Background
Nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs)
Sub-paragraph 1 (b) (ii) of the Bali Action Plan
Developing country Parties will undertake nationally appropriate mitigation actions in the context of “sustainable development” enabled by finance, technology and capacity building support, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner

4. Background
COP 15 requested developing country Parties to submit to the secretariat information on their NAMAs;
All the NAMAs submitted to the date have been compiled in document FCCC/SBI/2013/INF.12/Rev.2
Dominica submitted its Low Carbon Climate Resilient Development Strategy submitted. Renewable energy – geothermal (120MW), solar, wind, hydro etc.
All the individual submissions can be found at:

NAMA Registry
The UNFCCC NAMA Registry, an online public platform, set up to:
Facilitate matching of finance, technology and capacity building support to mitigation actions and
provide recognition to domestically supported actions;
Participation is voluntary and the registry contains only the information submitted specifically for recording.
No NAMAs from J-CCCP countries in the registry

9. Benefits of participating in the registry
Support for development and implementation of NAMAs
CTCN and the secretariat are collaborating to offer developing countries technical assistance to develop NAMAs.
Secretariat organizes NAMA Market Place sessions – platform to present your NAMAs to a diverse range of private and public investors
Increases probability for obtaining international support in development and implementation of NAMAs
Promotion and marketing Platform
Gain visibility for undertaking climate actions
NAMAnews.com and UNFCCC social media channels
Information and knowledge sharing platform
For sharing best practices, technical tools, information and knowledge for designing and implementing NAMAs

10. J-CCCP countries with INDCs
Country INDC 1
Dominica
Implement Dominica Low Carbon Climate Resilient Strategy (2012). Emissions will be reduced by 44.7% from 2014 levels by Energy industries reduction will be 98.6 % (principally from harnessing of geothermal resources) – development of alternative energy sources National Energy Policy (draft) (2014), and Sustainable Energy Plan (draft) (2014) 2
Grenada
Reduce GHG emissions by 30% from 2010 levels by 2025, with an indicative reduction of 40% from 2010 levels by 2030. 3
St. Lucia
16% reduction from 2010 levels by 2025, 23% by Reductions expected from managing energy demand, electricity generation and transportation sector 4
St. Vincent & Grenadines
to achieve an unconditional, economy-wide reduction in
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 22% compared to its business as usual (BAU) scenario by Support needed to develop NAMA in transport sector

11. J-CCCP participating countries with INDCs
Country
INDC 5
Guyana
Guyana’s intended contributions will focus on the forest and energy sectors, where the majority of our current and historic emissions are produced 6
Jamaica
Reduce 7.8% in comparison to BAU in 2030 on 2005 level (reductions in energy sector). Will implement this INDC through the Climate Change Policy Framework and the National Energy Policy Additionally, Jamaica has developed a nationally appropriate mitigation action for the scale-up of renewable electricity that will be central to the full implementation of this INDC. 7
Belize
Actions in Energy, Forestry, Transport, Waste sectors (plans for NAMA in waste sector) 8
Suriname
Actions in Energy and Forestry sectors.

12. Renewable energy landscape
All J-CCCP countries have submitted INDCs
One common thread – renewable energy measures. Most of them are based on existing policies and strategies.
No surprise – Caribbean countries face several critical challenges associated with their dependence on fossil fuels
The challenges are far outweighed by the region’s tremendous potential for sustainable energy solutions
By capitalizing on this potential Caribbean countries can take a leading role in the global efforts to combat climate change while promoting sustainable regional economic and social development
Regional transition to sustainable energy has been initiated

13. Regional effort
CARICOM regional energy policy 2013: charts a climate-compatible development path that harnesses renewable energy resources, among others;
CARICOM Sustainable Energy Roadmap and Strategy (C-SERMS) - designed to provide CARICOM member states with a coherent strategy for transitioning to sustainable energy;
An ambitious regional target of 48% renewable energy generation by 2027;
NAMAs can be scaled up regionally in the Caribbean to:
Achieve economies of scale
Crowd-source financial, technological, institutional and legislative support from development partners
Exchange experiences
Lower transaction cost

14. Regional effort – potential RAMA
World Bank Group has conducted a study and developed an approach:
Opt-in framework for solar PV
Financial and technical support
Identified key actors
Developed a potential business model
Identified incentive for participation
Required institutional arrangement
MRV Framework

15. Pre-2020 actions – technical expert meetings
Organize technical expert meetings to share policies, practices and technologies and address finance, technology and capacity-building needs of developing countries
Enhance the visibility of actions with high mitigation potential
UNFCCC has been organizing technical expert meetings on a number of themes, including on renewable energy

16. Main findings related to renewable energy

17. Support to mobilize means for implementation
Support efforts that are scalable, replicable, innovative and leverage complementary funding sources lead to the most effective and successful outcomes. Access to and delivery of finance, technology and capacity building are critical to catalyse scaled-up national action by developing countries.
