•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Capacity-building activities in Uzbekistan cover all
sectors in climate change:
Institutional capacity
National communications
GHG inventory
Vulnerability & Adaptation studies
Policy and measures
Mitigation and adaptation strategies
Technology Transfer
CDM development
Implementation of the UNFCCC Article 6 and
New Delhi Programme.
Institutional Capacity Building
•
The Centre of Hydrometeorological Service of
Uzbekistan (UZHYDROMET) is responsible
for the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol
implementation in Uzbekistan;
•
The National Secretariat on the climate
change activities was established at
UZHYDROMET in 2000;
•
The DNA for CDM development was created
at Ministry of Economics in December 2006.
Capacity Building for preparation
of the National Communication
-EXPERIENCES-
•
•
•
•
•
UNDP/GEF Project “Uzbekistan-country study on climate
change” on preparation of the Initial National
Communication (1997-1999);
UNDP/GEF Project “ Phase II of the Initial National
Communication” on TNA of climate change mitigation
(2001);
UNDP-GEF Regional Project “Capacity Building for
Improving the Quality of GHG Inventories for the Europe
and CIS Region)” on application of the 1996 IPCC Good
Practice Guideline for National GHG Inventories (20032006);
UNEP Project “Implementation of the UNFCCC Article 6 in
Uzbekistan” on education, training and public awareness
on climate change ( 2004-2006);
Ongoing UNEP Project “ Uzbekistan: Preparation of
Second National Communication (SNC)” (2005-2008).
Capacity Building for preparation
of the National Communication
-EXPERIENCES-
•
•
•
STRENGTHENING CAPACITY-BUILDING AT THE SNC BY:
GHG emission databases and sustainable system for
collecting, managing and utilizing activity data and
emission factors were created;
GHG inventory for 2000 and 2005 is coming to end;
For climatic scenarios were applied the MAGICC/SCENGEN
model and Statistical Downscaling Models;
•
•
•
•
For adaptation assessment of water resources was used
WEAP model;
For adaptation assessment of agriculture sector were used
CROPWAT and ISAPEG models;
For mitigation assessment were used LEAP model on
socio-economic analysis;
Now the National Adaptation Strategy is developing.
Capacity Building for preparation
of the National Communication
-LEARNED LESSONS-
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lack of experience in GHG inventory from LULUCF sector
and the 2006 IPCC Methodology on GHG Inventory;
Integration of climate change policy and measures into the
national development planning still “hanging” ;
Need to expanse an exchange of experience between
countries which are implementing of SNCs;
Need to continue the training of national negotiators on
UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol issues;
Need to practice the peer review of National
Communications between countries for exchanging of
project’s experience and increasing knowledge on NCs
evaluation;
Needs to promote the decisions on financing of the Three
National Communications for continue further capacity
building activities without breaks;
There are trained experts in our country, but without
attracting international assistance these activities will stop.
Capacity Building for Technology Transfer
- EXPERIENCES and LEARNED LESSONS•
Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) on mitigation of climate change was
implemented in the framework Phase II INC in 2001, where were identified
needs in mitigation technologies by sectors and 40 project proposals in the
energy sector, in the industrial sector, in the residential and buildings sector,
in the transportation and waste sectors were proposed. Unfortunately, only
one project proposal was implement, but others didn’t implemented due high
investment cost;
•
CDM projects can be consider as technology transfer mechanism;
•
Implemented TNA didn’t included assessment of adaptation technologies, so:
•
Need to implement new TNA on adaptation technologies assessment; needs
financial support for its activities;
•
Insufficient regulatory basis in the country on economic and marker options
for technology transfer: need to develop additional legal aspects to promote
TT mechanism in practice.
Capacity Building on CDM issues
-EXPERIENCES•
CIDA Training Program on GHG reduction emission conducted and
three CDM demo projects realized in 2003-2006;
•
TACIS/EuropeAid Project “Technical Assistance to Central Asia
Countries with respect to their Global Climate Change
Commitments” implemented in 2004-2006;
•
UNDP Project “Promoting capacity building on CDM” is
implementing now;
•
More 60 CDM project proposals prepared with total potential of
GHG reduction emission 14, 587 million t CO2-equalent per year;
•
6 CDM PINs adopted by DNA and identified partners and fund’s
sources;
•
The specialized web site on Uzbekistan’s CDM projects was
created at DNA (www.mineconomy.uz/cdm/);
•
International CDM Forum on involving of interested investors was
hold 29-30 October 2007.
Capacity Building on CDM issues
-LEARNED LESSONS-
•
Lack of qualified experts for preparation of PDD for CDM
projects;
•
Lack of knowledge of policy-persons and decision-makers
about information related to CDM approval procedures,
carbon credits and markets and financial mechanisms;
•
Need consultative assistance on validation and certification
procedures, financial analysis of projects and CERs trade;
•
Need to develop the informational library for awareness on
CDM with regularly issue of informational bulletins on CDM on
national languages;
•
Need to develop of the national registration and monitoring
system of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs).
Capacity Building for
the UNFCCC Article 6 implementation
- EXPERIENCES•
The specialized climate change web site was created (WWW.CLIMATE.UZ);
•
National Capacity Assessment on climate change education, training and
public awareness was implemented;
•
Climate change public awareness and informing were increased by:
–
widely dissemination of the published educational climate change school
books , university’s courses for students, informational press-releases,
pamphlets and bulletins in national languages, including distribution of
related materials of IPCC, UNFCCC, UNEP;
–
holding of provincial thematic training workshops on climate change
issues;
–
regular awareness campaigns on climate change issues for target
population groups (local authorities, government agencies, NGOs, private
sector, mass media).
Capacity Building for
the UNFCCC Article 6 implementation
- LEARNED LESSONS•
The level of climate change awareness and understanding of the population at
the various level of society in Uzbekistan, especially among policy- makers,
remains not enough yet;
•
The partnership between national NGOs and government agencies still
insufficiently;
•
Needs to develop the Guide on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol in national
languages for policy- and decision- makers;
•
Needs to expanse a national informational networks and include its into
regional and international information networks;
•
Needs to develop and conduct the professional training course for local
journalists and mass media;
•
Needs translations in national languages the relevant manuals and guides on
preparation of CDM and GEF projects, other informational materials of
UNEP,UNFCCC and IPCC, their publication and widely dissemination.
Capacity Building for implementation
of the New Delhi Work Programme
- PERSPECTIVES•
Increase of studies in the area of the power effectiveness and
energy saving, integration of goals of climate change to the
sectors of energy policy and technology transfer promotion;
•
Prepare local experts for negotiation processes on the
UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol implementation in future;
•
Strength the exchange of experience and good practice
between South-South countries;
•
Prepare legal documents to promote mainstreaming climate
change problem in the national legislation.
NEEDS
for strengthening of capacity building
UNFCCC/UNDP/GEF/UNEP AND OTHERS CAN RENDER A
GREAT ASSISTANCE BY USE ITS-SELF FINANCIAL
MECHANISMS THROUGH TRAININGS:
•
On preparation and development of adaptation projects for
funding;
•
On technology transfer mechanism for CDM and GEF projects ;
•
On methodologies for adaptation TNAss;
•
On negotiation process on the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol
implementation;
NEEDS
for strengthening of capacity building
UNFCCC/UNDP/GEF/UNEP AND OTHERS CAN RENDER A GREAT
ASSISTANCE BY USE ITSSELF FINANCIAL MECHANISMS THROUGH
TRAININGS:
•
On climate scenarios with apply of PRECIS and Standard
Statistical Downscaling models; on construction of socioeconomic scenarios for countries with economy in
transition; on apply of methodology and practice for land use
change scenarios (there is no any experience in this field in our
country);
•
On cost estimation of risks related to extreme events, the
adequately insurance and risk management, efficient early
warning systems, mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and
disaster management;
•
On GIS application in different areas (agriculture, ecosystems,
snow-ice resources) and using satellite information including
international sources of big resolution.
CONCLUSION
Monitoring and evaluating of capacitybuilding and its annually submission in
table format to the UNFCCC Secretariat
are useful approach and allows to
estimate efficiency implementation of
the related climate change activities and
assists in removing gaps and barriers.
