1 Opportunities for Management and Destruction of ODS via GEF Programs via GEF Programs Seminar on the environmentally sound management of banks of ODS Geneva, 14 June 2010

2 The GEF and the Montreal Protocol Since 1992 support to Montreal Protocol in Countries with Economies in Transition. 30 projects in 18 countries. Over $210m GEF resources; $250m cofinancing. Phased out 20,000 ODP tons consumption and 29,000 ODP tons production.

3 Outcomes of the 5th GEF Replenishment Pledges of $4.3 billion for next four years (52% increase). $420m for Chemicals including $25m for ODS to support CEITs in meeting MP obligations. $1350m for CO 2 mitigation including: $300 for Transfer of low carbon technologies; $250m for energy efficiency. Reforms to continue to improve efficiency and country ownership, including a flexible resource allocation system (STAR).

4 Synergies with the POPs Program 47 projects in 50 countries address POPs waste management. Capacities and infrastructure built for collection; safe storage; disposal – can be mobilised for ODS destruction. A project looking at requirements for ODS destruction in addition to POPs. Can be replicated: what is required is inter-sectoral collaboration – particularly for planning and design.

5 Synergies with the GEF Climate Mitigation Program Energy efficiency projects involve phase out and collection of ODS in refrigerants, foam insulation. Often include collection of the appliance for disposal: a significant portion of the barrier/cost of disposal. One example in preparation includes generation of credits through the voluntary carbon market. Can be replicated. Need energy & environment sectors to collaborate: plan early !

6 In Summary Strong GEF replenishment with funds for Montreal Protocol for obligations of CEITs. GEF-4: pilot demonstration destruction in Russia; GEF-5: pilot in Eastern Europe / Central Asia possible. Opportunities to advance synergies with POPs and Climate mitigation programs. Collaboration encouraged at planning and design stages so that ODS aspects are considered and prioritised.
