1 EUSBSR Horizontal Action CLIMATE BSR Climate Dialogue RT Tallinn Krista Kampus, Head of Baltic 2030 Coordinator of the EUSBSR HA Climate

2 A sub-objective under the EUSBSR Priority Increase Prosperity 1. Climate Change Adaptation: to increase the BSR resilience to climate change 1. Low Emission Development: to support the BSR transition to a lowcarbon economy Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts 2

3 Objectives MAINSTREAMIG THE CC IN THE BSR CONNECTING THE BSR, BUILDING AND CHARING KNOWLEDGE COORDINATION AND SYNERGY AMONG INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS ALIGNMENT OF POLICIES & FINANCING

4 Areas for cooperation on mitigation and adaptation Policysciencebusiness dialogue, social innovations Renewable energy& efficiency policy tools eco-design; shift to circular & sharingeconomy Electromobility, increasing share of public transport MITIGATION 5 cooperation areas Awareness & capacity building ADAPTATION 5 cooperation areas Monitoring, indicators, financing Awareness & capacity building Sustainable consumption - GPP Land use, spatial planning, governance Disaster risk management and resilience

5 1. Mitigation results and achievements Mainstreaming climate to other policy areas through cooperation with PA Energy, PA Secure, PA Transport, PA Culture and BDF 1st Stakeholders Seminar Energy Dialogue: Financing Energy Efficiency , Stockholm 2nd Stakeholders seminar Financing the Future of Energy Efficiency , Riga Seminar: Culture as a driving force for sustainability HA Climate & PA Culture

6 Mitigation - results and achievements Public-private dialogue on Energy Savings and Conservation(ESCO) and Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) services market for SME-s in Baltic States Network of public and business stakeholders for sharing knowledge and experience on implementation of Energy Performance of Buildings Directive Increased knowledge for mobilisation of funds for energy efficiency projects and on new financial instruments

7 Mitigation All the BSR EU Member States are in track on implementing EU 2020 climate and energy goals EU Member State Reduction of GHG emissions by 2015 compared to 1990 level, % Share of renevable energy from total energy consumption in 2015, % Denmark Estonia Finland Germany Latvia Lithuania Poland Sweden

8 Reduction of climate effects and use of non Renewable resources Bioeconomy development by optimising use of biomass waste and residues Total budget: , Duration: 3 years

9 2. Adaptation Climate Dialogue Platform Round-Tables Integrated storm water management Relevant areas for cooperation climateadapt.eea.europa.eu Adapting to climate change by promoting green and blue infrastructure 35 cities to be trained in BSR What? How? 1. Renewable energy& efficiency policy tools 2. Monitoring, indicators, financing 3. Disaster risk management and resilience 4. Land use, spatial planning, governance 5. Awareness & capacity building BSR climate forums, seminars, capacity building programmes Joint projects and actions Cooperation other EU macroregions Urban resilience CASCADE -Community Safety Action for Supporting Climate Adaptation and Development Adjust existing risk assessment methodology to the climate change Region-wide policy dialogue on UN Sendai Framework

10 Adaptation State of preparation and adopting National CCA Strategies

11 Community safety actions for supporting climate adaptation development Cross-cutting cooperation PA Secure Increase the resilience of communities HA Climate 11 Krista Kampus, CBSS

12 Cooperation with European Environment Agency Updating BSR section of the EU ClimateADAPT web-platform HA Climate is a member of the EEA Advisory Board of the EC Report on CC Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation & drafting the EEA Technical Paper on Adaptation in European Transnational regions (will be published October 2018).

13 BSR Climate Dialogue Platform - Baltic Sea Future Conference 8-9 March, Stockholm

14 Flagship: iwater

15 Other projects Interreg BSR Programme Seed Money ERREC 2.0 SUMBA Other: Flagship EFFECT4Buildings currently Flagship under PA Energy SEA-RIMS - ethical aspects of sea-level rise in BSR (Royal Technical Institute in cooperation with several Swedish municipalities, financed by the Swedish Research Council). Under preparation: IMPRESSme - improving industrial SMEs energy efficiency support programs (led by University of Gävle, SE) CASCADE - for capacity building of local governments on climate risks assessment ( PA Secure, HA Climate, UBC)

16 Added value of cooperation: Economic losses due to extreme weather events

17 Added value of cooperation: adaptation readiness The ND-GAIN Country Index, a project of the University of Notre Dame Global Adaptation Index

18 0 6 / 0 9 / The most critical SDGs for the BSR countries Overview Slide Denmark Estonia Finland Germany Iceland Latvia Lithuania Norway Poland Russia Sweden Scale Green Yellow Orange Red Takeaways Results show ambitious nature of SDGs Others with discrepancy of results across BSR Some SDGs challenging across all countries Decisive action needed across almost all SDGs CBSS EGSD Report Baltic 2030: Bumps on the Road How the Baltic Sea States are performing on the SDGs, by Nordic Sustainability, April 2018.

19 Revision of the EUSBSR Action Plan Revision starts in Autumn 2018 Spatial Foresight report EUSBSR After 2030: Governance remastered integration of the global priorities and challenges (UN SDGs, Paris Climate Agreement) into the EUSBSR objectives&pas 19

20 Linking EU climate objectives post 2020 MFF and revision of the EUSBSR AP EC proposal on EU budget: Regional Development and Cohesion Policy beyond 2020 (29 May 2018) Reflecting the importance of tackling climate change & the EU commitments to implement the Paris Agreement and the UN SDGs, the Funds will contribute to mainstream climate actions and to the achievement of an overall target of 25 % of the EU budget expenditure supporting climate objectives. Operations under the ERDF are expected to contribute 30 % of the overall financial envelope of the ERDF to climate objectives. Operations under the Cohesion Fund are expected to contribute 37% of the overall financial envelope of the Cohesion Fund to climate objectives. Thematic consentration of the ERDF support on 'a greener, low-carbon development,circular economy, climate adaptation and risk prevention and management. Enhance cooperation measures with partners /.../ between different Member States (in addition to the ETC). 20

21 HA Climate in the revised EUSBSR AP The HA Climate should be revised taking into account the needs and priorities of the countries! Focus? Priorities? Actions? Support the implementation of national adaptation strategies?: a) harmonizing methodologies and indicators for monitoring, evaluation, and reporting the adaptation measures resilience and vulnerability (SENDAI Framework); b) support the local governments capacity to assess long-term climate risks and take those into account in spatial planning Continue with mainstreaming the climate actions & focusing on sustainable consumption&production (Goal 12, SE & LV CBSS Presidency priorities) 21

22 Preconditions for successful cooordination operational level All countries have nominated their FPs and all of them participating actively in the work of the CC/SCs (the NCPs are responsible in identification!) 01 Involvement 02 mechanisms 03 Internal national coordination and communication in place of national relevant stakeholders in discussions on: planning the PA/HA actions evaluation/preparation of the (Seed Money) projects and Project Concepts (early stage of project development in order to design the project according to the national policy needs and to have relevant national stakeholders in the project partnership) alignment and availability of project funding 22 Krista Kampus, CBSS

23 Preconditions for successful cooordination political level Regular Ministerial meetings (e.g.biannual) for policy guidance and feedback Regular monitoring and feedback from the FPs on how the Flagships outcomes were followed up nationally. 23 Krista Kampus, CBSS
