4 | 71 Ⅰ Introduction We live in the era of global warming which causes severe extreme weather events. Human beings are experiencing the events right now in the every corner of the planet. It has been proven that conventional urban planning fails to meet requirements and demand for the safe and comfortable globe. We, therefore, need ceaseless planning innovation. Comprehensive carbon-centered (3Cs) should be the mainstream of planning to combat climate change at the city-scale. The past decades were important time in terms of sustainability from low-carbon emission to carbon-neutral city in Gwangju. Gwangju has devotedly worked in this field with national and international partners and like-mind organizations and people. This paper highlights the initiatives and projects of Gwangju/UEA to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions towards low-carbon Green city which is one of Gwangju/UEA priority agendas.

Ⅳ Urban CDM Program : A Mandatory Approach to Carbon Financing 9 | 71 Ⅳ Urban CDM Program : A Mandatory Approach to Carbon Financing  Urban CDM, which was coined by Professor Kwi-Gon Kim, is a holistic forward-looking planning tool that integrates the elements of GHG analysis maximizing livability and quality of life for the people in broad terms.  Good GHG accounting is a pre-requisite for good carbon planning.  Urban CDM is an economic tool which helps financial analysis in a holistic manner. Urban CDM is all about return of investment, offset and benefits. What is the Urban CDM?  Urban CDM is a mechanism which gives financial incentives and provides Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) as much as amount of emission reduction at the city-scale compared with baseline emissions at the city level.  Therefore, it can be used as a political carbon decision support system both for green growth and economy and for urban planning and management.  Rationale behind the Urban CDM - A tool for carbon financing: market-based mechanism - A tool for urban GHG accounting: urban metabolism-based mechanism - A tool for 3Cs (Carbon Centered Comprehensive) planning: land-use based mechanism

Why is the Urban CDM needed urgently? 10 | 71 Why is the Urban CDM needed urgently? Cities are main sources of global GHG emissions and a major pollutant - 50% of the world's population now lives in cities. By 2050, three out of four people are expected to live in urban areas, due to urban migration - Urban areas currently use 67% of the world's energy and accounts for over 71% of global GHG emissions. (World Bank, 2011)  Less than 1% of projects registered with the CDM are credited to cities. - Interrelated Cross-Sectoral approaches are not implemented, even in the case of reduction activities of methodologies approved by UNFCCC.  Efforts to reduce GHG emissions: The impact is marginal - Due to financial vulnerability of developing countries, efforts to reduce GHG emissions and investment in environment protection are economic burden for cities in developing countries This is time to look at the CDM for the whole city.

Objectives of the Urban CDM 11 | 71 Objectives of the Urban CDM  To develop Urban CDM methodology to be registered in the UNFCCC  To develop carbon accounting that can be used in the compliance market (CDM), the voluntary market, etc.  To develop carbon reduction emission strategies  To develop a low-carbon green city planning system module (3Cs)  To mainstream low-carbon green city development into urban planning in a holistic way

12 | 71 Audience/Partners The Urban CDM model seeks to provide a user-friendly communication in comprehensive analysis of a very wide spectrum of large-scale integration possibilities, as seen in Figure 2. Therefore, the UEA has been working closely with UNEP, Korea Environment Institute (KEI), and UEA member cities, in collaboration with UNFCCC and the World Bank.

Fig. 2 Integrated total Urban CDM model 13 | 71 Conceptual model of the Urban CDM  Here is our conceptual model for developing the Urban CDM. How we have arrived this model is a reflection process of analyzing and validating documents, which have been conducted.  This model is very useful to understand inter-relationships between energy suppliers and consumers, and between built form, urban infrastructure, and CDM and technology mechanism for them, in a total holistic manner. Fig. 2 Integrated total Urban CDM model

Main features of the Urban CDM model include: 14 | 71 Main features of the Urban CDM model include:  The Urban CDM model is a new type of CDM with the combination of different categories/sectors for more than one country. It is a cross-sectoral approach to climate change.  The model includes the combination of a very high number of different technologies that are relevant for urban energy grid systems.  The model has a coherent documentation on the basic of procedure and standard of the UNFCCC CDM and seeks to provide a user-friendly communication in project descriptions.  The model aims for calculating the cost and carbon benefits of the total system at the city-scale, which can be divided into investment costs, operation costs, and taxes, such as CO2 emissions trading costs and financial benefit such as CDM, in the course of CDM documentation. Thereby, the model can create data for further analysis of socio-economic feasibility studies, such as expanded cost-benefit analysis, including balance of payment, job creation, industrial innovation, and so on.

Financial modeling of the Urban CDM 15 | 71 Financial modeling of the Urban CDM Urban CDM is a business case. The methodology of financial modeling of the Urban CDM incorporates the basic project approach of firstly identifying the carbon reduction solutions and quantifying the associated emissions, and then modeling the identified additional cost (additionality) to be credited with the Urban CDM and benefits, regulatory and macroeconomic influences.

16 | 71 The following Figure 3 shows multi-layers of finance modeling by different GHG emissions sources. It involves development of cost, supporting regulatory and funding environment including CERs and credit points and macro economic scenarios. Financial calculations include internal rates of return (IRR), payback periods, net present value, cash flows and cost-effectiveness analysis. This model can be used for solution for reduction actions viability decision. If the costs of reducing CO2 emissions from the traditional technology is included in the cost calculations, an environmentally better solution would be more cost-effective than the traditional one from an economic point of view in the long run.

18 | 71 Ⅴ GHG Projection•Diagnostics Program(GPD) And Carbon Banking System(CBS) : A Voluntary Approach to Carbon Financing 5.1 Background of GPD 5.2 Development process of GPD to date 5.3 Purpose of GPD 5.4 The GPD is being developed with the following objectives : 5.5 Procedure of GPD for low-carbon green city development 5.6 The application of the GPD to the Carbon Banking System 5.7 Draft GHG Projection • Diagnostics Expanded Version 5.8 Overall Timeline

19 | 71 5.1 Background of GPD  Many GHG-related initiatives are based on Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GPC) - To develop case studies of best practices targeting more than 30 cities The first GHG accounting tool for Chinese cities was also developed based on the GPC. Source: http://www.wri.org/news/release-launch-first-greenhouse-gas-accounting-tool-chinese-cities  It is expected that Gwangju/UEA GPD will be spread to UEA member cities and special invitees.

5.2 Development process of GPD to date 20 | 71 5.2 Development process of GPD to date Development of the Urban CDM commenced in April, 2011, as a result of memorandum of understanding between Gwangju and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Presentation of the initial draft in the 2013 UEA San Antonio Summit Presentation of the Gwangju/UEA project at the World Bank City Climate Planner Certification Program Workshop Development of GPD expanded version in 2014 with the financial support from the Ministry of Environment, Korea Publication of the full version of the GPD in February, 2015 5.3 Purpose of GPD The purpose of this program is to propose the developed system to the international society in order to seek for and utilize climate respond funds (e.g. GCF), so that wider range of GHG reduction projects becomes available thus contributing global climate change response in an active manner.

5.4 The GPD is being developed with the following objectives : 21 | 71 5.4 The GPD is being developed with the following objectives : To help cities prepare GHG inventory at a macro and aggregated manner at the city-scale To help cities develop effective tools for baseline scenario through the use of statistical projection methods To help cities have systematic planning and quantitative data support for low-carbon city development To support cities to measure collective performance with systematic and credible monitoring over time; and To facilitate access of cities to climate finance opportunities

Fig. 4 The GPD model for low-carbon green city development 22 | 71 5.5 Procedure of GPD for low-carbon green city development As a first step, base year inventory puts its basis on a GHG inventory developed for GPD, which is made simultaneously with the typing of input data for development of project equation in the baseline scenario analysis without GHG reduction policy & projects. The next step consists of a series of calculations that involve projected emissions reduction based on climate action plan and observed emissions reduction on the site. Then the model is divided the in to a technical or market-economic optimizing. Fig. 4 The GPD model for low-carbon green city development

5.6 The application of the GPD to the Carbon Banking System 23 | 71 5.6 The application of the GPD to the Carbon Banking System The GPD program is an urban GHG accounting and carbon planning tool which is being developed by the UEA/Gwangju and disseminated to UEA member cities. These are the interim results of the pilot-testing of the tool for the carbon banking system.

4) Development of Expanded PoA towards the Urban CDM 53 | 71 4) Development of Expanded PoA towards the Urban CDM  Definition of Expanded PoA Urban CDM in the form of multi-dimensional programmatic CDM (Expanded or Combined PoA) Expanded PoA is new type of format with the combination of different categories/sectors that is a format of Urban CDM which UEA seeks to develop eventually. (UNFCCC, unpublished paper, 2013)

 Conceptual Framework 54 | 71  Conceptual Framework Components of Framework for the Expanded PoA - Two options are considered to combine different sectors depending on the availability of methodologies approved by UNFCCC. Option 1 is to add a new CDM program of activities (CPA) to an existing CPA. On the other hand, Option 2 is to combine two new CPAs and more. - As an example, a LED project and a solar panel project are in the same category of activities, i.e. renewable energy, but a LED project and a geothermal heating project are in the different categories.  Linkages between the Selected Components

6.2 Case of Iloilo City, the Philippines 55 | 71 6.2 Case of Iloilo City, the Philippines The case of Iloilo City is designed to analyze possibilities of option 2, combining two new CPAs (Solar panels and Geothermal heating) as a pilot-testing project. It is important to note that once a PoA for LED + geothermal is registered, the boundary can be expanded to cover new cities and countries. Letter of Approval (LoA) from each of the country where the country is expanded will be needed. Also the PoA for more than one country can be registered if the LoA is available from all the countries (UNFCCC, unpublished paper, 2013).

+ Expanded PoA  Methods (1) Iloilo model: An illustration of option 2 56 | 71  Methods (1) Iloilo model: An illustration of option 2 As a first step, optional combination of CPAs depends heavily on practical reality. Then, the combination can be expanded to cover more categories for the implementation of Figure 2. It means that the scoping process is necessary. Expanded PoA + Solar Panels (New CPA) Geothermal Heating (New CPA) Residential: Expanded (Parking Lots in City Hall, etc.) Public: Expanded (Flats, Buildings, etc.) Residential: New/Expanded (Buildings etc.) Public: New/Expanded (Buildings etc.)

After that, it can include an unlimited and unspecified number of individual CPAs without recourse it to the CDM Executive Board. - The Expanded PoA is a pilot testing project developed by UEA in close consultation with UNFCCC. It will be introduced at 2015 UEA Iloilo Summit and spread to UEA member cities over the globe. Timeline - It aims to be registered to UNFCCC by the time of 2015 UEA Iloilo Summit

Ⅶ Conclusions & Suggestions 64 | 71 Ⅶ Conclusions & Suggestions 7.1 Conclusions 7.2 Suggestions

65 | 71 What I have presented in this paper is the 3 years' work of UEA/Gwangju with international agencies for climate issues at the city scale. One of the broad areas that are being highlighted in the UEA/Gwangju program is climate change mitigation and related issues at the city-scale, encompassing best practices, planning, policy, outreach (Governance) and all the other facets.

66 | 71 7.1 Conclusions Low-carbon green cities will have big investment opportunities in cities both in developing and developed countries such as social overhead capital (SOC). Gwangju/UEA are seeking to establish a world class carbon-free city Two of main features of Gwangju low-carbon policies are: Shifting from fossil-fuel oriented urban policy to new and renewable energy oriented urban policy Urban policies which are economically rational and can contribute to a global climate agenda Urban CDM, GHG Projections•Diagnostics Program and Expanded PoA that UEA/Gwangju in collaboration with UNEP and World Bank are currently developing will be utilized usefully not only as a tool for city carbon planning but also as for GHG accounting on different planning policy options and for economic tools. The 'renewable energy grid system' and best management practices (BMP) that Gwangju is carrying out will become model cases that are also useful in an economical way. The carbon banking system implemented in Gwangju is successfully operated due to active participation of involved actors, in particular, participating citizens.

67 | 71 This system was introduced at 2011 UEA Gwangju Summit and 2013 UEA San Antonio Summit. Many city representatives attending these Summits showed interest in the system and have requested Gwangju to disseminate it to their cities. Therefore, it is expected that the carbon banking system, which is considered as a successful model case of the Korean green growth policy, shall be disseminated in order to contribute to the green economic development in the global society. The Gwangju 100% renewable solutions makes clear that it is indeed economically and technically viable to choose renewable energy system.

68 | 71 7.2 Suggestions Through outreach programs, Gwangju and UEA are making efforts to contribute to the international community by sharing accumulated programs, technologies and experiences with cities wanting to be low-carbon green cities. Gwangju and UEA are making endeavours to create a carbon-free city, and want to have UNEP, UNFCCC, the World Bank, and other related international organizations join these efforts. In particular, as a part of common duties for the GHG emissions reductions at developing country cities, not only approaches including CDM and NAMAs but also opportunities for those cities to be funded by funding agencies need to be sought. Possible funding agencies could include USAID, KGGTF, GCF, and so forth. As a part of this effort, the next chapter suggests a proposal for a model of new carbon finance.

Ⅷ Proposal on a New Initiative for Implementation of The Urban CDM 69 | 71 Ⅷ Proposal on a New Initiative for Implementation of The Urban CDM   - Development of a Compensation Model for Carbon Financing 1. Objective To develop and disseminate an easy, practical, simple Compensation Model that can be implemented in line with existing CDMs, NAMAs, and Other Carbon Financing systems. To develop a Compensation Model in a format of Public-Private Partnership(PPP), and of the 3rd sector: participation from central government, local government, and commercial banks are required. 2. Possible Framework for the Compensation Model : Refinement of Gwangju's Carbon Banking Operating System(Figure 7)(to be Developed) 3. Potential Partners : UEA, UNFCCC, UNEP, World bank, and varies fund agency

5. Formation of Compensation Model Task Force 70 | 71 4. Source of Finance E.g.) The Korea Green Growth Trust Fund(KGGTF), World Bank - 1st year : USD 6,900,000 for 24 projects - 2nd year : USD 10,000,000 for projects to be invited Other : GCF - Development of business model in progress 5. Formation of Compensation Model Task Force To prepare a concept note and the proposal on the development of a compensation model for carbon financing To submit them to the possible funding agencies in due course
