Integrating Climate Action Planning with National Level Ambitions

12 December 2018

Jiwon Lee, Ranell Dedicatoria

In the next 20 minutes…

‐ Project evolution of Ambitious City Promises ‐ Project achievements through the lens of MLG ‐ Key insights in developing inclusive and ambitious climate action plan for low emission development

To hold the increase of global average temperature to 1.5 °C…

• Call for ambitious targets beyond the

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) agreed in Paris Agreement

• In a rapidly urbanizing world, local

governments and their communities play a pivotal role in tackling climate change and advancing sustainability in cities

• Needs for…
• Ambitious climate actions
• Mainstreaming of Low Emission

Development Strategies

• Capacitating local governments
• Engaging relevant stakeholders

• Many Southeast Asian countries are

experiencing unprecedented economic growth and urbanization  urban challenges & significant increase

• f greenhouse gas emissions
• All project countries committed to reducing

their GHG emissions through (I)NDCs and

• utlined that their ambition can be increased

with international supports.

• Indonesia: 29%  41 % (from BAU by

2030)

• The Philippines: 70% (from BAU by 2030)
• Vietnam: 8%  25% (from BAU by 2030)

• Full title: Ambitious City Promises:

Commitments for low-carbon urban development in Southeast Asian large cities

• Funded by the Federal Ministry for

the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety of Germany (BMU) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI) program

• Duration: January 2017 – June 2020

Project at a glance

Drawing inspiration from Promise of Seoul

• The Promise of Seoul was launched at

ICLEI World Congress 2015 by Seoul Metropolitan Government

• Ambitious and comprehensive strategy

and climate action plan to reduce 20 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030

• The plan includes 11 pledges that cover all

areas of climate change, from energy to urban agriculture

• The 10 million Seoul citizens played a

vital and active role in shaping the action plan and making their own pledges to reduce GHG emissions

Progress

Source: Seoul Metropolitan Government, 2017

20% of Seoul’s reduction target is derived from citizens’ action

Concrete climate action plans – called City Promises – that set ambitious targets and integrate community pledges

Consultation / implementation

In‐country consultations to facilitate capacity building, policy advice and technology transfer provided by ICLEI, SMG and the project advisory group New or improved comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions inventories Initial implementation of City Promises through pilot projects

Citizen engagement Outreach

Learning and cooperation opportunities with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and other peer cities Public outreach to actively engage city residents and key local climate stakeholders Platforms to collect pledges from key stakeholders including businesses and households International reporting aggregated city plans, actions and achievements via the carbonn Climate Registry (cCR)

CITIES & REGIONS TALANOA DIALOGUES

• Launched at COP23 by the Government of Fiji, Talanoa Dialogue is a series of in-

country climate consultations that connect national and subnational leaders to shape and strengthen NDCs

• Cities & Regions Talanoa Dialogues open channels for sharing resources, knowledge

and responsibility across governments at all levels by creating multilevel governance policies

• By creating this valuable connection, the dialogues are a powerful tool for nations

looking to achieve—and raise—their climate action ambitions as quickly as possible

Cities and Regions Talanoa Dialogue

• The Talanoa process has revealed many of the communication and policy gaps that

exist worldwide

• Despite the scale of local climate ambitions, the role of local governments is not always

fully incorporated into the NDC implementation process and achieving national climate goals

• National governments need an accurate and up-to-date picture of climate action and

climate risks at the subnational level, and receiving information in many different formats can cause delays and confusion when it comes to developing national policies

Key lessons learned

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FORUM (KMF) 2018

Theme: “Multi‐Level Governance in Achieving NDC in Indonesia” ‐

• rganized by APEKSI (Association of Indonesian Cities)

and ICLEI Indonesia in collaboration with Bogor City Government last July ‐ KMF results are addressed in the National Working Meeting of APEKSI, helping to report inputs on improving national, provincial, and local policies concerning climate change ‐ attended by representatives from around 25 provincial, city, and regency governments and cities in Indonesia.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FORUM (KMF) 2018

Theme: “Multi‐Level Governance in Achieving NDC in Indonesia”

Challenges Needs Lack of consultations on climate action planning‐related processes (e.g., in formulating GHG emissions inventory) Comprehensive guideline for the use of existing online platforms for climate‐related data (e.g., SIGN‐SMART, PEP PPRK) Difficulty on data collection among ministries persists due to lack of vertical and horizontal integration. Vertically‐structured climate change working group to serve as secretariat convening relevant sectoral departments

SIGN SMART Direktorat Inventarisasi Gas Rumah Kaca dan Monitoring, Pelaporan, dan Verifikasi (national MRV system)

PEP PPRK provides data and monitoring and evaluation processes of climate change mitigation strategies.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FORUM (KMF) 2018

Theme: “Multi‐Level Governance in Achieving NDC in Indonesia”

DKI Jakarta inspires other Indonesian cities to pursue low emission development

‐ intends to accelerate the achievement of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction with a focus on the energy, transportation, air quality, and waste sectors; ‐ in accordance with DKI Jakarta’s Regulation 131/2012 on Local Action Plan on GHG Emission Reduction (RAD‐GRK), which states a GHG reduction target of 30% by 2030. ‐ its commitment was strengthened with the issuance of Governor Regulation No. 38/2012 on Green Buildings in an effort to reduce emissions from the energy sector.

CITY- TO- PROVINCE TALANOA DIALOGUE

Java Cluster * November 2018 ‐ continuation of the city‐to‐city dialogue (Knowledge Management Forum) ‐ provided a platform for selected cities and regencies to communicate their concerns with the provincial government ‐

• utlined several actionable recommendations on climate

action planning targeting different levels of government (e.g., national, provincial, and local government) ‐ Next Step: ICLEI Indonesia intends to organize a national – provincial – local dialogue in early 2019.

1 st NATIONAL PROJECT ADVISORY GROUP (NPAG) MEETING

Philippines * 15 August 2018 The NPAG is envisioned to: ‐ strengthen integration of low emission development strategies (LEDS) at the local level, ‐ provide technical and policy advice on the alignment of plans and projects pursued by the project cities with the national government’s priorities, and ‐ create synergies and broaden project outreach.

Philippines * 15 August 2018

NPAG Member Envisioned Role/s Climate Change Commission

• Provide technical guidance on the use of the GHG Inventory Quantification

Support Spreadsheet.

• Review and verify correctness and accuracy of updated and enhanced

community‐level GHG emissions inventory reports of the project cities based on existing and recognized international standards. Department of Energy (DOE) – Energy Efficiency and Conservation Division (EECD)

• Provide capacity building to local governments in the areas of EE&C

including citizen engagement strategies employed by the DOE. League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP)

• Facilitate wider dissemination of project outputs to other local government

units in the Philippines that will potentially inspire the adoption of LEDS at the local level.

Lessons Learned on Multi‐Level Governance (MLG)

• MLG should be anchored on a felt need/s of one or more level of government. In this case, local

low emission development planning served as the jump‐off point to operationalize MLG.

• Continued and continuous dialogues are needed in order to come up with concrete solutions.

One‐shot dialogues cannot often resolve long‐standing and sometimes systemic issues. Civil society organizations (e.g., ICLEI) can serve as bridge to ensure transparent dialogues between different levels of government.

• Engaging local stakeholders from the beginning of the process ensures that the implementation

priorities of the subnational and national governments are geared towards the actual needs of the citizens

“As long as we continue these dialogues, I believe we have hope for addressing this urgent global challenge of climate change.” Oswar M. Mungkasa, Deputy Governor, Jakarta, Indonesia

Towards Sustainability…

Climate Resilience

• Climate resilience is defined as the capacity for a socio-

ecological system to:

– absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and – adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more desirable configurations that improve sustainability of the system, leaving it better prepared for future climate change impacts (Folke, 2006).

• Urban Climate Change Resilience (UCCR) is defined by

Rockefeller Foundation as the capacity of cities (individuals, communities, institutions, businesses and systems) to survive, adapt, thrive in the face of stress and shocks, and even transform when conditions require it

ClimateResilientCities Methodology

Energy Profile and GHG emission (Community)

GHG Emission by Sector in Rajkot, 2015‐16 Energy Consumption by Sector in Rajkot, 2015‐16

Transportation Sector has the maximum contribution of 49% to the total energy consumption, followed by the Residential Buildings Sector of 30%.

Residential sector has highest contribution in

• ver all GHG emission

followed by Transport sector – due to coal based electricity consumption

GHG emission (Municipal Services)

GHG emission from water sector is highest followed by street lighting sector, waste water treatment and Municipal Buildings Based on GHG emission inventory, it was clear that Residential sector, Transport sector, water supply sector and Street lighting sector are critical sectors in Rajkot

• Rajkot has already replaced all HPSV lights with LED lights in year

2017 and saved 8.5 million kWh electricity and 7000tCO2e GHG emission from street lighting sector

Risk and Vulnerability Assessment

Based on vulnerability assessment, it was clear that water, transportation, health and solid waste sectors are critical sectors in Rajkot

Quick win ‐ SPV installation at Aji WTP (water sector)

• 145kWp grid connected Solar PV system on water treatment plant is

installed at Aji WTP as part of CapaCITIES project, which generates 211,700 kWh electricity and reduces 174 tons of CO2 equivalent GHG emissions per year
