months with the project ending in April 2012. 16 The first step is identification and prioritization of technologies, but the project does not stop with the list of prioritized technologies. Market assessment and barrier analysis is done for the prioritized technologies and an enabling framework is developed. Finally prioritization of technologies along with enabling work will lead to the development of an implementable Technology Action Plan (TAP). TAPs can be used as inputs to prepare high quality NAMAs and NAPAs, which then can have lead to improved chances for funding of their implementation. Core elements of approach: This consists of three tracks; the first track is a work‐
plan for countries and its implementation. The work‐plan details activities for the countries to achieve the objectives. Individual country plans will be finalised in consultation with countries during the country missions, after the inception workshop. It would however require that TNA coordinator and TNA team is in place in the countries, before the plan is finalised. The detailed plan at country level needs to be finalised in consultation with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, through discussions and national inception workshop. Experts / consultants are selected at the country level to help TNA team to implement the project. The second track relates to the technical support structure for the countries. This includes methodology elaboration and training through regional capacity building workshops, data facilitation, support through regional centres in implementation, help desk, experience sharing workshop and intranet for exchanging information and views. Regional centre will play central role in the second round with major role in capacity building and other activities in the regions. The third track consists of communication and dissemination through a variety of measures; website, networks, project work‐shops, newsletters etc. It also includes preparation of guidebooks and other documents for use by second round countries as well by others in future. At country level, the TNA team needs to include various stakeholders from ministries, other public agencies, private sector and experts. The team should engage a broad range of stakeholders at various steps. Lessons learnt from the first round of TNA: The first round of TNA was initiated in 1999 with some countries submitting the report even in 2008. A synthesis of some of the completed TNAs was carried out by UNDP and UNEP. It recommended; (i) strengthening national capacity should be a key priority for future work on technology transfer activities. (ii) Adaptation needs strengthening. (iii) Stakeholders role needs to be well defined and involvement strengthened. (iv) Non‐technological options need to be given better attention, and (v) Activities should be well defined and timely technical guidance should be available Implementation of the findings needs to be supported. In a workshop on TNA best practices convened by UNFCCC in 2007, following recommendations were made; (i) A good institutional set‐up at country level is needed; proper selection of project coordinator and team (of experts) is necessary. (ii) Stakeholder group should be drawn from key relevant institutions. (iii) Detailed work‐plan with clear 17 objectives and roles, in consultation with stakeholders should be made. (iv) Right (and most recent) methodology should be used, while adapting guidance to national circumstances. (v) Prioritization tool should be used in accordance to the national circumstances. (vi) A wide range of criteria should be used but a small number of key sectors should be identified. (vii) A barrier analysis for the selected/prioritized technologies should be conducted. (viii) Implementation plans to address the barriers identified should be drawn. (ix) Project proposals should be developed. Country work‐plan and milestones were also presented. Same are attached as Appendix 4. Presentation; Main steps in developing a technology action plan Technology Action Plans (TAPs) for the participating countries are final output from the project. It requires four basic steps to produce a TAP. The first step is prioritization of technologies. The objective is to select a few technologies for further market analysis and inclusion in the action plan. A few sectors will need to be selected based on importance of the sectors and other criteria such as their emissions (in case of mitigation) and vulnerability / severity of possible impacts of climate change (in case of adaptation). It could be through review of existing planning documents (TNAs, NAPAs, national communications, energy plans, renewable energy plans, PRSPs etc.) Technologies for the selected sectors are then identified and prioritized using multi criteria analysis. Stakeholder experience and expert knowledge can be used to identify technologies. The criteria and their weights for the prioritization need to be decided by the TNA team in consultation with the stakeholders and could include development priorities in terms of contribution to development goals (poverty, social, environment), economic competitiveness, significant reduction potential and marginal abatement costs, industrial development/employment effects etc. The second step is to analyse the market conditions for the each selected technology and to identify barriers for its enhanced deployment. It would require forming a work group per technology, which is active through all the analytical steps (5‐20 stakeholders). The group identifies barriers to implementation of the identified technologies, such as legal, social, institutional, and knowledge barriers. The analysis then leads to the next step of identification of policies to develop an enabling environment for implementation. The enabling framework can include economic incentives, institutional changes, information and awareness measures, legal changes, standards and codes, market liberalization etc. The required policy and other actions to create an enabling framework for implementation are identified and put together as the technology action plan (TAP). The TAP is thus a prioritized set of actions to enhance market penetration for which ensuring buy in by politicians is crucial. The TAP should contain various elements of enabling environments, responsible actors/institutions, timetable and milestones for implementation, resource requirements, including financing needs (national as well as external). 18 Presentation; Main steps in developing a technology action plan for adaptation technologies IPCC defined adaptation as “adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.” Technologies for Adaptation in the TNA handbook are defined as “All Technologies that can be applied in the process of adapting to climatic variability and climate change.” Different types of adaptation technologies could include hardware or hard technologies such as tools, equipment, physical facilities etc., software or soft technologies such as knowledge to use the tools and machinery, and orgware (organisation), which refers to institutional framework to implement technologies. Commonly identified sectors in IPCC (AR 4) for adaptation include Freshwater resources, forests and ecosystems, agriculture, coastal systems, industry, and health. Differences between adaptation and mitigation technologies: Climate adaptation is often the continuation of an ongoing process where the same techniques have been used for generations (e.g. houses on stilts). Few technologies are specifically designed for adaptation, rather they respond to broader sustainable development needs (e.g. improved water quality). Adaptation technologies are generally less capital intensive, suitable to small‐
scale interventions and local variations and context. The effects/outcomes of adaptation cannot be measured by a single indicator (such as CO2e emissions), are dependent on future projections. Finally, transfers of adaptation technologies do not necessarily follow a north‐
south approach of equipment exports. Technologies may already be in place but face barriers to implementation and use. Starting point for identification of adaptation technologies: Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessments (V&A) carried out as a part of the national communication is the starting point and it requires addressing baseline socio‐economic scenarios, and information on climate change scenarios, coastal resources, water resources, agriculture, human health etc. Information on vulnerability of these resources to adverse effects of climate change, and on adaptation measures arising from these effects also needs to be collected. National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) of the 49 Least Developed Countries (LDCs) can help them identify priority adaptation activities. The NAPAs focus on urgent and immediate needs, are action‐oriented, country‐driven and based on national circumstances. They also contain short profiles on priority adaptation activities designed to facilitate the development of proposals for implementation. Technology needs assessment under the Nairobi Work Programme (2006‐2010) can also provide a starting point‐ synthesis report 19 prepared by SBSTA on technologies for adaptation based on the submissions from Parties and relevant organizations. Once technologies have been identified, other steps are same as in case of mitigation, which include prioritization of technologies, barriers identification and analysis, development of an enabling framework, and preparation of TAP. The URC presentations are included in Appendix 5. Day 2: February 18, 2010 Mr Mark Radka in his introductory remarks on day 2 mentioned that technology transfer continues to be an interesting and very important part of discussions on climate change. There are no easy answers as to how to accelerate the deployment of appropriate technologies. This project is primarily about what governments can do to get technologies into the market place. He also mentioned that this project is to provide technical support by the UNEP and the process has been initiated to help the countries. The first round of TNA was not seen as a particular success. Money was provided as a stop‐
gap measure and little guidance was made available to the countries. In this new TNA round the countries are being assisted and the process is seen as a test case. 2.4 Summary of the Break‐Out groups Presentations Asia and Europe breakout group: The presentation was made by the group representative from Thailand. The group was concerned about the limited budget for the country activities. The methodology presentations were found useful by the group. On adaptation technologies it was stated that though adaptation is based on local circumstances yet there are cases where developed countries can help with certain technologies e.g., Japan has very good early warning systems (EWS) for typhoons. The suggestion was to engage developed countries with such technologies as partners in the project to facilitate North‐ South technology transfer for adaptation. For low carbon technologies, the project should facilitate flow of information from the developed countries. Project should also include Centres of Innovation in its scope. Latin America breakout group: In case of prioritization, there is no sectoral similarity between mitigation and adaptation with the focus of former on LULUCF, transport and energy , while the later focusing on health, food security, water for human consumption, agriculture and energy, flooding, and impacts on coastal areas. The group also looked at barriers and their importance to the countries in the group with political, cultural, financial and economic barriers emerging as the main barriers in the three countries. Economic incentives, benchmarking, regulatory framework and regional free trade agreements were considered important for development of an enabling framework for technology transfer. It 20 was stressed that action plan should be a participatory process (with regard to technical, political and environmentally feasibility), and should differentiate between needs and demands. The financial support through TNA project was considered vital to facilitate interaction between consultants and TNA country team (workshops, consultants and other expenses). On regional centres, it was felt that existing capacity is mostly on mitigation and capacity on adaptation may need to be developed. It was suggested that regional collaboration is promoted to maximize resources. Africa breakout group: The presenter from the African (francophone) group expressed a high degree of interest in the TNA project, but was concerned about the challenges in engaging representatives from ministries actively in the process of elaborating the TNA. It was stressed that high level government officials are generally very busy with other tasks, and consequently it was seen as a challenge to find a skilled high level coordinator, and high level civil servants who in practise would commit sufficient time to the project. It was proposed to engage private consultants as coordinators or to find solutions to encourage government officials to engage in the project. 2.5 Closing Remarks While summarising some of the important issues, Mark Radka pointed out that each country is unique and hence solutions for countries may vary. The approach specified here is generic and it will need to be modified to adapt to specific circumstances. Access to information is critical for countries and sharing information can benefit all. This is an important component of the project and platform such as Tech‐wiki and regional workshops will be useful for the information exchange. Adaptation technology is tricky, it is still evolving, and this will have to be kept in view. It has also been brought out during the workshop that for a project like this, it is important to think beyond ministry of environment. Finally, appropriate language is important to communicate to the relevant people. This should be figured out from the beginning and the process should keep the end goal in view. 2.6 Bilateral country/scoping mission planning As a part of the project design, the generic country work‐plan is to be discussed with the TNA team and stakeholders in every participating country with a view to tailor it to country needs within the overall project objectives. Country representatives and URC staff discussed the broad activities and tentative dates for the country missions were agreed (see Appendix 6). Dates for Costa Rica will be confirmed following the elections in April. URC will also discuss and agree on country mission dates and activities with Argentina by mid‐March. 21 Prior to each country mission, URC will prepare and circulate templates for country plans and contracts. These will be elaborated and finalized during the country missions for subsequent implementation.

The issues will be different from country to country, but we must recall, that the TNA has to address both mitigation and adaptation. Questions and Answers Bangladesh: What are the expectations for what can be achieved before Mexico? Are the countries like Bangladesh expected to catch up and be at the same level as others (who were in the first round of TNA)? BJ: No. We want to learn lessons from what was done in the earlier TNAs and do it better in this phase. We would hope to come to Mexico with a few good lessons and guiding principles, and show that things are progressing. Thailand: We suggest that we could put something on the table for the parties at Bonn in June. Such output could be useful for many countries. BJ: There are parallel tracks between the negotiations and the TNA activity. We do not foresee presenting anything at Bonn. Indonesia: Some countries are already submitting NAMAs, so maybe it’s not so difficult. Coordination between many different institutions is difficult and it’s not sure that all countries have national action plans. BJ: We must keep in mind that this TNA project has a 30 month time frame. We need to find a compromise between what is desirable and what is feasible. The objective is not to cover everything the countries need for the negotiations but rather to focus on developing a TAP of the highest quality, which should be concrete, considering a few relevant technologies in 24 detail, prioritising and defining how to remove barriers that prevent accelerated deployment of the technology. Bangladesh: We see barriers as being mainly external. Focussing on internal barriers distorts the process (leading to the TAP.) Mali: What are the objectives of the work between now and October? BJ: This is covered in the next part of the agenda. Guatemala: Technology Transfer is a pillar of the Bali Action Plan, but agreement could not be achieved by the end of COP15, and therefore we need to take this into account in future. Morocco: (question in French) Is this workshop the starting point for the TNA activity? BJ: Yes, it is confirmed that this Inception workshop is the first activity apart from the selection of countries. Morocco: What is meant by tangible facts by Mexico (COP16)? BJ: This is precisely what we wish to discuss later. How to implement is also important, though not included in the TAP. But since it would be realistic, it can be implemented relatively easily. Sylvie Lemmet (DTIE): What outcome is needed by COP 16 at Mexico has already been identified. We need a benchmark on where we stand today, referring to priority sectors and the institutional set‐up for rolling out technologies. Côte d’Ivoire: On a point of order, pointed out that not all were comfortable using English in the discussions and that translation in French should be provided. 25 Appendix 3: Countries Presentation Slides (Separately attached as files Appendix 3‐part 1 and Appendix 3‐part 2) 26 Appendix 4: Country Work‐plan and Milestones Work‐Plan Sl Activity No. 1. 2. 3. 2010 2011 Year
