2. Objectives
• speeding up the registration of the mature projects with the high potential of
GHG mitigation before the end up of Kyoto protocol period;
• enhancing RCREEE member states in :
- developing mitigation strategies,
- identifying a NAMA portfolio,
- supporting building capacity in the field of NAMAs,
- mobilizing specific financing for climate change,
- making the project developers familiar with the international
negotiations and encouraging them to benefit from specific funds
decided by Conferences of Copenhagen on 2009 and Cancun on 2010.

6. Mitigation opportunity in Libya
According to the EIA, Libya's carbon emissions increased by 24% from 1997 to 2007 and
the country’s energy-related emissions were estimated to be 55 MtCO2e in 2009.
The dominance of fossil fuel energy sources implies that there is an important mitigation
potential through the development of energy efficiency and renewable energy.

9. NAMAs opportunity in the region
The screening of NAMA potential in RCREEE member countries
shows that there is considerable opportunity for NAMA development
in the energy efficiency and renewable energy sectors.
The preliminary assessment identified several potential NAMA ideas,
three promising NAMA ideas for further development are suggested:
Tunisia - improvement of building insulation NAMA.
as a unilateral NAMA, with supported elements related to technical assistance
and capacity building.
Moroccan residential buildings energy efficiency NAMA.
as a comprehensive NAMA involving unilateral, supported and possibly
credited elements.
Egyptian renewable energy investment NAMA. as a comprehensive NAMA
involving unilateral, supported and credited elements, with the possibility
for conceptualising as a sectoral mechanism

10. Further steps
Discussion with stakeholders at workshop 17 November 2011
1/How to achieve registration before end 2012
- What kind of support do the projects need?
-Who could support the projects and how
2/Exchanging information and having feedback on suggested NAMA
-Review of NAMA ideas based on participants feedback
- Selection of 2 promising NAMAs for the region
What will be the recommendations to
Promoting the pilot NAMAs in RCREEE member states to international
cooperation to find financial support from the international institutions
like KFW, the World Bank, the African Development Bank…
