Overall Goal:
Combat Climate Change
 Avoid global warming
 Reduce GHG Emissions
 Recent activities are not sufficient
 Achieving scale indispensable!

National Appropriate Mitigation Actions
An evolving concept
On UNFCCC Agenda since negotiations in Bali 2007
- Objective: Scale up mitigation activities
Key Elements
- Developing countries undertake mitigation actions
- Country Ownership
- Voluntary actions
- Embedded in National Sustainable Development Priorities
- Wide Range of activities:
- Investments, Policies, Capacity Building
- Accountability – Monitoring, Reporting and Verification
 Copenhagen Accord pledges name different activities of
development countries as NAMAs

What is a NAMA?
NAMA
Typologies
Policies and
actions
Sectoral /
national NAMA
Supported
NAMA
National
emission
targets
Unilateral
NAMAs
Nat. emission
intensity targets
credited NAMA

Important Issues
Set up of Baselines
Set-up of MRV systems
- Transparency - e.g. for unilateral actions
- general reporting of voluntary actions
- Accountability – e.g. for supported NAMAs
- report on carbon value, cost-effectiveness
- Integrity – e.g. for credited NAMAs
- equivalent to A1 inventory standards
 Financing of Activities
 Capacity Building
 Political Commitment

KfW considerations –
Carbon Fund and Development Bank
Mission of KfW Bankengruppe
- Promotion of GHG mitigation + development activities in
Germany
- Promotion of GHG mitigation activities developing countries
- financing investments
- credit lines for energy efficiency, renewable energy,
- supporting GHG Reduction programmes
- KfW Development Bank Committments in Environmental and
Climate Protection 2010: 1,3 billion
PoA
Objective of KfW Carbon Fund Activities:
- Support of mitigation activities in developing
countries via CDM and Programmes of Activities
- Programmes of Activities can per definition support national
and policy based programmes

KfW Carbon Funds starting point for NAMA development
– Own activities and experiences in PoA development

From PoAs to NAMAs
Key assumptions
NAMA can build on PoA experience
as it comprises a number of elements
and designs that could be
complementary to both types of
mitigation
- Baseline definition
- Monitoring and Verification
- Incentive systems
NAMA
Possibility of linking the relationship
PoA
of the PoA with sectoral and political
situation and existing and future options
in the framework of a future NAMA
Linkage to carbon market

- given through PoA
- thinkable for other NAMA activities

Similarities and differences –
PoAs and NAMAs
Similarities
- Support and implementation of low carbon development activities and strategies
- Documented evidence of GHG reductions by use of MRV Systems
- Implementation of national or sectoral GHG Mitigation programmes
- voluntary actions
- In some cases same institutional set-up
Distinctions
PoA
NAMA
Emission Reductions can be used for
Annex-I- Land intl. off-set
PoA Coordinator can have different
legal form
Baseline and Monitoring through
CDM EB accredited methodology
Main purpose: Certificates
Emission reductions account for NAMA
country – for Annex-I if it is credited
Coordination by government
Restricted to PDD and methodology
Broad, sectoral approaches possible
Baseline and MRV system not yet
defined
Certificates possible but timeline open

Recent KfW Carbon Fund Activities
Developing a study financed by Germanys Federal
Ministry for the Environment on exploring possibiiltes to
use PoAs as starting Point for NAMAs
First results
- Approach is helpful because draws on existing and known experiences
and framework (CDM)
- Might be especially helpful for countries were existing policy framework
is weak
- Interest of countries in depends strongly on national priorities and also
on existing external funding
- Insecurity on how to tackle this new mechanism remains

Conclusions
NAMA development totally draws on ownership concept
- „domestic NAMA“
NAMAs will be an important new driver to view and direct
climate finance and carbon finance activities
- „supported NAMA“
Do not to reinvent the wheel but use existing experiences
- GHG Accounting (IPCC)
- MRV (CDM)
 Discuss the combination of future financial committments
via ODA with nationally appropriate mitigation activities
„Fully fledged“ NAMAs will need time to get implemented
13
Open questions and discussion points
Do your partner countries have NAMAs on their Agenda?
Are they interested in „supported“ or „credited“ activities?
 Do you have (concrete) plans to support NAMA
development / implementation?
 What are your plans for Climate Financing?
