12 3 Mitigation Actions Developed by Ecuador First Biennial Update Report of Ecuador FECHA ELABORADO POR

13 Actions and Voluntary Mitigation Initiatives in Ecuador Sectors Reported Energy Industry Agricultural, Land Use Change and Forestry Waste Seven projects that are framed in two strategic action lines: energy generation and energy efficiency. Avoid on average the emission of 1.7 million tco2-e/year. Two projects aiming at changing the productive and energetic matrix. Plan Renova - Technological upgrade for refrigeration Shift to efficient cooking stoves driven by induction technology PSB projects, SNAP, Reforestation Program for Commercial Purposes. Pillars to implement REDD+: REDD+ Action Plan ( ). Reference level of forest emissions by deforestation. National Forest Monitoring System. Summary of Information of Safeguards. Sectoral mitigation mechanism Potential of tco2-e emission reduction in five final waste disposal sites. Financial incentive to local governments, when they exceed 75% of its emission reduction potential.

14 Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) NAMA DCH Subsector: Energy generation Proponent: MEER Emission reduction potencial: 8,73 million tco2e average ( ) Status until 2015: Execution phase (construction) NAMA PEC Subsector: Energy efficiency Proponent: MEER Emission reduction potencial: 1,04 million tco2e average ( ) Status until 2015: Execution phase (substitution) NAMA OGE&EE Subsector: Energy efficiency Proponent: Petroamazonas Emission reduction potencial: 1,69 million tco2e ( ) Status until 2015: Execution phase (operation) Source: Definition of the potential for GHG emissions reduction in Ecuador in the energy sector, MAE 2015

15 Clean Development Mechanism in Ecuador (CDM) Total number of CDM projects registered until 2015: % of CDM projects are hydroelectric, followed by 16% of methane capture projects, and 9.68% of projects related to energy generation from biomass. A total of 10 projects issued CERs during the ( tco2-e) Source: Database on CDM and CER projects issued, (MAE 2015)

20 Support Received Distribution of resources according to the sector of intervention Distribution of financial resources with direct impact on climate change mitigation by intervention sector ( ) 43 actions and initiatives (programs/projects/ activities) related directly or indirectly to the management of climate change mitigation International cooperation sources: Germany, China, European Union, Norway, Japan, ONUDI, GEF, BID, CAF, IICA, PNUD, ONUD

21 Additional Needs For the different areas of action related to climate change in Ecuador, international financing is required for the implementation of the following measures: REPORTS BIENNIAL UPDATE REPORT Effective transfer of knowledge to ensure the sustainability of the report NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS Strengthening for Vulnerability and Adaptation Analysis NATIONAL GHG INVENTORY Implementation of SINGEI MITIGATION Assistance for the implementation of NAMAs ADAPTATION Strengthening for Vulnerability and Adaptation Analysis

22 Forest Reference Emission Level for Deforestation Proposed FREL = tco 2 eq /year M tco 2eq year -1 FREL Area: 100% national territory ( ha) Activities: Gross deforestation 52.7 M tco2 eq / year 43.4 M tco2 eq / year Activity data: taken from the Historical Map of Deforestation and the National Forestry Inventory (1) Average Emissions ( ) (2) Average Emissions ( ) Report on the technical assessment of Ecuador s FREL: Transparent, complete, consistent and accurate. Year National emission factors: for each of the 9 forest types Pools: Aboveground biomass, Belowground biomass, Dead Wood, Litter Gases: CO2 Forest: definition of forests consistent with the BUR

23 Emission Reduction Results for Deforestation Area: 100% national territory ( ha) Technical Annex REDD+ went through an International Consultation and Analysis (ICA) process, in 2016 Reduction of emissions = tco 2 eq M tco 2eq year -1 Reduction of emissions for Deforestation = tco 2eq BUR presented and technically evaluated by experts of the UNFCCC 52,7 M tco2 eq / year 43,4 M tco2 eq / year 38,5 M tco2 eq / year Reduction of 4.8 million tco 2 year eq per 28,9 Millions of tco2eq were not emitted due to avoided deforestation in the period The technical analysis concluded that the data and information provided by Ecuador in the technical annex are transparent and consistent over time and with the assessed forest reference emission level that was established in accordance with decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 71(b), and decision 12/CP.17, chapter II. FREL Year

24 Process of Technical Analysis of the First BUR of Ecuador Previous to the review week 14 th October. UNFCCC communicated to Ecuador the TTE members and time frame Review week 30 th November Ecuador sent to UNFCCC responses to the preliminary clarificacion 11 th November. UNFCCC sent to Ecuador preliminary clarification 07 th December UNFCCC sent to Ecuador preliminary identification of capacity building needs to be adressed during the TTE video conference 03 th March : TTE prepared and shared a draft summary report with Ecuador 31 th July: Ecuador provided its feedback on the draft summary report
