PLANNING AND FACILITATING A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PROCESS Alajuela (Costa Rica), November12th, 2012 Karen Silverwood-Cope Ministry of Environment Secretariat for Climate Change and Environmental Quality PRESENTATION OUTLINE A National Climate Change Policy (Climate Policy) B. Stakeholders in Climate Policy C. Climate Policy Implementation Processes D. Lessons Learned A. NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY Approved by National Congress during COP-15 (Dec. 2009) • Reduction target between 36.1 and 38.9% in relation to the baseline projected to 2020. – Baseline uses preliminary data from the Second National Emissions Inventory – 2010 (reference year 2005). • Establishes Sectoral Mitigation and Adaptation Plans. • Main instruments: • National Climate Change Plan • National Climate Change Fund • To be established: National Carbon Market A. NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY Brazilian Voluntary Mitigation Targets B. STAKEHOLDERS IN CLIMATE POLICY B. STAKEHOLDERS IN CLIMATE POLICY Members of the Climate Change Executive Group: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Ministry of Environment Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry of Mining and Energy Ministry of Development, Industry and Commerce Ministry of the Cities Ministry of Transportation Ministry of Health Ministry of Agriculture Ministry of Smallholders Agriculture Fisheries Ministry Finance Ministry Foreign Ministry Brazilian Climate Change Forum (Representation of Civil Society) B. STAKEHOLDERS IN CLIMATE POLICY Decision Making Process: C. CLIMATE POLICY IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES The National Climate Change Policy comprises mitigation and adaptation actions represented on the following Sectoral Plans: •Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon and Cerrado (PPCDAM & PPCerrado: MMA/Casa Civil) • Ten Year Energy Plan (PDE 2009-2018: MME) • Low Carbon Agriculture Plan (MAPA & MDA) • Steel Industry and Charcoal Plan • Plan for the Consolidation of a Low Carbon Economy in Transformation Industry (MDIC) • Low Emissions Mining Plan (MME) • Regional Transportation and Urban Mobility Plan (MT & MCid) • Health Services Plan for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change (MS) 8 C. CLIMATE POLICY IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES 2010 - First Sectoral Mitigation Plans in place: Low Carbon Agriculture(Plano ABC), Energy (PDE), Renewable Charcoal to Steal, Combat of Deforestation in Amazon and Cerrado Biomes (PPCDAm and PPCerrado). 2012 - New Sectoral Mitigation and Adaptation Plans in place: Mining, Health, Transport and Urban Mobility and Transformation Industry 2012 - Review of National Plan of Climate Change (conclusion date: 2013) 2013 - Policy Harmonization with State’s Climate Change Plans C. CLIMATE POLICY IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES Climate Policy Cycle: implementation • Consolidation of an efficient Informational System. • Establishment of tools to Measure, Reporte Verify GHG emissions. • Monitoring of Greenhouse Gases Emissions (GHG) of mitigation actions proposed in the Sectoral Plans. • Annual Assessment (responsible: MMA) of Greenhouse Gases • National Emissions Inventory (responsible: MCTI) Emissions C. CLIMATE POLICY IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES Harmonization Of Intergovernmental Climate Change Policies High Diversity in Climate Change Policies at the Federal Entities: • 17 Brazilian States with Climate Change Legislation:(AM, BA, CE, ES,GO, MA, MT, MG, PA, PR, PE, PI, RJ, RS, SC, SP, TO) • 2 States already have mitigation targets (SP e PB) • Establishment of Emissions Inventories in 5 States (BA, PR, SP, MG, RJ) and 10 municipalities (Curitiba, BH, Betim, Goiânia, Palmas, Porto Alegre, RJ, SP, Volta Redonda and Irati) Need to Harmonize National and State Climate Change Policies: • Unification of Public Emissions Registries • Harmonization of Targets, Emissions Inventory, Sectoral Regulations, Carbon Pricing Instruments, Finance Sources and Incentives D. LESSONS LEARNED Success Factors: Define clear responsibilities and duties among agencies. Keep regular and frequent meetings Distribute tasks among agencies Understand and support different Institutional Capabilities of each Agency Play political and managerial leadership: facilitation, Mediation, Articulation and Animation Take action on conflict management Establish trustful relations D. LESSONS LEARNED Challenges: Potential for Institutional Conflicts between stakeholders due to many aspects: Wide difference in Stakeholders resources, capabilities and also priorities. Weak sanctions for failing to comply with climate regulations. Complex decision-making process To provide timely information on policy implementation To apply up to date management tools D. LESSONS LEARNED Future Challenges: • Consolidate an efficient Management System for the National Climate Change Policy, considering it’s descentralized implementation. • Promote effective integration with the Subnational Entities and Civil Society. • Realize Synergies between the National Climate Change Plan and Sectoral Adaptation and Mitigation Plans. 14 +55.61.2028 2240 [email protected] Thank you!
