TRANSfer 8 key messages and approaches Objective: Support decision makers to develop climate strategies in transport as Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) 1. Offer attractive carbon investment opportunities in the transport sector, based on the Avoid-Shift-Improve approach 2. Provide bankable solutions in all sub-sectors (urban passenger transport, inter-urban passenger transport, freight transport and logistics, domestic aviation and shipping, rail, vehicle and fuel techn.) 3. Ensure sound inter-ministerial coordination in all stages of design and implementation of transport NAMAs, with Ministers of Transport as central key players 10.10.2012 Seite 5 Página 5
TRANSfer 8 key messages and approaches 4. Allow for active participation of private sector and civil society through multi-stakeholder workshops 5. Provide simple yet comprehensive and solid methodologies for MRV of transport NAMAs 6. Offer capacity building to partner countries on sustainable transport options for future transport NAMAs 7. Create a platform to allow matching of transport NAMA proposals with funding opportunities 8. Spread the news about transport NAMAs via a network for dissemination of good practices and lessons learned 10.10.2012 Seite 6 Página 6

Potential co-benefits of transport NAMAs Lower energy costs Less noise Less imported fuel Better energy security Less externalities Better road safety & less accidents Reduced congestion & time savings Sustainable transport Less health risks More local jobs Stronger economic development Increased private investments Increased Quality of Live Better air quality Lower welfare costs (hospitals etc.) 10/10/2012 10.10.2012 Página Seite 10 10
The climate finance puzzle Insufficient funds relative to challenge Incremental costs Cost for project design and MRV The majority of finance will need to come from domestic sources Climate finance Private sector Domestic finance Development finance 10.10.2012 Seite 11 Página 11
NAMAs catalysing climate-smart investment Expectations are high that the new instrument NAMA will foster scaled up GHG emission reductions in developing countries. Many countries are incorporating GHG metrics into sector development policies and programmes, with the aim of tapping on all types of climate finance domestic and international, public and private funding. The overall financial framework for mainstreaming of NAMAs are yet to be defined the GEF, GCF and other facilities will have to play a key role in this. In 2012, we are still in the process of identifying approaches and challenges for an efficient NAMA design to leverage public funding, catalyse private investment, and/or generate carbon revenue streams. 10.10.2012 Seite 12 Página 12
