More than 20 years ago, the EU vowed to fight the newly identified danger of climate change. Over time, it has developed a policy which is two-fold: on one hand, it looks at ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions inside EU borders and now has 2050 as horizon; on the other hand, it tends to lead by example and to push other big emitters to gather around similar emission reduction objectives.
Pursuing the idea of giving a price to carbon, the EU has put in place an instrument that would lead it towards decarbonisation: the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Launched in 2005, it has today become a complex system which is being reproduced in other parts of the world. The ultimate vision is one of a global carbon market leading to a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and thus mitigating the impact of climate change.
Highlights:
* Reports on the seminar “Electricity in the next decade” regarding “Low carbon electricity systems”.
* Captures the technologies involved as well as the views and findings of specialists active in the sustainable energy field.
* Describes low carbon electricity generation, networks and services.
* Looks at technology, impact, challenges faced and benefits of each stage.
* Provides an objective, scientific view on the electricity system of the next decade.

EBRD context
• Special mandate to foster transition to market economies – this implies that
resources are used efficiently
• EBRD focus is placed at the crossroad between sustainability, market development
and private sector support.
• Legacy of big enterprises and utilities having developed not reflective of costs and
environmental externalities
• Several EBRD economies display some of the highest energy and carbon emissions
intensity levels in the world
• Imperative to increase energy security
• Existing and forecasted water stress in Central Asia and SEMED countries
7. ENERGY INTENSITY IN THE EBRD REGION

• Energy efficiency
• Renewable energy
• Water efficiency
• Material efficiency
• Adaptation to climate change
• Environmental protection
• Technology transfer
A green economy is a market economy
• in which public and private investments are made with a specific concern to minimise the
impact of economic activity on the environment; and
• where market failures are addressed through improved policy and legal frameworks aiming
at accounting for the inherent value of limited natural resources, at managing related risks
and at catalysing innovation.
• The new GET approach will mean even more projects in the Bank’s countries of operations
will have a sustainable energy and resources element.

and investment priorities to be reflected in country strategies.
At regional level, policy work could include support to national adaptation strategies in key
vulnerable countries including Kazakhstan, SEMED and Turkey, or INDC preparation in
major countries.
At specific country level, policy work could include energy efficiency labelling, renewable
energy TC on implementation, policies for buildings energy efficiency and support to green
cities policy and planning.

LARGE POTENTIAL ACROSS ALL COOs
• Buildings sector responsible for approximately a third of the final energy
consumption in EBRD COOs, and for approximately the same share of total
greenhouse gas emissions.
• Buildings in the public sector in most EBRD COOs lag behind in terms of
adopting efficient buildings and buildings management measures and
technologies.
• This considerable gap in terms of inefficient energy and water use and low
penetration rates of advanced technologies is most effectively addressed via
focused sovereign and sub-sovereign approaches.

sustainable land management accessible for Tajik businesses, farms and households.
36. EBRD climate adaptation activities
36
• Many of the EBRD’s countries of operation are vulnerable to climate risks such as water
scarcity, altered hydrology and flooding.
• Climate vulnerability is worsened by poor infrastructure, suboptimal technologies, poor
policy context and lack of data, and limited access to appropriate finance.
• The EBRD helps clients undertake actions to adapt to climate change and make them
resilient by identifying potential climate risks and providing both technical and financial
support.
• EBRD adaptation business tools include:
• Feasibility study methodology for climate-resilient water supplies
• Guidance on making ports and coastal infrastructure climate resilient
• Analytical tools for managing climate change risks to hydropower
• Industrial water efficiency audits
• Since launching activities specifically dedicated to climate change adaptation in 2011,
the EBRD financed 107 projects with climate resilience components totaling €640
million.
