1 Expert group Meeting PREPERATION FOR THE ASIA AND PACIFIC ENERGY FORUM November 2012; Bangkok, Thailand

2 UNEP : Range of Services Analysis: In-depth assessment and analysis of opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through new technologies, as well as the promotion of global norms and standards for these technologies. Financial innovations: Promote private sector investment. Activities, training and application of financial mechanisms that help expand markets for low-carbon technologies, goods, and services. Policy support: Training and other institutional support that promotes policy development and planning processes consistent with evolving global norms.

3 the Energy branch leads UNEP s work on climate change mitigation by addressing the environmental consequences of energy production and use it promote policies that place energy and transport within a broader sustainable development context it steer project developers and the investment community towards greater engagement in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors assists governments and institutions move from the idea phase to the implementation phase offering not only tools and resources, but also the skills needed to effectively use those tools and resources. The goal is to enable our partners so they can establish their own programmes and use financial measures that bring renewable energy resources and energy efficiency to their populations,

4 Main Collaborating Centers The Frankfurt School UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate and Sustainable Energy Finance The UNEP Risoe Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development UNEP Collaborating Centre, launched in 2011 in Beijing: Partnership between UNEP & National Lighting Test Center Accredited facility to provide lighting testing, training, advice, quality control and capacity building

5 UNEP also contributes to the work of several other organizations in the UN system, assisting with coordination and offering expertise to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, as well as initiatives such as Green Climate Fund.

6 Activities in Asia (global) Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) data development and analysis of fuel economy potentials, support for national, regional awareness and policy making efforts En.Lighten roadmap for global lighting market transformation to provide guidance on the phase-out of obsolete technologies and introduction of new energy efficient replacements BioEnergy Programme evaluate guide decision making, create tools for environmental and social sustainability and establish financing, business models Global Solar Water Heating Market Transformation and Strengthening Initiative accelerate global commercialization and sustainable market transformation of solar, water and heat The Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV) access information to organizations and networks, workshops on clean fleet management to support efficient vehicles policies

7 Activities in Asia (regional) Indonesia Solar Lending Programme build partnerships between institutions, create solar lending products, set minimum quality standards and improve solar technology awareness Phasing out Incandescent Lamps through Lighting Market Transformation in Vietnam Design lighting manufacturing capacity enhancement programme, improve quality assurance & control, strengthen policy and develop consumer awareness with ESL market transformation Low Carbon Transport in India develop a national action plan for low-carbon transport and design of low-carbon mobility plans for up to four major cities across India Pilot Asia-Pacific Climate Technology Network and Finance Center ( AP- CTNFC) creating capacity readiness and enabling conditions for market transformation interventions in the region through fostering knowledge sharing, public-private partnerships, and the development of institutional capacity and climate technology policies

8 Renewable Energy Enterprise Development - Seed Capital Access Facility removes key barriers preventing new or existing enterprises from expanding their services with renewable energy Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) End-User Finance for Access to Clean Energy Technologies (FACET) to provide appropriate credit to potential end-users to enhance their access to small scale clean energy technologies by helping to address the high upfront capital cost of such technologies main goal is to initiate and increase domestic bank lending to end-users of small-scale clean energy technologies in South and South-East Asia. Using interest softening or partial guarantees, or other innovative financing mechanisms, the programme encourages banks to build up initial loan portfolios of around 10,000 loans
