1 Workplan Assessment of Investment & Financial Flows Project : Capacity Development for Climate Change Policy Making & Financing 1. Overview a. Rationale The UNDP Environment & Energy Group has launched the global project on Capacity Development for Climate Change Policy Making & Financing to strengthen the national capacities of up to 20 developing countries, to be able assess the magnitude of their efforts that will be required to address climate change, and to position themselves and develop policy options for addressing climate change across different sectors and economic activities. The project is a strategic and targeted capacity development initiative that will run in parallel with the Bali Action Plan. Bangladesh is participating in this project to develop capacity of the policy makers and national experts to undertake an assessment of investment and financial flows (I&FF) to address climate change, which could lead to improved planning and implementation of the projects related to climate change, in particular, the recently developed Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP). The process of implementation of the BCCSAP, particularly for the I&FF assessment, will have implications in terms of policy development and strengthening, priority setting and resource allocation. It is critical to ensure effective engagement and continued participation of the relevant stakeholders in the Government ministries together with their agencies and departments, private sector, civil society, academic circle and importantly vulnerable population groups. The I&FF activity under the project will provide an opportunity to initiate the process of consultation by bringing together the various groups, and by building capacity of the policy makers and other relevant groups on the ways to assess the I&FF having some cases as examples. As a result of this project and the I&FF activity under it, it is expected that both the technical understanding of key climate change issues and their economic and policy implications in the context of Bangladesh s sustainable development framework will be enhanced. b. Overall Climate Change issues in Bangladesh No recent estimates of climate change in Bangladesh with quantified impacts are available (the Initial National Communication to the UNFCCC was submitted in November 2002). The fourth assessment report of IPCC (AR4) has made some estimates on regional and sub-regional basis. But there are local observations which indicate that changes in the physical assets have definitely taken place over the years that might be attributed to climate change. There are also trends being observed in the meteorological phenomenon that deviate from the normal pattern and asks for caution, particularly to be prepared for adaptation in the agriculture, forestry, fisheries, coastal zone management and infrastructure (particularly in the coastal areas) among others. The Bangladesh National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), prepared on the basis of third assessment report of IPCC (AR3) and finalized in November 2005, predicted that land temperature will be increasingly warmer with the warming being more intense during the winter months (December- February) than during the present summer months (July August). For precipitation, the average is expected to rise while the winter rainfall is expected to be reduced and the summer months will experience heavy rainfall. The extreme events such as floods and cyclones will be more frequent and may be more devastating. Recent occurrences of extreme events over the last decade are bearing it out. The adverse impact of climate change will be felt across many sectors of the economy drastically affecting livelihood prospects of many, mostly the poor. These impacts will be felt on water resources availability, river bank erosion, frequent extreme events such as floods and cyclones, agricultural 1

2 production and food security, increased health hazard, and permanent inundation of vast stretches of land from sea level rise, salinity intrusion affecting agriculture, and gradual displacement of large number of people. As follow up to NAPA, and to make the country more climate change resilient, the BCCSAP was prepared. The BCCSAP is comprehensive, with 44 programme areas for which projects are to be developed, that will require the assessment of I&FF for implementation. There are some observations that are being attributed to climate change in some areas of the country, such as in the coastal areas. Fish schools are moving away from the shore line due to warming as a result fishermen are to go further out to the sea and with declining catch. Due to increase in the early warning of cyclone events, there is a reduction is fishing period by about 50% affecting the livelihood of the fishermen. The habitat for the inland fisheries is being reduced due to saline intrusion. The agriculture cropping pattern is changing in some areas for example, from rice to potatoes and then to maize. The Water Resources Planning Organization has already studied affect of increased salinity in the coastal areas and the cost of desalinization. The Centre for Environment and Geographic Information System (CEGIS) has studied the river bank erosion with a forecast of possible bank erosion along the major rivers. 2. National Objectives and Goals for the Assessment The overall objective is to assess I&FF to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change in the key sectors of energy (mitigation), agriculture (adaptation) and water (adaptation) and to enhance sectoral planning capacity for integrating climate change issues in national programmes. A related objective is to increase national capacity to co-ordinate views of concerned ministries to develop Bangladesh s position to participate in the UNFCCC negotiation process. The specific objectives could be defined as follows: Develop the concept and methodology of infrastructure design in line with the expected outcomes for incremental necessity to build and/or strengthen climate change defense measure and structures; Increase understanding at the sectoral level regarding strategic choices involved in long term technology investments for low carbon development path; Understanding of the extent of the present financial flows from domestic and other sources the use of which can be attributed to climate change adaptation and mitigation; Analyse the how I&FF in the selected key sectors would need to shift and what additional I&FF would be needed to address climate change in line with the time horizon envisaged in the Climate Change Action Plan and the planning process adopted by the Government for its implementation as well as the global time frame for mitigation action; Improve public awareness about national development implications associated with climate change. 3. Scope of the project (identification of the sectors) The critical issues to be addressed in the context of climate change are food security, water security, energy security and the livelihood security of the people of Bangladesh. The first three security areas are closely related to the livelihood of the population together with other issues. To meet the requirement of the project, the agriculture (including fisheries and forestry), water (in the context of managing the scarcity and the impact of floods and cyclones), and energy (efficiency measures and clean energy development including renewables) sectors are included for I&FF analysis for mitigation in the project. These sectors have already been identified as strategic priority areas for action, and programmes and projects on these areas are also proposed in the BCCSAP. A national Inter- Ministerial Dialogue on Climate Change was organized in November 2008 to raise awareness of policy makers on key issues under the Bali Action Plan as well as to present the outcomes of the national issues papers on these three sectors that were identified as priorities by the Government. Agriculture & water: First and foremost, agriculture is absolutely critical for food security as it supplies 90% or more of the supplies of rice, the basic staple food in the country. Agriculture contributes 20% to the GDP. Secondly, agriculture supplies basic raw materials to industries such as rice milling, jute textiles, sugar, cigarettes, leather, tea, edible oil, paper including newsprint. Third, agriculture through forestry is a major source of biomass for fuels particularly in rural areas and small 2

3 towns. Fourth, agriculture is still the largest employer in the economy. Fifth, agriculture, at one time was the most important earner of foreign exchange. Also the water sector has high importance for the country. More than 80 per cent of withdrawn water is used in the agriculture sector. Failure of the monsoon season heavily affects the agriculture sector. Flood as well as other extreme hydrological events such as precipitation, sea level rise, cyclones, storms amd surges also affect economies by reducing crop yield, infrastructure damage and leave a footprint in the livelihoods of the poor people in the country. Being the lowest riparian in the Ganges- Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) river systems, this country bears the brunt of floods, discharging over 80 percent of the GBM basin-wide runoff within the five-months, and receives residual flows from the trans-boundary rivers during the lean season. Although issues in the context of climate change in agriculture and water are frequently mentioned and seminars are being held on these topics, nothing is happening in the policy areas to integrate climate change parameters into national planning. Bangladesh, with a geographically disadvantageous, disaster-prone location coupled with food security concerns for meeting the demands of a 150 million population, is investing a lot in disaster management and boosting agricultural production. One estimate is that over the last 35 years, the Government of Bangladesh has invested over $10 billion to make the country less vulnerable to natural disasters, which have been impeding the economic growth achieved otherwise. These investments include flood management schemes upland and in the coastal areas, flood and disaster proofing of the communication infrastructures. Bangladesh has, over the years, developed a state of the art flood and cyclone warning and emergency response system which remain as a model for other countries. Climate resilient varieties of rice and other crops were also developed. The challenge now is to scale up these efforts with policy support so that the planning process can integrate climate resilience in Bangladesh in all necessary sectors and protect the poor who are most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Energy: Bangladesh is having difficulty over many years to meet its energy demand as the production process is nearly always behind the demands being created by the process of industrialization, increase in irrigation for agriculture, and the growth in urban and transportation sector. The country is currently generating 3500 MW of electricity as against a demand of 5000 MW, which is expected to double by An acute energy crisis is holding back the rapid industrialization that Bangladesh is aiming at in order to becoming a middle income country and achieves the MDGs for which energy is essential Bangladesh has one of the lowest per capita carbon dioxide emissions in the world in terms of tco 2 /person. Bangladesh is a low energy consuming but energy starved country. With 89 kgoe/capita as the energy consumption, only Nepal has lower consumption in South Asia. The country s goal is to reach electricity to all by the year The predominant energy source is firewood with 44%, followed by crop residues (21%) and tree leaves (15%). Mitigation options are limited in this sector beyond promoting energy efficiency. There is now some work on-going in the use of renewable energy in rural areas, but it is still confined to supplying isolated areas and for domestic needs with bio-gas, and solar energy (Solar Home System that is very effective in poverty eradication). There is no active plan to scale up the production of renewable energy to connect to the national electric supply grid. Wind energy has little scope in Bangladesh for power generation (excepting in selected island and coastal areas with low speed wind turbines), although this potential needs to be revalidated through wind mapping and surveys. There is also very some scope for micro-hydro potential, which may be explored in the hill tract regions of the country. No large scale interventions in energy conservation are currently available for urban areas. 4. Expected outputs The I&FF analysis is expected to strengthen national capacity to assess and develop policies, programmes, and action to address climate change issues focusing on the selected sectors, provide a general understanding on how to profile and prioritize the climate change related activities, develop knowledge output on the methodology of the analysis that can be used in post project situation, and attempt to provide information on I&FF needs in the selected sectors and their sources (budget support and external funding). The results of the I&FF assessment will provide information on the I&FF needs in the key sectors and their sources, e.g. how much can be covered by internal budget reallocations, what can be covered by corporations, and what would need external funding. In addition it would add to the understanding of the various implications of climate change in the negotiating process that will be helpful in stating Bangladesh s position. The specific outputs as a result of the I&FF assessment can be listed as follows: 3

4 A synthesis of the assessments of I&FF for the selected key sectors (agriculture, water and energy) in the context of climate change; Advocacy and awareness needs identified for policy makers and at grassroots level; Identification as well as establishing of linkages of policies and measures, and priority projects including those which are ongoing and in the pipeline for implementation or in the preparatory stage to address the climate change issues that will also include activities promoted by the international and bilateral organizations including the World Bank, ADB and UNDP. Mapping results and identifying linkages to other relevant ongoing projects within the country, including the Second National Communication; Extent of current national efforts to address climate change issues with the level of resources needed to enhance future efforts assessed for the next five years for implementation of the BCCSAP; An estimate of the current financial investment that can be attributed to climate change; A projection of future I&FF needs to combat climate change for the selected key areas (agriculture, water and energy) and the ways to tackle funding needs through international and domestic resources identified; 5. Methodology to be followed & Capacity Needs The methodology for assessment of I&FF in the selected key sectors will in general follow the guidelines provided in the UNDP Methodology Guidebook provided for this purpose. The investment flow and financial flow are understood as stated in the UNFCCC report (2007) Investment and Financial Flow to Address Climate Change that is An investment flow is the initial (capital) spending for a physical asset, and a financial flow is an ongoing expenditure related to climate change mitigation or adaptation that does not involve investment in physical assets. The Methodology Guidebook provides elaboration on thei&ff and its different components including the O&M costs associated with the financial flow. Capacity gaps and needs For the purpose of this study, I&FF is intended to determine the incremental and direct monetary costs of climate change measures, and the likely sources of those funds. The methodology that is to be adopted for this study would entail the current methods applied at sectoral level and at the level of the Planning Commission of the Government of Bangladesh. The capacities needed for such analysis are the physical impact evaluation and I&FF assessment capacity. The physical impacts evaluation are already being done by various organizations that are to be updated with new information and climate change projections that are available. The ministries in some cases use models for I&FF analysis for priority setting, preparing budget requests, and policy decision making. At the level of Planning Commission, the Government used economic models in the past for preparing the 5 year plans that they are planning to introduce again. So, there is capacity in the country for sector specific modeling and other economic analysis models for projection purposes. But the extent of using the existing capacity in the country for this study would be limited because of time and resource constraint, and also on the availability of requisite data and information. The project focal point, sectoral team leaders, and the other experts involved in this study would select the method to be used for the I&FF analysis. The example that TERI would be using in the training exercise would also be included in the decision making on the method to be used with the data and information that will be available in the three key sectors. As mentioned in the Guidebook, the I&FF estimates may be the outputs from a planning document, or from several documents, and/or from historical data. In case a model is not used, the information on the investments that are related to climate change in the annual development programme can be used in the analysis with an appropriate method for projection. Overview of Steps The overview of steps that will be undertaken in the entire I&FF assessment process are as follows: Step 1: Review of outputs and activities in line with the objectives and goals; Step 2: Review of Institutional Arrangements including identification of stakeholders; Step 3: Elaboration of the issues and activities on mitigation and adaptation to be 4

5 undertaken in the selected sectors (agriculture, water and energy); Step 4: Establish the I&FF team; Step 5: Assess information availability and needs; Step 6: Assess methodological capacities and needs; Step 7: Develop overall programme of work; Step 8: Compile information and data; Step 9: Conduct training on I&FF assessment; Step 10: Conduct review and assessment for I&FF, policies, and advocacy and awareness needs in the 3 key sectors: Agriculture, Water & Energy Step 11: Side by side with step-10, review Policy and Advocacy/Awareness needs for I&FF Step 12: Prepare final I&FF report, synthesising inputs from all 3 sectors as well as Policy and Advocacy/Awareness areas. Step 13: Document and archive data, information, and results in the form of a database for easy access. Timeline of the steps Steps 1-8 have been undertaken that will be refined with progress of the project work. The I&FF training (Step 9) took place on November 2009 in Dhaka with participation of TERI. Steps will be undertaken from April September 2010, following the methodology described in the 2009 UNDP Guidebook, Assessing I&FF to Address Climate Change. The I&FF assessment for each sector requires the completion of the following: 1. Establishing key parameters of the assessment, 2. Compiling historical IF, FF, and O&M cost data, subsidy cost data, and other input data for scenarios 3. Defining the baseline scenario 4. Estimating annual IF, FF, and O&M costs, and subsidy costs for baseline scenario 5. Defining the mitigation/adaptation scenario 6. Estimating annual IF, FF, and O&M costs, and subsidy costs for the mitigation/adaptation scenario 7. Calculating the changes in IF, FF, and O&M costs, and in subsidy costs, needed to implement mitigation/adaptation 8. Evaluating policy implications. The validation workshop is planned for October For more detailed information, please refer to Section 7 of this workplan. 6. Institutional Arrangements The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Forest. The overall National Focal Point for climate change is the Secretary, Ministry of Environment & Forest. He/she will be the chairperson of the Country Team (CT) and will lead the CT in the I&FF exercise and provide policy guidance to it and keep overall oversight of the activities. The Joint Secretary (Development), MOEF is designated as the Administrative Focal Point of the project for coordination of the team leaders and NPC. He will keep oversight of the project activities on behalf of the National Focal Point. The above Team Focal Points will be assisted by the National Project Coordinator (NPC), to be appointed by UNDP. In addition, there will be 2 more Team Focal Points who will assist the National Focal Point and the Project Focal Point in coordinating the activities of the project in the 3 key sectors as well as in other areas (policy, advocacy and consolidated I&FF) on behalf of the Government. The MOEF will be the lead ministry for the whole I&FF exercise. The Ministries of Agriculture, Water Resources and Power & Energy will be lead ministries from GOB s side in the sectoral assessments. Other ministries having cross-cutting or cross-thematic or inter-sectoral linkages like Disaster Management, Health, Food, Land, Fisheries & Livestock, Local Government, Communication, Science 5

7 Five assessments focusing on I&FF related to agriculture, water, energy, policy (please outline content), advocacy (please outline content) & awareness (please outline content), as well as a combined synthesis report, will be prepared by 6 national team leaders. Three sectoral team leaders (national experts on agriculture, water, energy) will be the Team Leaders of extended groups (each group of 25 (15?) people) of relevant specialists from all relevant sectors in the country - drawn from GOs, NGOs, civil society, academia and private sector - who will be consulted to provide inputs to the I&FF sectoral assessments and also to validate the data/information in respective areas. The Team Leaders will convene and lead a series of 3 consultations in each sector to gather information and data on the I&FFs. The Team Leaders will conduct I&FF assessments according to the UNDP Methodology Guidebook for the assessment of Investment and Financial Flows to address Climate Change related to their sectors based on these consultations and their own prior knowledge/research/experiences in respective fields. The sectoral team leaders while preparing the report will refer to the work plan guidance and reporting format available on on the kind of output expected from this exercise. The analysis of each of the 3 sectors selected for preparation of the I&FF assessments will be done by the sectoral Team Leaders with the support of Deputy Team Leaders. The Deputy Team Leaders will assist the Team Leaders in collection of data and information for development of their respective sectoral papers and assist in capturing information from the consultations with national experts to be held in the 3 sectoral areas. In addition to the 3 sectoral I&FF assessments, 2 papers will be prepared one on Policy and one on Advocacy & Awareness Needs for I&FF. All the results will be consolidated into one single report/document by a sixth Team Leader. These reports are also expected to use the work plan guidance and reporting format available on on the kind of output expected from this exercise. The Team Leaders for Policy Assessment for I&FF and Advocacy & Awareness Assessment for I&FF will participate in and draw from the consultations held in all the 3 sectors to develop their own papers. Similarly, the Team Leader for the overall Integrated I&FF Assessment will participate in and draw from all the sectoral and other consultations and also the assessments to be prepared for the 3 key sectors as well as the Policy and Advocacy/Awareness papers to prepare the final consolidated report on Bangladesh s Investment & Financial Flow to Address Climate Change (adaptation and mitigation). For this, the Team Leader will convene meetings with the other team leaders to get their views/feedback and build consensus. The sectoral, policy, and advocacy/awareness assessments and the draft final report on I&FF will be presented to the CT by the 6 team leaders. The CT will review the papers/documents and provide their comments for improvement and finalization of the same. The 5 I&FF assessments will be shared in a mid-term workshop in July-August 2010 with key national stakeholders from all sectors for their views and comments. The assessments will be revised accordingly. TERI and UNDP/HQ will also review the assessments and provide their feedback. A final national workshop, with a broader group of key national stakeholders from all sectors, will be held to validate the consolidated report on Bangladesh s Investment & Financial Flow to Address Climate Change in October 2010, as the final output of the project. The following diagram illustrates the organogram of the I&FF team: 7

Mr. Mamunul Hoque Khan (UNDP focal point) This core group of experts is responsible for planning the I&FF assessment exercise, conducting the consultations, preparation of the outputs, designing and developing the agenda for the national workshops, and revising the I&FF outputs based on comments received from workshop participants, the designated centre of excellence for the project TERI, and UNDP Headquarters. 8. Available information and data/resource gaps The national issues papers that are already prepared will be the source and guide to seek more information and data for I&FF assessment. The Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council, 8

9 Departments of Agricultural Extension, Forestry, Fisheries, and Livestock will be the main sources of data for the agriculture sector. These will be supplemented by the research and studies that are being done by the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies. The water sector will benefit from the primary data and analysis being done at the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB), Water Resources Planning organization (WARPO), Centre for Environment and Geographic Information System (CEGIS), and the Institute for Water Modelling (IWM). The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) attached significant importance to climate change that could be used as basis for I&FF assessment. The papers submitted in the workshops and seminars in Bangladesh would be a good resource base from the wide section of the stakeholders. The second national communication is now under preparation and concurrently ongoing at this stage of the I&FF assessment. The first national communication may be helpful for baseline assessment purposes. The UNDP projects on climate change and similar projects of World Bank, ADB and bilateral donors are also other sources of data. The BCCSAP and NAPA are the two important documents to support I&FF assessment. Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) as national archive for economic, social and environmental data would also be an important source of information. As proposed, the Step 5 of the Overview mentioned earlier would review the data together with the expert tem as soon as the project is place and seek the following outputs: Description of data and information availability Description of data and information gaps Strategy for addressing data and information gaps 9.
