2 Übersicht 1) Globaler Kontext a) Fakten und Zahlen b) Definitionen c) Hemmnisse für Green Growth a) Übersicht b) Interventionsfelder EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 2

3 1) Globaler Kontext a) Fakten und Zahlen Source: UNEP annual report 2010 EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 3

4 1) Globaler Kontext a) Fakten und Zahlen Source: IEA, CO 2 Emissions from fuel combustion Highlights 2010 Source: IEA, Key World Energy Statistics 2010 EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 4

5 1) Globaler Kontext a) Fakten und Zahlen Annual change in forest area by region in millions of hectares per year, Source: FAO (2010) EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 5

6 1) Globaler Kontext b) Definitionen Mitigation vs. Adaptation Technological change and substitution to reduce resource inputs and emissions per unit of output. Policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance sinks (CO2-Senke) changes in a system in response to some force or perturbation (climate) adjustment in individual, group and institutional behaviour in order to reduce socity s vulnerabilities to climate changes in processes, practices or structures to moderate or offset potential damages or to take advantage of opportunities associated with changes in climate. EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 6

7 1) Globaler Kontext b) Definitionen Green Growth: Promoting long term economic growth and development while avoiding unsustainable pressure on the quality and quantity of natural assets. EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 7

8 1) Globaler Kontext b) Hemmnisse Barriers to Green Growth: a) Inspiration: Low-income countries in Age of Opportunity by Forum of the Future: b) Brainstorming: EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 8

9 Ausgangslage: a) Übersicht Leistungsbereich Wirtschaftliche Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (SECO-WE) = Kompetenzzentrum des Bundes für: Nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung von Entwicklungsländern (EL) Nachhaltige Integration der Partnerländer in die Weltwirtschaft Ziel: low carbon growth path für Partnerländer: Abschwächung des Anstiegs des (fossilen) Energieverbrauchs Verlagerung auf nachhaltigere Energiequellen Armutsminderndes Wachstum beibehalten Voraussetzung: effektive und effiziente marktwirtschaftliche Mechanismen: Anreizsysteme, positive Rahmenbedingungen und Investitionsumfeld Unterstützung beim Aufbau dieser Instrumente und deren Nutzung Zugang zu clean technologies Finanzielle Mittel EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 9

10 Low Carbon Growth Path a) Übersicht Threat vs Opportunity Economic Development and Growth in Partner Countries Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Adaptation SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SECO s Approach: Identification of potentials and opportunities Promotion of mitigation measures EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 10

11 Fields of Intervention by SECO a) Übersicht 3 Main Domains Instruments Promoting Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Sources Sustainable use and valuation of ressources Know-how Capacities Technology Technical Assistance Investments Institutions Policy Dialogue Cleaner Production Energy Infrastructure Megacities Green Credits Flexible Mechanisms Sust. Forest Management EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 11

12 Initial position Promoting Energy Efficiency Use of energy is at the origin of majority of GHG Emissions Demand for energy will further increase, i.e. in emerging markets b) Interventionsfelder Approach Improved infrastructure Efficient processes Clean production Environmentally friendly technologies Buildings and traffic Financial incentives (incl. CDM) EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 12

13 Examples SECO in Energy Efficiency District Heating (Romania, EBRD) Environmentally sound technologies, Cleaner Production Centers (UNIDO) + green credit lines! > CHF 50m Residential Energy Efficiency (Ukraine, IFC) Global CDM capacity building (Carbon Finance Assist, World Bank); USD 7m Standards and labelling for appliances: refrigerators; TVs; cars - topten China b) Interventionsfelder EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 13

14 Initial position Renewable Energy Sources Fossiles as main driver of CO 2 -Emissions Shortage of fossile Energy to be expected b) Interventionsfelder Approach Diversification of energy mix Promotion of renewable energy: Hydro, wind, solar, bio gas Renovation of existing power plants Technology transfer; projects with demonstration effect EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 14

15 Examples SECO in the Field of Renewable Energy Sources Fierza hydro power plant (Albania, EBRD, World Bank), CHF 10m SREP = Scaling-up Renewable Energy Program (World Bank); Federal Council has approved 2010 Swiss contribution of USD 20 m Biofuels study EMPA (Colombia, IADB) Interministerial platform REPIC for feasiblity studies and pilots, CHF 4m b) Interventionsfelder EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 15

16 b) Interventionsfelder Sustainable Use of Natural Ressources Initial position Approach <20% of global CO 2 -Emissions through deforestation Negative consequences for ecosystems: Erosion, loss of biodiversity, water mangagement Dependency of local communities Appreciation of carbon stocks: REDD (=Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) Sustainable Forest Management Value Added: Timber, Non-Timber Forest Products, Tourism use it or lose it! EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 16

17 Forest Carbon Partnership Facility World Bank: REDD readiness, CHF 9m Index based wheather insurance (World Bank), e.g. India Biotrade Facilitation Program (UNCTAD, IFC); national biotrade programs Peru, Vietnam; Commodity Sustainability Standards: Timber, biofuels, coffee, cotton Access & Benefit Sharing (ABS) Convention on Biodiversity b) Interventionsfelder Examples: SECO in the field of Sustainable Use of Natural Ressources EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 17

18 Cities and Climate Change b) Interventionsfelder Cities count for 70-80% of global GHG emissions Leading Cities are engaged in CC (C40; ICLEI) Cities are important investors in relevant fields: transport, buildings, lighting, waste, power plants Most cities are not aware of CDM opportunities UNFCCC Parties forget the subnational level Energiestadt; City twinning, knowledge exchange / technology transfer Cities are also regulators: Enabling environment EVD/SECO/Privatsektorförderung Gabriela Schafroth 18
