Parallel Session IVb: Identification and financing of green projects: is climate change budget tagging the panacea for enticing climate finance and reducing GHG emissions in developing countries?
The IPAC program was launched in May 2021 to support countries' efforts to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and climate resilience by mid-century. It will monitor countries' climate actions, evaluate policies, and share best practices. The program will cover OECD members and selected partner countries. It will advise on climate indicators, provide guidance on their use and interpretation, and identify measurement priorities. The preliminary IPAC dashboard includes indicators on emissions trends and targets, climate actions and opportunities, and climate impacts and risks. The program will further develop indicators, issue country reports, and establish an interactive platform for mutual learning on climate policy.
World Resources Institute hosted a launch event on 21 November 2014 for two new Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standards to inform government climate change strategies.
Building on previous GHG Protocol standards, the Policy and Action Standard helps evaluate the effectiveness of specific policies or measures in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions, empowering policymakers and analysts to better assess and communicate their progress. The Mitigation Goal Standard takes a bigger picture view, enabling governments to determine their emissions trajectory and whether their policy portfolio aligns with reaching their climate goals. Both standards are applicable for all levels of government.

OECD Green Talks LIVE: Moving the world economy to net zero: the role of tran...OECD Environment
To meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, decarbonisation measures will need to be financed across all sectors of the economy — most importantly in energy-intensive and hard-to-abate sectors in emerging markets and developing economies. As governments and the private sector ramp up their net-zero pledges, grapple with the ongoing energy crisis and face rising inflation, how to achieve those goals is increasingly put into question.
In the midst of these challenges, market actors and jurisdictions have ramped up efforts around transition finance, such as developing taxonomies and guidelines. But transition finance is often criticised for opening the door to greenwashing and risking emission-intensive lock-in. How can we ensure the development of robust corporate transition plans to support credible and meaningful transition investments towards net zero? And how can emission-intensive lock-in and greenwashing be avoided?
Experts on transition finance and transition planning will present and discuss their importance for moving to net-zero pathways in hard-to-abate sectors and emerging markets and developing economies, as well as outstanding challenges in this space. The presentation will draw from the recent report OECD Guidance on Transition Finance: Ensuring Credibility of Corporate Climate Transition Plans (Find the report here: https://oe.cd/transition-fin), which proposes 10 key elements to help corporates in developing transition plans, financiers to identify credible investment opportunities, and policymakers to develop strong policy frameworks.

National Adaptation Plans Thailand - Examples of MCA application in various c...UNDP Climate
So far, two UNDP-hosted workshops (June and October 2017) – attended by over 70 officials from departments under MoAC – have focused on prioritization for adaptation planning, using multi-criteria analysis (MCA); and developing a preliminary screening system for ranking and fine-tuning ongoing climate-sensitive projects and programmes.
The workshop in June focused on providing an overview of MCA as a tool to priority actions. Participants gained a better appreciation of the process and key steps involved, as well as its strengths and limitations in the context of climate adaptation planning. Feedback and key insights were also gained by MOAC on how MCA could be used in the context of implementing Thailand’s new sectoral climate change strategy (ACCSP).
In a follow-up workshop in October, participants learned the key steps to apply tools and methods in the context of their work.
After identifying key areas from the revised five-year Agricultural Climate Change Strategic Plan 2017-2021, MoAC’s is enhancing its capacity with the support of the NAP-Ag programme to to prioritize these activities, which will be funded under the Ministry’s annual budgetary cycle and put forward to international climate funds.
This module discusses measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation monitoring and evaluation. It provides an overview of UNFCCC requirements for MRV of emissions and actions, and examines existing guidance for evaluating adaptation efforts. Case studies demonstrate how countries can establish MRV systems for agriculture by developing tier 2 emissions calculations that reflect national circumstances and track impacts of interventions over time. The module also explores challenges in evaluating progress on adaptation due to its multi-dimensional nature and lack of standardized metrics, and presents resources that provide guidance on adaptation indicators and monitoring systems.

Vietnam has significant experience with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and sees opportunities for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) to help address some of the issues experienced with CDM. JCM could facilitate low-carbon technology transfer by using eligibility criteria instead of additionality assessments and having a shorter, more flexible approval process. The energy, agriculture, land use and forestry sectors in Vietnam offer many options for low-carbon projects under JCM, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, improved cookstoves, and forestation.

New Challenges for the Evaluation Community: timely responses in times of urgency
1) The document discusses new challenges for the evaluation community given the urgent need for action on issues like climate change and biodiversity loss.
2) It argues that evaluation needs to move beyond just examining whether past policies worked and instead support systemic change and transitions to sustainability.
3) Evaluation should be integrated into the policy process and consider long time frames given the slow pace of transitions and risk of lock-in to unsustainable paths.
"Business as usual" baselines: Challenges for tracking NDCs by Andrew PragOECD Environment
The document discusses the challenges of tracking progress towards climate change targets that are expressed as reductions from "business as usual" baselines. Nearly half of countries' intended nationally determined contributions rely on business as usual baselines, but there is no agreed definition or process for setting these baselines. Baseline projections can vary significantly depending on modeling techniques, assumptions, and circumstances. More transparency is needed around countries' baseline scenarios in order to properly assess expected global emissions levels and track overall progress towards climate goals.

Building Institutional Capacity in Thailand to Design and Implement Climate P...UNDP Climate
23-25 November 2016, Thailand - A centerpiece of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Programme (NAP-Ag) in Thailand is its support to develop a new five-year Strategy on Climate Change in Agriculture (2017-2021). This is spearheaded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) and its Office of Agriculture Economics (OAE). The strategy was unveiled after a series of meetings by a Technical Working Group at a three-day workshop held on 23-25 November 2016 in Bangkok, organized by UNDP.
Over 60 participants from each MOAC line department and 10 participants from academia and civil society were briefed by the Office of the Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP) and GIZ on the status of the National Adaption Plan (NAP) and learned how NAP-Ag programme efforts could support a broader NAP process and align with the Sector Plan. The new strategy focuses on improving evidence and data for informing policy choices, building the capacity of farmers and agri-businesses to adapt, promoting low-carbon development and productivity growth in the sector, and building institutional and managerial capacities to cope with climate change impacts.
The document provides an analysis of policy and technology options that can help ASEAN countries achieve their greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets under the Paris Agreement. It finds that while the ASEAN region is making progress toward its Paris goals, additional action is still needed. Specifically:
- Under unconditional targets, the ASEAN region faces an emissions gap of around 400 MtCO2e by 2030, requiring an 11% reduction from current projections. Under conditional targets, the gap is around 900 MtCO2e, requiring a 24% reduction.
- Policy options like carbon pricing and support for natural gas and renewables can help close these gaps cost-effectively. Electricity market reforms to integrate more renewables are also important.

Is LCA ready to answer the growing request of sustainability metrics?PaoloMasoni2
The keynote discusses the growing demand for reliable sustainability metrics in various policy areas like the European Green Deal and Sustainable Finance. It summarizes developments in LCA methodology and standards but notes the urgency of requests may not be fully aligned with current progress. While LCA is scientifically sound, it is sometimes seen as too complex; widespread use will require simplification as well as data and capacity building. The ORIENTING project aims to advance sustainability footprinting methods in response to these needs.
1) The document discusses a public-private roundtable on developing green hydrogen production in Mongolia for sustainable infrastructure.
2) Mongolia has opportunities to develop green hydrogen from its renewable energy potential but faces challenges around infrastructure, technology, and ensuring additionality of emissions reductions.
3) The roundtable aims to increase knowledge of green hydrogen projects in Mongolia, relevant policies, international experience, opportunities and challenges, and establish an ongoing public-private dialogue on developing a vision for a green hydrogen sector.
The OECD developed a composite indicator to identify green budgeting practices across 14 OECD countries. The indicator assessed countries based on 4 building blocks: strategic framework, tools and methods, accountability and transparency, and enabling environment. Most countries have some practices in place, like strategic plans, environmental impact assessments, and training programs. The OECD will refine the indicator based on country feedback and update it annually to track the evolution of green budgeting over time. The indicator aims to help countries learn from each other's approaches and advance green budgeting.

Innovazioni e problematiche di misura connesse alla sostenibilità e per il monitoraggio degli SDGs
A cinque anni dall’approvazione dell’Agenda 2030 e dei relativi Target, gli SDGs hanno assunto un peso sempre maggiore nelle politiche sovranazionali e nazionali, basti ricordare gli indirizzi della nuova Commissione UE. Per il nostro Paese è da sottolineare l’importanza della definizione della Strategia per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile a livello Nazionale e Regionale, che preveda anche il monitoraggio delle azioni attivate. Alla luce di questa evoluzione, si ritiene opportuno focalizzare l’attenzione sulla capacità di misurare l’evoluzione dei diversi aspetti connessi agli Obiettivi dell’Agenda 2030. A tal fine l'Istat produce annualmente due aggiornamenti del sistema di indicatori utili al monitoraggio degli SDGs per l'Italia. L’evento, organizzato da ASviS e Istat, è l’occasione per fare il punto sul monitoraggio degli indicatori e per presentare le innovazioni e le problematiche che si sono riscontrate nello sviluppare tali attività.
Conceptual framework for evaluating multiple benefits from energy efficiencyLeonardo ENERGY
The International Energy Agency (IEA) launched their recent publication, “Capturing the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency,” at IEPPEC in Berlin (September 2014). Following the launch of the publication, the IEA and IEPPEC have collaborated to explore and address the evaluation process relating to these multiple impacts/ benefits. This webinar will cover one focus area of that collaboration – i.e., the development of a conceptual framework aimed to provide some guidance regarding the evaluation process of these multiple benefits/impacts within the scope of an energy efficiency programme or policy. This webinar will provide an overview of the draft framework as well as an early opportunity for researchers and evaluators to offer feedback prior to more in-depth discussion with a panel at this year’s IEPPEC June 7-9 in Amsterdam.
Thailand UNDP-GIZ workshop on CBA - A review of conduction cost-benefit analysisUNDP Climate
Thailand, 27-28 November 2017 - UNDP and GIZ partnered with the Thailand Office of Agriculture Economics (OAE) to launch a workshop designed to connect vital stakeholders to build an effective National Adaptation Plan.
The two-day workshop at the Rama Garden Hotel had 20 participants from each department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC). The workshop was designed to build capacity of planning officers to formulate better projects and budget submissions as well as potential climate finance proposal using cost-benefit analysis and ecosystem-based analysis appraisal tools.
1) The document summarizes the OECD guidance on transition finance, which aims to ensure the credibility of corporate climate transition plans. It outlines key challenges in transition finance and elements that make transition plans credible.
2) Over half of global greenhouse gas emissions come from energy and industry. Transition finance is mainly provided through sustainability-linked bonds and loans to help companies implement net-zero plans.
3) Credible transition plans should set science-based net-zero targets, outline strategies to meet interim goals, and integrate climate metrics into financial reporting to ensure accountability.
Carbon footprint and reduction strategies for global fund grantsUNDP Eurasia
1) The document summarizes strategies for measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of Global Fund grants. It discusses measuring emissions from activities like transportation and health facilities, and integrating reduction targets into grant-making.
2) Case studies show potential reductions from using efficient vehicles, renewable energy at clinics, and obtaining supply chain emissions data. A carbon footprint tool is proposed to track emissions from grant activities.
3) Based on estimated historical disbursements and carbon intensities by disease, the Global Fund's annual carbon pollution is roughly 6.5 million tonnes of CO2e, with a social cost of $194 million per year in climate change damages from current spending levels.
Team 2 DDM Presentation about data driven decision makingRahatulAshafeen
This document summarizes a regression analysis of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from 2017 to 2020. The analysis identified key factors influencing CO2 emissions, including energy consumption, vehicle production, population, and GDP. Energy consumption and vehicle production had the strongest correlations with CO2 emissions. Regression models for each year found energy consumption and vehicle production were significant predictors of CO2 emissions, while the relationship between GDP and emissions was inverse. The analysis suggests promoting renewable energy and green transportation options to reduce CO2 emissions.
OECD Presentation: Aligning Policies for Mobilising Green Finance in KazakhstanOECD Environment
The document discusses aligning policies in Kazakhstan to mobilize green finance and achieve its climate goals. It notes Kazakhstan's ambition to reduce GHG emissions by 15-25% by 2030 but that further policies are needed to achieve this. It provides examples of Kazakhstan's existing climate policies and suggests assessing policy coherence across sectors to scale up green investment and transition from brown to green infrastructure in line with its green economy and climate targets. Next steps proposed include developing a framework to diagnose policy misalignments and prioritize corrective actions.
This document discusses Thailand's plans and actions to mitigate climate change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It provides background on climate change data and international agreements like the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement. Thailand has pledged to reduce emissions 7-20% below business as usual by 2020 and 20-25% by 2030, using renewable energy, energy efficiency and other measures. The document outlines Thailand's emissions trading schemes, including the voluntary T-VER and T-VETS programs to generate carbon credits and pilot cap-and-trade for industries. It aims to test measurement, reporting, verification and carbon market frameworks to support achieving Thailand's emission reduction targets.
Opening Session - Scene-setting Presentation by Korean Ambassador to the OECD...OECD Environment
- The document discusses innovation for green growth and sustainable development.
- It outlines Korea's national green growth strategy and policy framework, including its two 5-year green growth plans, to establish institutions and create actual green innovation outcomes through creativity and public-private partnerships.
- Examples of Korea's green innovation initiatives include the Innovation Center public-private platform supporting green startups, and eco-friendly energy towns collaborating across central/local government and companies to utilize wastes and renewables.
This document discusses the socioeconomic challenges and potential for hydrogen (H2) production in West Africa. It provides background on West Africa's economic development strategies since the 1950s, which have shifted from industry-led growth to agriculture-led growth and poverty reduction. Charts show current electricity production, access, and renewable energy capacity in the ECOWAS region are still relatively low. The document forecasts significant growth in renewable energy generation capacity through 2030, which could enable production of green hydrogen in the region at an affordable price of under $1.5/kg by 2040. In conclusion, it presents on the technical potential for green hydrogen production in West Africa.
The document summarizes the key discussions and conclusions from the 2023 ReSAKSS Annual Conference. Some of the main points discussed include:
1) The need for quality data and integrated data systems to inform decision-making and track progress on food system transformation.
2) Challenges in achieving CAADP/Malabo targets and setting priorities for the post-Malabo agenda given legacy issues and new challenges.
3) Emerging themes that should be research focus areas, such as nutrition-smart pathways, food safety, climate adaptation economics, and gender transformation.

This document discusses the socioeconomic challenges and potential for hydrogen (H2) production in West Africa. It provides background on West Africa's economic development strategies since the 1950s, which have shifted from industry-led growth to agriculture-led growth and poverty reduction. Charts show current electricity production, access, and renewable energy capacity in the ECOWAS region are still relatively low. The document forecasts significant growth in renewable energy generation capacity through 2030, which could enable production of green hydrogen in the region at an affordable price of under $1.5/kg by 2040. In conclusion, it presents on the technical potential for green hydrogen production in West Africa.
The document summarizes the key discussions and conclusions from the 2023 ReSAKSS Annual Conference. Some of the main points discussed include:

- The Biennial Review assesses progress on 7 commitments in the Malabo Declaration through a scoring system, with the first 3 Reviews showing limited countries on track to meet 2025 goals.
- Challenges include capacity gaps, timeliness of data collection and analysis, resource constraints, and ensuring country ownership. Data quality is also an issue with inconsistencies, missing values, and discrepancies.
- Lessons include the need to strengthen capacity, expertise, collaboration, and knowledge exchange between
Mr. Wondwosen Tefera - 2023 ReSAKSS Conference.pptxAKADEMIYA2063
This document summarizes progress on key CAADP indicators based on data from ReSAKSS. It finds that while some indicators like agricultural GDP and intra-African agricultural trade have increased steadily, most of Africa remains below the CAADP targets of 6% annual agricultural growth and 10% of government expenditure going to agriculture. Progress has also slowed or reversed on indicators like undernourishment prevalence and poverty levels in recent years. It concludes Africa must improve agricultural productivity and efficiency, boost value-added intra-African trade under AfCFTA, and allocate government agriculture expenditures based on evidence to achieve the CAADP goals.

This document discusses food safety challenges in Africa and the need for a paradigm shift. Key points:
1. Africa's food safety system faces many challenges like poor investment, fragmented management, and inadequate infrastructure, undermining food system transformation and posing public health and market access issues.
2. Recent policies prioritize food safety, but more transformative actions are needed to strengthen capacities like risk assessment, addressing the large informal sector, workforce development, and sustainable financing models.
3. The document outlines some paradigm shifts underway, including a "shared responsibility" approach, developing a food safety data hub, expanding standards to the informal sector, and strengthening technical training programs. With continued progress in these areas, Africa's food safety
Dr. Fleur Wouterse - 2023 ReSAKSS Conference.pptxAKADEMIYA2063
This document discusses the economic impacts of climate change on food systems in Africa. It finds that climate extremes are the second leading cause of food insecurity in Africa, after conflict. Future warming is projected to reduce yields for staple crops across most of Africa. The food system is failing to provide food security. To build resilient food systems, countries are looking to mainstream climate risk and adaptation. The economic effects of climate change are substantial, with reductions in GDP projected for Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, and Senegal by 2050. Climate-smart agriculture could help mitigate these economic impacts if widely adopted. However, significant investments are needed to equip land with soil/water conservation and improved seeds. Adaptation also requires building farmers'

The document discusses the potential for bioeconomy to transform African food systems in a sustainable way. It outlines several gaps currently inhibiting Africa's bioeconomy, including:
1) Marginal research focus and lack of technology transfer in bioeconomy fields.
2) Production gaps like low yields, management issues, and infrastructure shortcomings facing smallholder farmers.
3) Post-production gaps such as inadequate storage, high post-harvest losses, reliance on unsustainable materials, and underperformance in processing.
It also reviews regional bioeconomy plans and policies across Africa and calls for a unified continental strategy, more STEM education and skills training, increased funding, and collaboration across sectors to fully realize bio
Dr. Agnes Quisumbing - 2023 ReSAKSS ConferenceAKADEMIYA2063
Senior Research Fellow at IFPRI Agnes Quisumbing discusses gender and food systems transformation. She notes that approximately 1.23 billion people are involved in agrifood systems globally, with most jobs in developing countries in these systems. However, structural gender inequalities exist that compound other inequalities like poverty. While some changes to food systems can increase inequalities, interventions may promote gender equity if designed well. Evidence shows increasing women's empowerment through various measures can contribute to improved food security and economic outcomes, though context is important. Certain projects aiming to empower women in agriculture have shown success by addressing underlying gender norms and involving women's groups and other community members.

The document summarizes a presentation on food system diagnostics and policy implications in Malawi. It discusses how food system diagnostics were conducted in Malawi to assess components, challenges, and policy gaps. The diagnostics identified that Malawi's food system faces issues like high levels of food insecurity, limited dietary diversity, and low agricultural productivity. It was found that policies focus more on production than other areas. The diagnostics provide evidence to inform policies that pursue a holistic food systems approach to improve nutrition, reduce food loss, and promote regional trade integration in Malawi. Lessons highlight the importance of resources, tools, stakeholder engagement and data to effectively conduct food system diagnostics.
Committing to Transform Food Systems: Responsiveness of pledges by African governments to the WHO Priority Food Systems Policies and select CAADP Biennial Review Indicators
This document provides a recap of Day 1 and the program for Day 2 of the 2023 ReSAKSS conference. Day 1 included side events on climate change and data analytics in African food systems. There were presentations on the conference objectives, an overview of the 2023 ATOR report, and a panel discussion on the CAADP experience. Day 2's program includes presentations and discussions on tracking progress under Malabo, approaches to accelerating food systems transformation, and emerging themes.

This document discusses using machine learning and earth observation data to map crops in Rwanda and Senegal. Satellite sensors collect data across electromagnetic spectra that is used to calculate indices like NDVI. Machine learning models like random forest classifiers are trained on this data paired with ground truth crop locations to classify pixels as different crop types. The models were able to accurately map maize fields in Rwanda and groundnut fields in Senegal. With more training data, this approach could map crops across entire countries to help monitor food production systems.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

3. #2023 AGRODEP CONFERENCE
Introduction
• Climate change has unanimously become the new global challenge
• Developing countries that rely on climate-sensitive sectors will be the worst affected (Lalthapersad-
Pillay & Udjo, 2014 and World Bank, 2010)
• There has been increased interest in green recovery (UNDP, 2021 & Agrawala et al., 2020)
• However, effort to take climate action in developing countries has remained subdued due to limited
resources (UN, 2019)
• Failure to attract climate finance due to the identification problem (Ankomah et al., 2015)
• Climate related projects are not clearly separated from the usual developmental projects
• The initiative by the World Bank and UN to redefine the budgeting process (CBT program)
• Climate budget tagging is a government-led process to identify, measure and monitor climate-related
project expenditures (World Bank, 2012).
• One of its objective is to separate climate related projects and expenditures from usual developmental
projects for easier identification (use of the Rio climate change markers) to attract climate finance
4. #2023 AGRODEP CONFERENCE
Research issue and objectives
• Subdued uptake of the CBT program in developing countries despite difficulties in climate resource
mobilisation
• For instance, only a handful of African countries, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda, began to
implement climate change budget tagging
• About 7 of the 19 countries implementing CBT were from Asia in 2019
• Countries usually adopt these programmes based on perceived benefits
• Yet, no evaluation has been done to assess the impact of CBT on climate finance mobilisation and
emissions reduction in these resource-constraint countries
• The main objective of this study is therefore to evaluate the impact of climate change budget
tagging on mobilization of external climate finance and GHG emissions
• Measuring the impact does not only demonstrate intervention success or failure, but it also
provides accountability to funders and beneficiaries (World Bank, 2015)

Conclusion
• CBT can be used as a useful tool for climate finance mobilisation in developing countries.
• The results show significant benefits of CBT in enticing climate related development
finance.
• The other conclusion from the findings is that it is not in all countries that CBT reduces
CO2 emissions (country-specific) – the need to identify more effective sectors for
targeting.
• The findings are however indicative only – the sample size is still small despite improved
efficiency from panel data.
• Processing of the results to be continued as more observations trickle in with time.
