Proposed GEF-6 CCM Strategy Program 1: Promote timely development, demonstration & financing of low carbon technologies & policies Program 2: Develop & demonstrate innovative policy packages & market initiatives 1. Promote innovation & technology transfer Program 1: Promote integrated low-carbon systems Program 2: Promote conservation and enhancement of carbon stocks in forest & other land use, & support climate smart agriculture 2. Demonstrate systemic impacts of mitigation options Program 1: Integrate findings of Convention obligations & enabling activities into national planning processes & mitigation targets 3. Foster enabling conditions to mainstream mitigation concerns Goal: To support developing countries and economies in transition in achieving transformational change towards development with low carbon emissions 6

7. Compare GEF-5 and GEF-6 CC Strategies GEF-5 SO 1: Technology transfer SO 2: Energy efficiency SO 3: Renewables energy SO 4: Transport and urban SO 5: LULUCF SO 6: Enabling activities Proposed GEF-6 Objective 1, Program 1: Promote timely development, demonstration, & financing of low carbon technologies and policies Objective 1, Program 2: Develop & demonstrate innovative policy packages and market initiatives to foster a new range of mitigation actions Objective 2, Program 1: Promote integrated low-carbon urban systems Objective 2, Program 2: Promote conservation & enhancement of carbon stocks in forest, & other land-use, & support climate smart agriculture Objective 3, Program 1: Integrate findings of Convention obligations enabling activities into national planning processes & mitigation targets Difference Early stage innovation, tech transfer and risk taking, compliment other climate funds Support voluntary innovative measures, such as performance- based incentives, etc. Links to the special initiative for cities, urban management focus on systematic impacts Inclusion of agriculture, N 2 O and methane, link to signature initiative on food security Connecting Convention obligations, enabling activities with national planning & articulating ways to achieve mitigation targets 7

8. GEF Climate Change Adaptation Program  The GEF’s approach to adaptation is based on the fundamental recognition that climate change affects all aspects of human including social and economic development.  Through the LDCF and SCCF, the Adaptation Program funds the full cost of adaptation, which translates to the term “additional cost”  Our value proposition is to:  Assist the most vulnerable developing countries to address their adaptation priorities;  Assist transition to long-term adaptation  Scale-up multi-focal area projects and programs Strengthening adaptation capacities in the Agricultural Sector – Burkina Faso (LDCF) 8

9. Innovative Features of LDCF/SCCF GEF Trust FundLDCF/SCCF  “Incremental” Cost  Global benefits  STAR  Co-financing  “Additional” Cost Principle  Adaptation benefits  No STAR  Existing BAU Financing  Rolling basis approval for LDCF Coping with Drought and Climate Change – Mozambique (SCCF) 9

10. LDCF and SCCF at a Glance  The most comprehensive and advanced portfolio of adaptation projects and programs  More than 170 projects and programs in more than 110 countries  Countries are rapidly accessing LDCF/SCCF resources $1.1 billion Cumulative Pledges $939.2 million Paid Contributions $890.3 million Grants Approved $4.4 billion Co-Financing 10

11. GEF-6 CCA Draft Programming Strategy: Goal and Objectives GOAL  To increase resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change in vulnerable developing countries, through both near- and long-term adaptation measures. This goal is supported through three strategic objectives. GOAL  To increase resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change in vulnerable developing countries, through both near- and long-term adaptation measures. This goal is supported through three strategic objectives. 1) Reduce Vulnerability 2) Increase Adaptive Capacity 3) Enhance Long-term Adaptation 11

13. GEF Chemicals Cluster –Areas of Work The GEF Chemicals Focal Area includes POPs, ODS, Mercury and Sound Chemicals Management for increased coherence.  Phase out of Persistent Organic Pollutants – Stockholm Convention  Phase out of Ozone Depleting Substance, specifically to Countries with Economies in Transition – Montreal Protocol  Piloted activities on mercury – to support and inform ongoing negotiations of an agreement on Mercury  Pilot activities on chemicals of Global Concern – Related to the Objectives of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), including E-waste, chemicals in products and lead in paint. 13

14. Overview of GEF Investment on POPs Since 2001, GEF has provided US$ 695 million POPs projects – Leveraged over US$ 1.7 billion in co-financing from partners; – Bringing the total GEF POPs portfolio to over US$2.4 billion. To date, GEF has financed National Implementation Plans (NIPs) projects for all developing country Parties requiring support. – 108 Parties submitted their NIPs to the Secretariat of the Stockholm Convention. – 109 GEF post-NIP projects are under implementation. 14

16. GEF-6 Planning: Chemicals and Waste Strategy An integrated Chemicals and Waste Focal Area is planned for GEF-6 Including Stockholm Convention, Montreal Protocol, Minamata Convention on Mercury and SAICM issues 16

17. GEF 6 Chemical and Waste Framework Goal: A significant reduction in the exposure of humans and the environment to hazardous chemicals and waste of global importance ObjectivesPrograms CW 1: Develop the enabling conditions, tools and environment to manage harmful chemicals and wastes Program 1: : Develop and demonstrate new tools and economic approaches for eliminating harmful chemicals and waste Program 2: Support enabling activities and promote their integration into national planning processes, national and sector policies and actions and global monitoring CW 2: Reduce the prevalence of harmful chemicals and waste Program 3: Reduction and elimination of POPs Program 4: : Reduction and elimination of Mercury Program 5: Complete the phase out of ODS in CEITs and assist Article 5 countries under the Montreal Protocol to achieve climate mitigation benefits Program 6: Support regional approaches to eliminate and reduce harmful chemicals and waste in LDCs and SIDS 17
