Takeshi Kuramochi of NewClimate Institute presents at COP 21 on "Progress towards good practice policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions". Tuesday, 1 December, 18.30, EU Pavilion, Room Luxemburg.
The preparation for the new international climate agreement has advanced national policy making even before the agreement is adopted. NewClimate Institute assessed the extent to which preparation of intended nationally determined contributions has catalyzed enhanced national climate change mitigation capacity and action. Results showed that preparation increased priority of climate change, mainstreaming in sectoral plans, and inter-ministerial coordination. However, challenges remain in assessing technical options, impacts, and finance needs.
This document compares countries' climate action plans and policies using multiple approaches:
1) Comparing emission reduction targets to macroeconomic indicators and calculations of countries' fair share of emission reductions.
2) Assessing countries' policies across sectors like power, industry, transport, and agriculture against best practice policies.
3) Rating countries' climate policy packages based on the scope and strength of policies like carbon pricing, renewable energy support and fossil fuel subsidy phase outs.
The document finds that while current country plans will still lead to over 2°C of warming, more ambitious action closing the emissions gap by 20-34% could limit warming to below 2°C. It advocates using multiple complementary approaches to evaluate and compare countries'

Niklas Höhne from NewClimate Institute presents at a lunch event hosted by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) at the margins of the UNFCCC ADP negotiations on the development of 2°C compatible investment criteria.
Countries can strengthen their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to help close the emissions gap in several ways: by strengthening NDCs directly, increasing the coverage and effectiveness of national policies like renewable energy support and efficiency standards, and replicating successful policies globally which could reduce emissions to levels consistent with 2 degree warming. Most climate mitigation actions also provide sustainable development benefits like economic growth, improved health from reduced air pollution, new jobs and increased energy security.
Updated analysis of current climate policies and mitigation pledgesNewClimate Institute
This document summarizes an analysis of climate policies and emissions pledges for 25 major emitting countries. The main findings are: 1) Less than a third of countries are on track to achieve their NDCs based on current policies; 2) Most countries will need additional measures to achieve their NDCs/INDCs or prevent emissions increases by 2030; 3) Global progress remains insufficient to stay well below a 2°C temperature rise. The analysis finds that countries like Morocco, Japan, and Mexico will specifically require more ambitious policies to meet their pledges. Limitations include incomplete assessments and uncertainty around future policy changes.

The document discusses resource efficient and cleaner production (RECP), which is defined as the continuous application of an integrated, preventive environmental strategy towards processes, products and services to increase efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment. RECP aims to identify where companies are losing resources in the form of waste and pollution in order to minimize these losses and improve productivity.
Best practice indicators at the sectoral level and where countries standNewClimate Institute
This document discusses best practice indicators for decarbonization at the sectoral level. It presents an overview of a comprehensive list of 35 indicators across 5 sectors plus sub-sectors. The document then provides examples of defining best practice for electricity emission intensity and transport road emission intensity. Countries are identified that best represent current best practice for these indicators. The document concludes that sectoral indicators allow identification of decarbonization trends not apparent at the macro level and help understand drivers of emissions pathways.
The document analyzes the impact of non-state and sub-national climate action. It finds that such action is increasing and initiatives have set various goals. The impact is likely significant but effects and overlaps with national policies need more attention. Quantitative analysis estimates initiatives could reduce emissions by 0.3-1 GtCO2e in 2020, with some actions additional to national plans and some supporting national plans. More analysis of major countries is planned to better understand initiatives' impacts.
Assessing ambition of INDCs: Regional technical dialogue on INDCsNewClimate Institute
This document discusses ways to assess the ambition level of countries' intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It outlines five approaches: comparing INDCs to business-as-usual emissions projections; comparing to effort-sharing models; comparing to estimates of mitigation potential; comparing to decarbonization indicators; and comparing policies to good practice packages. Each approach provides different information but combining multiple approaches can provide the most comprehensive assessment. The level of complexity can also vary from simple to more detailed analyses depending on the method and data used.

Frauke Röser, Niklas Höhne and Thomas Day presented on "Preparation of first NDCs kick-started national mitigation policy process, but momentum needs to be maintained", at the "Making climate action more transparent and ambitious" side event at COP24 in December 2018.
The document discusses the eco-innovation approach which is an essential tool for more resource-efficient economies. It promotes sustainable practices throughout a company's value chain at the strategic business level through holistic life-cycle analysis and stakeholder involvement. For policymakers, eco-innovation can help achieve sustainability goals, overcome resource constraints, create jobs, and boost economic development. The EU4Environment project aims to assist SMEs in evaluating value chains and finding solutions to strengthen market position and competitiveness through national trainings, awareness raising, market and policy analysis, and advisory services including business strategy development.
The document provides an overview of the OECD's climate-related finance work. It discusses measuring and mobilizing climate finance for developing countries, including progress toward the $100 billion annual climate finance goal. It also addresses aligning public and private sector finance with climate goals, such as developing approaches for green budgeting and promoting climate action by corporations. The document summarizes several initiatives to strengthen domestic enabling conditions for clean energy finance, align development assistance with climate goals, and assess investments in green infrastructure.
This document summarizes a presentation on developing long-term mitigation strategies to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. It outlines three key points:
1) Setting the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, which would require reducing greenhouse gas emissions 85-90% below 2005 levels. Medium and short-term action is crucial to achieving this long-term goal.
2) Gaining broad support from stakeholders through political engagement and participation. The transition will create new economic opportunities but must be fair and minimize impacts on vulnerable groups.
3) A mitigation roadmap is important but must be complemented by an adaptation roadmap to assess vulnerability under different warming scenarios and ensure investment decisions are consistent with the goals

This document discusses using an energy systems optimization model called TIMES-Ireland Model (TIM) to inform carbon budget recommendations for Ireland. TIM can calculate the least-cost energy system configuration to meet future demands while respecting constraints. In the short-term, TIM can inform what changes are needed to meet decarbonization targets, the optimal emission reduction pathway over time and sectors, and the policy effort gap. Additional development is needed for TIM to fully inform other questions around carbon budgets, costs, and policies. The model developers aim to make TIM fully open-source and engage stakeholders in its use and development.
This document outlines progress on developing an action plan to accelerate Wales' transition to a low carbon economy. A roundtable discussion was held in April 2013 and a draft proposal was submitted to the Council for Economic Renewal in May. The draft action plan aims to reinforce existing sectoral activities, leverage funding, and link up existing activities to promote good growth stimuli like local supply chains and resource efficiency. Next steps include getting a baseline study underway and publishing a manifesto on good growth in Wales next year.
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.

Niklas Höhne from NewClimate Institute presents good practices for the preparation of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), compatible with global emission pathways towards the 2°C target.
The document discusses ways to narrow the emissions gap identified in the 2014 UNEP gap report. It finds that mitigation potential exceeds the gap, with opportunities in energy supply, industry, buildings, transport, waste, agriculture and forestry totaling over 30 GtCO2e by 2030. Co-benefits like improved access to energy, jobs, energy security and reduced pollution can drive emissions reductions. However, barriers still exist like fossil fuel subsidies and investments focused on short-term returns. National policies in over 140 countries support renewables and efficiency. International initiatives could reduce emissions in renewables, buildings, appliances and transport by over 3 GtCO2e annually by 2020. With sound policies and cooperation, the emissions

Building a Climate Resilient Business: Managing Risks & Exploit Opportunities...Enhesa
Climate change is affecting business’ bottom line globally. Big business recognises the need to both adapt to become resilient to today’s weather and tomorrow’s climate and plan for opportunities, as well as to reduce carbon emissions through mitigation.
Enhesa, in partnership with Ecofys, hosted a complimentary webinar that highlighted recent regulatory developments and policy challenges worldwide, focused on how climate change impacts are already affecting big business and the associated costs, as well as the opportunities, changing policy frameworks and potential legal liabilities of not taking climate actions.
During this webinar we explored:
-The regulatory landscape of climate change policy and initiatives worldwide
-Examples of global changes in weather and climate affecting businesses today
-Risks of not adapting
-Physical, legal, financial and transitional risks if a company does not adapt
-Case law on legal liabilities
-Market opportunities that can be optimized when companies improve their resilience
-Science-based GHG targets while learning how to align your GHS reduction targets with a 2°C climate goal
-Reasons why companies are setting ambitious GHG reduction targets
-Mitigation measures
-What internal and external carbon prices are driving mitigation actions of companies
-Case studies of companies setting science-based GHG reduction targets and their climate actions
This document discusses low carbon growth strategies in Asia Pacific countries and the Asia Pacific Network's (APN) approach. It notes that countries like Korea have adopted green growth as a national strategy to pursue economic growth while reducing emissions. The document provides examples of Korea's national strategy, which includes targets for reducing emissions and increasing renewable energy. It also discusses how green growth can help economies become more resilient by reducing resource consumption. Overall, the document examines how Asia Pacific countries are pursuing low carbon green growth strategies.
Approaches to lift sectoral mitigation potential with markets in transitionNewClimate Institute
The document discusses approaches to developing bilateral agreements for piloting sectoral carbon market mechanisms. It focuses on the power generation and building sectors in Chile and South Africa as potential pilot cases. Benchmark concepts are proposed for setting crediting thresholds in each sector based on existing mechanisms like the CDM but with modifications to increase environmental integrity and incentivize further mitigation actions. Bilateral agreements could help test sectoral market mechanisms during the current transition period for international carbon markets.

It outlines New Zealand's whole-of-government climate change policy framework focused on leadership, a sustainable economy, and social inclusion. New Zealand's $12.1 billion COVID-19 recovery package and $12 billion infrastructure package aim to stimulate the economy while accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future through job-rich green projects. Examples of initiatives include $3 billion for climate resilience projects creating over 20,000 jobs, and $1.3 billion for nature-based jobs through a "Jobs for Nature" program creating up to 11,000 jobs. Decision-making processes integrate sustainability criteria to ensure recovery investment aligns with long-term
This document summarizes the status and challenges of countries preparing Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) ahead of the UNFCCC climate negotiations in Paris. It finds that almost 80% of countries have started the INDC process, with 10 already submitted. Most countries are expected to submit by September/October 2015, which would cover 58% of global emissions. Key challenges include uncertainty around what to include in INDCs, limited capacity, and securing political support. However, the INDC process is also accelerating existing climate policy and engagement in many countries.
Green budgeting - Andrew Blazey, OECD Secretariat,OECD Governance
This presentation was made by Andrew Blazey, OECD Secretariat, at the 14th OECD-Asian Senior Budget Officials Meeting held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 13-14 December 2018
The document discusses Australia's recently announced target to reduce emissions by 26-28% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. This target will be scrutinized internationally as many countries are intensifying efforts to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy. The UN Paris climate conference in December will negotiate a post-2020 agreement to limit global warming to under 2 degrees Celsius. Recent developments show growing global momentum to reduce emissions and decarbonize the economy. Australia's target and policies should represent a fair contribution internationally and consider targets adopted by major trading partners like China, US, and EU to align with global efforts.

This document discusses using an S-curve model to project technology uptake like electric vehicles and renewable energy sources under different policy scenarios. It can model a "best practice policy" scenario based on successful country examples and a "no policy" scenario without incentives. The model links specific policies to factors that influence adoption rates. Analysis identifies policy areas where countries can improve incentives to increase technology uptake towards best practice levels. Results are intended to help policymakers understand how policies impact projections and what more actions may be possible.

Assessment of NDCs and implemented policies - China - COP 23NewClimate Institute
The Climate Action Tracker by NewClimate Institute, Climate Analytics and Ecofys presents the ongoing activities on NDC and current policy assessment, country rating and decarbonisation indicators.
The document discusses the European Union's emissions projections, decarbonization efforts, and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It finds that the EU's current NDC is insufficient and would lead to 2-3°C of warming by 2100. It notes that coal currently makes up 25% of EU electricity generation and 17% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that phasing out coal by 2030 is needed to be consistent with the Paris Agreement's goals. The document concludes that the EU needs to enhance its climate policies by phasing out coal by 2030, increasing renewable energy deployment, fully decarbonizing the energy sector by 2050, and achieving net zero emissions in the second half of the century.

(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.

The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Progress towards good practice policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
1. Progress towards good practice
policies for reducing greenhouse gas
emissions

Supported by the Netherlands Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment
3. The new climate policy
database
www.newclimate.org 3
Covers over 2400
existing/existed policies
in 112 countries
Provides comprehensive
overview of mitigation
policies
2 December 2015
www.climatepolicydatabase.org
4. Long-term goal of
the new database
To establish an open, collaborative platform to gather all climate-
related policies, with full geographical and sectoral coverage
Most cover either only some sectors or a subset of countries
Table: existing policy info sources covered in the new database
2 December 2015 www.newclimate.org 4
5. Policy coverage analysis for
30 major emitters
Analyses the coverage of
good practice policy menu
Assesses whether policies
exist
Does NOT assess whether
policies are ambitious or
effective
The 30 countries cover 82%
of total GHG emissions (2012,
incl. LULUCF)
Key feature of the database
2 December 2015 www.newclimate.org 5
6. Policy coverage analysis:
Analytical approach
1. Develop a good practice policy menu
• Based on 12 policy studies including those from
IEA, UNFCCC, UNEP, and the New Climate
Economy
2. Country-level identification of existing policies
in the policy menu
3. Evaluation of overall policy menu coverage
among the 30 countries
2 December 2015 www.newclimate.org 6
7. Initial results (1):
General and electricity/heat
www.newclimate.org 72 December 2015
Overall national climate strategy and planning is relatively well covered
Coverage for GHG reduction targets increased significantly during INDC process
Support for renewables is mainstream
Fossil fuel subsidies still prevalent
8. Initial results (2):
Industry and buildings
www.newclimate.org 82 December 2015
Energy efficiency (EE) in the industry: room for wider policy coverage
EE in buildings: relatively well covered
Low coverage for non-CO2 emissions reductions
Fossil fuel subsidies still prevalent
9. Initial results (3):
Transport and agri/forestry
www.newclimate.org 92 December 2015
>50% have support schemes for transport biofuels
Room for enhanced implementation of fuel efficiency standards
Fossil fuel subsidies still prevalent
10. Recommendations
Advance national target setting and strategy development
(significant improvement was made during the INDC
preparation process)
Supporting energy efficiency in all sectors
Supporting renewable energy in all sectors, in particular in
industry and heating and cooling of buildings
Removing fossil fuels subsidies
Supporting all areas outside of energy, in particular methane
from oil and gas production, waste, N2O emissions from
industrial processes, fluorinated gases and agriculture.
2 December 2015 www.newclimate.org 10
11. Future work
Climate policy database
Addressing the shortcomings identified
Policy coverage and depth of information not equal across countries
Coverage of subnational policies with significant impact
Review by country experts to ensure equal information depth
Policy menu coverage analysis
Wider coverage of countries
Include the fact that specific policy areas are more or less relevant for
individual countries, due to their different emission profile.
Assessment of the ambition level and the effectiveness of the policies
that have been implemented to date.

15. What policies are considered
“good practice”?
“Good practice policies” defined as:
“climate and energy policies that have been - or are
being - implemented in various countries, have proven
their feasibility and generally agreed in the literature to
contribute directly or indirectly to significant deviation
from business-as-usual GHG emissions development
in specific (sub-) sectors, while possibly generating
co-benefits that contribute to meeting (other) national
development goals.”
www.newclimate.org 152 December 2015
17. Summary of initial findings
Support for renewable electricity generation is mainstream
Efficiency in buildings and biofuels are half covered and therefore have
significant remaining potential
Removal of fossil fuel subsidies has very high potential
Overarching carbon pricing schemes are currently limited but increasing
in scope
Energy efficiency polices are not yet widely spread and could be
significantly enhanced
For all areas outside of energy, except deforestation, coverage is low
Strategies and policies to fundamentally change the way we consume are
underdeveloped, while such changes can be amongst the most cost-
effective.
Overall national climate strategy and planning is quite comprehensive
