“iNAMAzonia an integrated approach to agricultural NAMAs for the sustainable management of productive landscapes of the Peruvian Amazon”
December 2, 2014 PABELLON Peru, UNFCCC COP 20, Lima, Peru
• A brief overview of NAMAs especially agriculture?
• Emerging features of NAMAs
• A case study from Indonesia
• A case study from Kenya
• Some issues to keep in mind
• Key challenges
• What is the future?
Outline
What are NAMAs?
• A set of policies and actions undertaken by developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• Expressed as:– Political commitment (national goals declared as a
commitment under Copenhagen agreement or UNFCCC in general)
– Policy based (regulatory instruments or economic incentives or disincentives)
– Project based (specific investments within sectorial or sub-sectorial or geographic boundaries)
A brief history
• Emerged from Bali Action Plan as part of the “Agreed outcomes”
• Then further adopted and negotiated through COP 16 and 18 – Copenhagen.
– A voluntary / non-binding instrument for non-annex 1 countries
– For reducing GHG emissions to below business-as-usual within the context of sustainable development. Dependent on provision of financing, technical and capacity building support required.
Some features (i)
• Reporting guidance:
– National communications every 4 years
– Biennial Update Reports (BUR) including GHG inventories and mitigation actions
– Process of International Consultations and Analysis (ICA) for consideration of BURs
• NAMA registration – NAMA Registry at UNFCCC
Some features (ii)
• Unilateral NAMAs (supported and financed independently- i.e. domestic resources)
• Supported NAMAs (supported by international resources finance, technical and capacity building)
DO ALL REGIONS TAKE SAME SHARE OF NATIONAL COMMITMENT?
DO REGIONS TAKE SHARE ACCORDING TO CURRENT PROPORTION OF NATIONAL EMISSIONS?
OR DO REGIONS TAKE ACCORDING TO FEASIBLE EMISSION REDUCTION POTENTIAL?
3) Linking agricultural NAMAs to
other development objectives
CHALLENGES
• Technical capacity is lacking: Several developing countries have been found deficient in REDD+ MRV Capacity and land use data deficient in recent assessments (Minang et al., 2014), etc
• Costs are high (data collection, verification, etc)
• Limited investment and competition from other pressing sectors – NAMA support slow to come along
– Emission commitments not in negotiations not growing enough
