The document discusses the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and its efforts to reduce short-lived climate pollutants like methane, black carbon, and HFCs. It launched in 2012 with 7 founding partners and has since grown to include 20 states and 17 non-state partners. The CCAC has initiated 7 projects focused on reducing emissions from sectors like oil and gas, waste, and heavy-duty vehicles. Specifically, the oil and gas initiative aims to collaborate with companies to reduce venting, leakage, and flaring in operations worldwide by building on programs like Natural Gas STAR and the Global Methane Initiative. The CCAC seeks to further scale up these efforts and recruit more partners and countries to the coalition.

'Low Carbon Growth Plans: Advancing Good Practice' is a working paper which reviews recent low-carbon growth plans put forward by countries to drive domestic mitigation and adaptation action and highlights the lessons learned from this experience.
The NSW Government is committed to maintaining a strong
economy, improving the quality of life for the people of NSW
and protecting the environment.
That’s why the NSW Government’s objective is to achieve net zero
emissions by 2050 by creating new jobs, cutting household costs and
attracting investment.
This Net Zero Plan Stage 1: 2020–2030 (Plan) sets out how the NSW
Government will deliver on these objectives over the next decade.
The Plan is focused on the next decade because rapid changes in
technology make identifying the lowest cost path to net zero difficult.
Plans for the second and third decades of the net zero path will be
developed in the lead-up to the 2030s and 2040s respectively.
The purpose of the Plan is to give NSW families and communities
confidence that the challenges posed by climate change can be
solved by improving – not eroding – their prosperity. It will also
send a clear message to local and international investors that New
South Wales is open for business when it comes to delivering on our
economic, social and environmental ambitions.
The Plan is financially supported by a Bilateral Memorandum of
Understanding on Energy and Emissions Reduction Policy between
the Commonwealth and NSW Governments (Bilateral).
The Plan is set out in four parts:
1. A global challenge with local opportunities – the trends and
opportunities arising from global climate change action
2. Progress and projections – progress within New South Wales
to date to reduce emissions and future projections
3. The net zero priorities – the NSW Government’s net zero
priorities
4. Keeping track – the Government’s approach to keeping track
of its progress.
This presentation is about Clean Development Mechanism and focus is on power sector. key aspects covered are CDM world statistics, Indian scenario, CER prices, CDM project management, etc.
The first in a series of two, this presentation focuses on understanding the scope, science, and politics of the nature-based solutions discourse in the international arena and propose ways forward.

This presentation is for interested members of the public including investors, NGO's, and educators.
I chose to focus on the use of disclosure reporting and ranking as market mechanisms because I believe there's untapped potential in the pursuit of significant behavioral change for carbon reduction.
Social science research indicates that accountability reporting and transparency initiatives can impact on corporate behavior due to their concerns with reputational gains and losses.
There are many carbon reporting systems and indexes being developed. It is important to view these initiatives critically to ensure that they meet both science-based targets and social equity principles.

1. The Climate and Clean Air Coalition
and its first actions, and Oil and Gas
Sector Activities
Andrew Eil, U.S. Department of State
Latin American & Caribbean Regional
Meeting on SLCPs
Bogota, Colombia, November 1, 2012
2. Presentation Key Topics
1. Background information on the Climate and
Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived
Climate Pollutants (CCAC)
2. Relevant oil & gas sector activities in the
Latin America region (CCAC, Global Methane
Initiative, Natural Gas Star International,
Global Gas Flaring Reduction)
3. Oil & gas sector activities of the CCAC
3. Origin of the Coalition
• Many countries and organizations concerned with
impacts of short-lived climate pollutants & have pursued
mitigation:
– Global Methane Initiative
– Montreal Protocol’s Multilateral Fund favors climate-friendly
solutions
– Arctic Council: Arctic impacts of black carbon and methane
– UNEP integrated assessment and synthesis reports, 2011
• Many scientific and policy reports in recent years have
heightened this concern
• Need seen for a Coalition to voluntarily work with
interested countries, companies and other stakeholders,
to leverage high-level political will, and to scale-up
existing actions and make major reductions
4. Launch of the Coalition
February 16, 2012, Washington, D.C.
5. DMT1
The Coalition’s progress
• Increased from 7 founding partners to 20 states
and 17 non-state partners
• 7 initiatives launched
• Formal launch of the UNEP Secretariat in Paris
• Creation of Science Advisory Panel to help ensure
Coalition guided by science
• Initial meetings in Stockholm, 23-24 April, and
Paris, 23-24 July
• Personal participation by ministers, including
several events by Secretary Clinton
6. Slide 5
DMT1 Good to stress Colombian leadership especially and make reference that several other Latin American countries have observed and/or are
activley considering joining.
TurkDM, 30/10/2012
7. CCAC Initiatives
• Initial priorities of the Coalition’s work; not meant to be limiting
• Cover reductions of all three core pollutants: methane, black
carbon (BC), & HFCs; focus on quick, low-cost impacts & scalability
• BC from diesel vehicles and engines
• BC brick production (kilns)
• SLCPs from municipal solid waste, landfills
• HFC alternative technology and standards
• Methane from oil & natural gas production
• Agreed by all partners and approved by ministers
• All focal areas led by one or more partners
• Scaling up existing initiatives; additional initiatives proposed
13. CCAC Oil & Gas Initiative:
The Opportunity
• The initiative focused on oil and gas seeks to work
collaboratively with companies to reduce venting, leakage,
and flaring of natural gas from operations worldwide.
• Oil and gas operations are the second-largest source of global
anthropogenic methane emissions behind agriculture: 20% of
all methane, or about 1.2-1.6 billion metric tons CO2eq.
• An estimated 8 percent of total worldwide natural gas
production is lost due to venting, leakage and flaring.
• Emissions result in almost two gigatons of CO2e annually and
represent U.S. $27 to $63 billion in lost revenues.
• Flaring also releases substantial amounts of black carbon,
which is particularly harmful to human health and areas like
the Arctic.
14. Natural Gas STAR Program
• Started in U.S. in 1993, expanded internationally in 2006
• Over 120 domestic and 14 international partners have
– Identified over 60 cost effective technologies and practices to reduce methane
emissions
– Reduced methane emissions by nearly 1,100 Bcf (30 Bcm), saving over $3
billion(US)
13
15. Natural Gas STAR, Global Methane Initiative
Resources
• Resources to advance cost-effective oil & gas
sector methane emission reductions:
– General technology transfer, training, and capacity
building
• Technical documents and research outlining over 60
mitigation options, including analyses of economic,
environmental and operational benefits
• Workshops and Conferences
– Individual assistance to help companies identify and
assess project opportunities
• Estimated methane emission inventories
• Measurement studies
• Mitigation project feasibility studies
• Technical documents available online:
– http://www.epa.gov/gasstar/tools/recommended.html
• Oil & gas subcommittee includes delegates from
LAC countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.
14
16. Natural Gas STAR, Global Methane Initiative
Activities in Latin America
• Pre-feasibility studies, workshops, and measurement studies
– Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Brazil
• Presented paper “The Importance of Addressing Methane
Emissions as Part of a Comprehensive Greenhouse Gas
Management Strategy “ at the Rio Oil and Gas Expo and
Conference in September
• Study tours of U.S. operations with successful methane
reduction projects
– Included representatives from Colombia and Argentina
• Holding a workshop with the Colombian Ministry of Mines and
Energy November 19
– “Benefits of the Global Methane Initiative and Methane Emission
Reductions in the Colombian Oil and Gas Sector”
– http://www.globalmethane.org/news-
events/event_detailsByEventId.aspx?eventId=401

17. Global Gas Flaring Reduction (GGFR)
Public-Private Partnership
• Launched at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in
August 2002
• Brings together 20 governments of oil-producing countries, state-
owned companies and major international oil companies to
overcome the barriers to reducing gas flaring by sharing global best
practices and implementing country specific programs.
• Led by the World Bank
• Facilitates and supports national efforts to use currently flared gas
by promoting effective regulatory frameworks and tackling the
constraints on gas utilization, particularly in developing countries.
• Poverty reduction is also an integral part of the GGFR program.
• LAC-engaged members of GGFR include Ecuador; BP, Chevron, ENI,
ExxonMobil, Marathon, NorskHydro, Shell, Statoil, Total; OPEC
Secretariat, and the World Bank.
18. Goals of Oil & Gas Initiative
• The Coalition aims to help companies accelerate and
expand voluntary emission reductions where there are
cost-effective opportunities to do so, and to showcase
progress by companies that are already taking significant
action.
• This effort will build upon and scale-up the achievements of
the Natural Gas STAR International Program, the Global
Methane Initiative, and the Global Gas Flaring Reduction
Partnership.
• While recognizing that existing efforts are making progress,
additional opportunities exist to increase the volume of
hydrocarbons going to productive use, improve operational
efficiencies, and lead to substantial climate and health
benefits.
19. Other CCAC initiatives & activities
• National Action Plans: UNEP and Mexico leading
• Finance: UNEP working with the World Bank
• Outreach & awareness raising activities: led by UNEP,
Sweden, and the United States
– Launch event for outreach efforts on June 3 in Sweden
– Many events in Rio de Janeiro at Rio +20, including with
former U.S. President Clinton
– CCAC website ( www.unep.org/CCAC )
– Regional workshops in Africa, Latin America, and Asia
• Rapid Benefits Assessment Tool: U.S. EPA developing
an analytical tool to quantify health, climate, and other
benefits of methane and BC emissions reduction
20. Next Steps
• Scaling-up of initiatives and key activities
• High-profile events to recognize leading
companies and other stakeholders
• Recruiting and engaging new partners,
including private sector and civil society
• Awareness raising and outreach
• Science Advisory Panel actively engaged
21. Concluding Thoughts
• There is ample opportunity to reduce methane and
black carbon emissions from oil & gas production in
Latin America
• There are a number of ongoing initiatives and
programs in the region, on which the CCAC hopes to
build, including the GMI and many others
• The Coalition is eager to engage with countries and
other interested stakeholders in the LAC region,
including in existing and new initiatives
• The Coalition encourages and seeks to support
national, regional and global-level coordination and
collaboration to reduce SLCPs, and solicits your input
