13 Integrating Climate Action Planning with National Level Ambitions 12 December 2018 Jiwon Lee, Ranell Dedicatoria

14 In the next 20 minutes Project evolution of Ambitious City Promises Project achievements through the lens of MLG Key insights in developing inclusive and ambitious climate action plan for low emission development

15 Call for ambitious targets beyond the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) agreed in Paris Agreement To hold the increase of global average temperature to 1.5 C In a rapidly urbanizing world, local governments and their communities play a pivotal role in tackling climate change and advancing sustainability in cities Needs for Ambitious climate actions Mainstreaming of Low Emission Development Strategies Capacitating local governments Engaging relevant stakeholders

16 Many Southeast Asian countries are experiencing unprecedented economic growth and urbanization urban challenges & significant increase of greenhouse gas emissions All project countries committed to reducing their GHG emissions through (I)NDCs and outlined that their ambition can be increased with international supports. Indonesia: 29% 41 % (from BAU by 2030) The Philippines: 70% (from BAU by 2030) Vietnam: 8% 25% (from BAU by 2030)

17 Full title: Ambitious City Promises: Commitments for low-carbon urban development in Southeast Asian large cities Funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety of Germany (BMU) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI) program Project at a glance Duration: January 2017 June 2020

18 The Promise of Seoul was launched at ICLEI World Congress 2015 by Seoul Metropolitan Government Drawing inspiration from Promise of Seoul Ambitious and comprehensive strategy and climate action plan to reduce 20 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 The plan includes 11 pledges that cover all areas of climate change, from energy to urban agriculture The 10 million Seoul citizens played a vital and active role in shaping the action plan and making their own pledges to reduce GHG emissions

19 Progress Source: Seoul Metropolitan Government, 2017

20 20% of Seoul s reduction target is derived from citizens action

21

22 Consultation / implementation In country consultations to facilitate capacity building, policy advice and technology transfer provided by ICLEI, SMG and the project advisory group New or improved comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions inventories Concrete climate action plans called City Promises that set ambitious targets and integrate community pledges Initial implementation of City Promises through pilot projects

23 Citizen engagement Public outreach to actively engage city residents and key local climate stakeholders Platforms to collect pledges from key stakeholders including businesses and households Outreach Learning and cooperation opportunities with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and other peer cities International reporting aggregated city plans, actions and achievements via the carbonn Climate Registry (ccr)

25 CITIES & REGIONS TALANOA DIALOGUES

26 Cities and Regions Talanoa Dialogue Launched at COP23 by the Government of Fiji, Talanoa Dialogue is a series of incountry climate consultations that connect national and subnational leaders to shape and strengthen NDCs Cities & Regions Talanoa Dialogues open channels for sharing resources, knowledge and responsibility across governments at all levels by creating multilevel governance policies By creating this valuable connection, the dialogues are a powerful tool for nations looking to achieve and raise their climate action ambitions as quickly as possible

27 Key lessons learned The Talanoa process has revealed many of the communication and policy gaps that exist worldwide Despite the scale of local climate ambitions, the role of local governments is not always fully incorporated into the NDC implementation process and achieving national climate goals National governments need an accurate and up-to-date picture of climate action and climate risks at the subnational level, and receiving information in many different formats can cause delays and confusion when it comes to developing national policies

28 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FORUM (KMF) 2018 Theme: Multi Level Governance in Achieving NDC in Indonesia organized by APEKSI (Association of Indonesian Cities) and ICLEI Indonesia in collaboration with Bogor City Government last July KMF results are addressed in the National Working Meeting of APEKSI, helping to report inputs on improving national, provincial, and local policies concerning climate change attended by representatives from around 25 provincial, city, and regency governments and cities in Indonesia.

29 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FORUM (KMF) 2018 Theme: Multi Level Governance in Achieving NDC in Indonesia Challenges Lack of consultations on climate action planning related processes (e.g., in formulating GHG emissions inventory) Difficulty on data collection among ministries persists due to lack of vertical and horizontal integration. Needs Comprehensive guideline for the use of existing online platforms for climate related data (e.g., SIGN SMART, PEP PPRK) Vertically structured climate change working group to serve as secretariat convening relevant sectoral departments SIGN SMART Direktorat Inventarisasi Gas Rumah Kaca dan Monitoring, Pelaporan, dan Verifikasi (national MRV system) PEP PPRK provides data and monitoring and evaluation processes of climate change mitigation strategies.

30 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FORUM (KMF) 2018 Theme: Multi Level Governance in Achieving NDC in Indonesia DKI Jakarta inspires other Indonesian cities to pursue low emission development intends to accelerate the achievement of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction with a focus on the energy, transportation, air quality, and waste sectors; in accordance with DKI Jakarta s Regulation 131/2012 on Local Action Plan on GHG Emission Reduction (RAD GRK), which states a GHG reduction target of 30% by its commitment was strengthened with the issuance of Governor Regulation No. 38/2012 on Green Buildings in an effort to reduce emissions from the energy sector.

31 CITY-TO-PROVINCE TALANOA DIALOGUE Java Cluster * November 2018 continuation of the city to city dialogue (Knowledge Management Forum) provided a platform for selected cities and regencies to communicate their concerns with the provincial government outlined several actionable recommendations on climate action planning targeting different levels of government (e.g., national, provincial, and local government) Next Step: ICLEI Indonesia intends to organize a national provincial local dialogue in early 2019.

32 1 st NATIONAL PROJECT ADVISORY GROUP (NPAG) MEETING Philippines * 15 August 2018 The NPAG is envisioned to: strengthen integration of low emission development strategies (LEDS) at the local level, provide technical and policy advice on the alignment of plans and projects pursued by the project cities with the national government s priorities, and create synergies and broaden project outreach.

33 1 st NATIONAL PROJECT ADVISORY GROUP (NPAG) MEETING Philippines * 15 August

34 1 st NATIONAL PROJECT ADVISORY GROUP (NPAG) MEETING Philippines * 15 August 2018 NPAG Member Envisioned Role/s Climate Change Commission Provide technical guidance on the use of the GHG Inventory Quantification Support Spreadsheet. Review and verify correctness and accuracy of updated and enhanced community level GHG emissions inventory reports of the project cities based on existing and recognized international standards. Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Conservation Division (EECD) League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) Provide capacity building to local governments in the areas of EE&C including citizen engagement strategies employed by the DOE. Facilitate wider dissemination of project outputs to other local government units in the Philippines that will potentially inspire the adoption of LEDS at the local level.

35 Lessons Learned on Multi Level Governance (MLG) MLG should be anchored on a felt need/s of one or more level of government. In this case, local low emission development planning served as the jump off point to operationalize MLG. Continued and continuous dialogues are needed in order to come up with concrete solutions. One shot dialogues cannot often resolve long standing and sometimes systemic issues. Civil society organizations (e.g., ICLEI) can serve as bridge to ensure transparent dialogues between different levels of government. Engaging local stakeholders from the beginning of the process ensures that the implementation priorities of the subnational and national governments are geared towards the actual needs of the citizens

36 As long as we continue these dialogues, I believe we have hope for addressing this urgent global challenge of climate change. Oswar M. Mungkasa, Deputy Governor, Jakarta, Indonesia
