Editor's Notes
- Based on survey of 52 countries conducted early 2015 and November 2015. The NDC process has made significant developments for the mainstreaming of climate change in sector planning
- High importance of energy sector (closest links between energy and climate change strategy) Good start at getting a broad coverage of sectors given time availability for NDC preparation, but in the end there is significant under-representation of some important sectors, (e.g. sub-sets of energy) Creates difficulties in the translation of NDC targets to implementation at the sector level - Lack of clarity to stakeholder within the sectors on what are the implications of the Paris Agreement for the sector However, this trend also means that some important emission sources, which are not so prominently featured in UNFCCC emission accounting norms, receive less attention. The top-level international sector categorisation norms do not necessarily correlate closely with the actual emissions sources and the institutions responsible for them. As sub-sets of the energy sector, the transport and buildings sectors are somewhat underrepresented in NDCs, considering their importance for emissions. The building sector, for example, is referred to in fewer than one quarter of NDCs (World Bank 2016), although accounting for approximately 18% of emissions in 2010 (IPCC 2014). Whilst these sectors may often be included implicitly in economy wide targets, the lack of explicit reference to targets or measures within the sectors specifically creates challenges in the translation of the NDC targets to implementation at the sector level; at the national level, it may remain unclear to public and private stakeholders within these sectors what, if at all, are the implications of the Paris Agreement and the NDC for the sector.
- Initial understanding of some key requirements for NDC revision in order to assist sector implementation. Based on discussions with country representatives and international experts. These things will be explored in greater detail through our work in leading Sector Approaches e.g. through the Status Report Closer alignment of sector plans with NDCs: NDCs and national climate strategy documents should be revised to take account of the consolidated knowledge from subnational and national sector plans, in order to make the NDC an accurate reflection of ambition. This process was not usually done in full for the first round of NDCs for all sectors; it is likely that NDCs do not yet sufficiently incorporate subnational ambition due to misalignment. Translation of national targets to sector level targets: Clearer identification of sector targets in NDCs: Climate policy documents and NDCs provide little in the way of specific sector targets, for all sector, from which to develop implementation roadmaps and projects that might win support from climate related international funds. Long-term decarbonisation planning: Comprehensive long-term plans for full sector decarbonisation should be born out of increased collaboration between inter-related sectors, at the national and subnational level. Long term, full-decarbonisation plans are required for reaching decarbonisation pathways that are compatible with the targets of the Paris Agreement.
- Initial understanding of some key requirements for establishing the enabling conditions to assist sector implementation. Based on discussions with country representatives and international experts. These things will be explored in greater detail through our work in leading Sector Approaches e.g. through the Status Report Knowledge and awareness of the implications of the Paris Agreement targets for the future of the sector in the country should be improved across sector stakeholders, including amongst related private sector industries – increased understanding that all sector should be fully decarbonised in the long term may provide clearer signals to investors. These signals may not yet be clear in mid-term economy wide emission reduction targets. Better understanding of wider impacts and benefits can adjust political and cultural barriers, and mitigate perceived costs and risks for investment. Maintain inter-institutional lines of communication and processes (often established during initial INDC preparation) to allow for continuous involvement of line ministries. Maintain and build institutional capacities in key ministries and agencies In the case that comprehensive transport sector roadmaps exist, these may be fed into NDC and climate strategy revisions. In the case that they don’t exist, the targets of the NDCs could be translated to roadmaps focused on implementable actions Individual project proposals for international support could be developed from the investment plans of transport sector roadmaps, in the case that support is required for the implementation of measures. Whilst international finance commitments to support climate change mitigation and adaptation measures needs to be scaled up, there also remains challenges with the allocation of existing funds. Countries with clear investment plans and projects that clearly reflect their NDC contents and national development plans will be well positioned to access existing and new finance.
- TA for countries to be based on country needs. May include analysis of specific mitigation options, assistance for development of sector roadmaps or inputs for NDC revision. Central pillar for work at the national level will be analysis of political economy and benefits of mitigation action. NDC status report scope is still yet to be fully defined – we welcome feedback on what should be contained. Possible elements: current status and impact of NDCs, current status of NDC implementation, status of sector integration with NDCs, experiences with various approaches for NDC implementation, emerging trends in links between NDC implementation and NAMAs.
