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

25.5.2012 Seite 13 Page 13

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

25.5.2012 Seite 14 Page 14

… generates comparable,

transparent information

… highlights lessons

and good practices

… supports decision-making

and national planning in the

host country

… supports implementation

of NAMAs and generates

feedback on NAMA

effectiveness

… promotes coordination and

communication amongst the

different emitting sectors

… facilitates the tracking of

progress towards achieving

mitigation goals

MRV of NAMAs

… increases the

likelihood of gaining

international support

Initiated in the Bali Action Plan, MRV (Measurement, Reporting,

Verification) is a key requirement under the UNFCCC.

The MRV approach …

25.5.2012 Seite 15 Page 15

3 steps for the elaboration of a MRV-system for

tNAMAs

Step 1

• Identify key parameters for the MRV approach

• Data requirements may differ depending on the type of NAMA (direct, indirect, process indicators)

Step 2

• Check data availability and needs

• Data has to be generated, gathered and updated

Step 3

• Develop a MRV process for mitigation effects of transport NAMAs

• Include co-benefits in the monitoring plan

Context of tNAMA: Renovation of HDV fleet

4-year presidential term has just started in 2010

Strong and decided support from national government

(including Presidential mandate)

Well-informed and pro-active key stakeholders in all

ministries

Second pilot NAMA on freight logistics (supported by

IADB) is complementary to HDV fleet renovation

Synergy to Mexican NAMA => South-South Cooperation

Other tNAMAs are currently being planned in Colombia

(e.g. urban mobility management)

tNAMA Fleet renovation: Barriers/obstacles/challenges

Data quality must be improved considerably (some steps have already been taken by various parties)

Some opportunities (i.e. plans for 10 ppm diesel sulphur content) have not been seized by government

Coordination of various actors takes longer (but yields better results)

Freight sector needs organizational enhancement to nurture all tNAMA developments via fleet renovation

government identifying timelines related to

diesel fuel quality
