Transparency for NDC Implementation Regional Conference EU for Climate Action & Sustainable Energy in the Neighbourhood South Brussels, 20th March 2018 Transparency for NDC Implementation Lea Kai

Funded by the European Union M.I.S.C.A. A DEDICATED PORTAL FOR NDC IMPLEMENTATION Funded by the European Union Dario Berardi dberardi@dev4u.it say What is MISCA? Mr. Lea KAI Climate Change Manager Ministry of Environment, Lebanon March 20, 2018

Background Lebanon’s INDC Cut CO2 emissions 15% 30% Unconditional target 30% Conditional to finance, technical support and capacity building

Background

Background +26 Million Tonnes CO2 eq. Total emissions in 2012 العمليات الصناعية Jordan 28 million population of 6.5

Challenges Difficulty in obtaining Activity Data on energy sector Difficulty in collecting information on mitigation measures of energy sector No data management Lack of institutional arrangements

Management & Information System for Climate Action M.I.S.C.A. MISCA stands for ... To understand better what we are talking about, let’s quickly go back to the basics.

Different Responsibilities for data management THE PLOT MISCA SCOPE Sectors Data Management Calculation Transport Different Data Owners Data Collection Tot CO2 eq. produced Industries Consumption Energy Different Parameters and algorithms based on fuel type and sectors for emissions calculation Agriculture Data Collection Different Responsibilities for data management Waste Data Entry Data Validation Data Release Tot MW from renewable produced Data Collection Private Generators Mitigation Measures Tot CO2 eq. reduction Data Collection ….. Tot MW from Fossil avoided OUTPUT Consumption Energy National Grid Emission Factor Data Collection Power Plants Data Collection Data Entry Data Validation Data Release Mitigation Measures Data Collection Tot CO2 eq. produced

3 KEY CONCEPTS HOW IT WORKS USERS SESSIONS GRIDS Users are the operators within the platform: they are sector-related with different rights within each sector A Session is a logical container that includes Data entry, Data validation, Data calculation for all grids in one specific year. The GRID is the Working Unit within the platform: data entry, data validation and basic calculations are done on a per-grid basis.

OUTPUT

CONSIDERATIONS MISCA is built so that stakeholders of each sector are the only ones who have access to the raw data management of their sector: Data Ownership is enforced Sensitivity and confidentiality of raw data is granted collaboration among government, public and private institutions is stimulated

CONSIDERATIONS Data Quality is enforced - by means of role separation: before being used for data calculation - by always associating data to one or more references. Data is entered Data is verified Data is released

CONSIDERATIONS Data Management is organized in a structured Work-flow: notification by mail are sent before the start and after the end of each step. Date and time of each step achievement is recorded

Challenges Digitization of equations and parameter Tracking progress of mitigation measures Avoiding duplications in calculations Drawing the linkages and chronology between the different steps Obtaining the green light from decisions makers and technical people

Recipe for success - Get experienced and motivated experts A team leader An inventory expert A modeller A senior sectoral expert (minister’s whisperer) Lock everything in a clear legal framework Involve and train the right people/data holder
