Collaboration to Promote Climate Friendly Development
N. Vijay Jagannathan Secretary General CITYNET
Outline
• Lessons Learned so Far
• Is there a New Paradigm?
• Priorities and Opportunities
Rapid Increase in Carbon Emissions is focusing attention on Financing Strategies
Local air pollutants will also double by 2030
CO2 emissions will double for all countries by 2030

China
China accounts for 85% of CO2
Technologies that abate Carbon are Costly + Have Upfront Costs
Energy efficiency makes the largest contribution
Major expansion of low-carbon technologies also needed

Low Carbon Growth Path
Co-benefits is a Significant Part of the Narrative

Infrastructure investment
Reduce Pollution, Lower Energy Costs
1 Includes urban transport 2 Includes forests 3 Includes economy-wide innovation
Wider economy
Growing middle class aspires for better infrastructural services
The urban poor demand improved living standards
The Good News
• Technology to tackle local air pollution also leads to GHG abatement
• Improved Water Management also insures against natural disasters
Local Air/Water Pollution have Global Consequences
Pollution Symbolizes Governance Failures
Particulate matter concentrations in air for selected cities Annual mean PM10 ug/m3
Chinese PM: “Nature’s red-light warning against inefficient and blind development” Indian PM: “We need more Governance and Less Government

New Model of Urban Development: The NCE View
Compact urban growth
Connected infrastructure
Coordinated governance
Strategic planning and regulatory reform
Subsidy reform and new pricing mechanisms
New financing mechanisms
Effective and accountable institutions
Managed expansion, mixed-use urban form, good quality urban design
Smarter transport systems, smarter utilities, smart grids
Integrated land use and transport authorities, integrated planning, PPPs
Invest in Smart Planning
• From Moving Cars to Moving People Efficiently • Re-develop Brownfield sites to Compact Low
Carbon Cities • Build PPPs

With Support from Green Finance
Low-Emission
Projects
Financially
Attractive
Other gaps – information and capital market gaps,
coordination problems, etc
Not Financially
Attractive
Financial viability gap – project deliver negative net
present value
Alternative investments more attractive – the risk-
reward profile is not financially attractive as that of other
investment options
So that short term Viability Gaps are bridged
making
• Rebalancing distortions
• Monetizing the externalities benefits
The goal of Green Finance’s is to bridge the financing gap and improve the attractiveness of low emission investments
Build in Objective Metrics
Overview
• Validate outcomes or observed changes in GHG Emissions, along with long term “lock-in” trends:
Construction practices and urban sprawl monitoring
By current energy users throughout the economy

Imperatives of a low-carbon economy
Why/ What?
• Local governments respond directly to indicators
• Identify appropriate carbon intensity indicators
• Include indicators in local government performance evaluations
Examples of Possible Indicators:
• Carbon Emissions: Emissions/ capita, emission intensity
• Energy: Energy consumption/capita, share of renewable energy
• Green Buildings: Energy consumption per m2 in commercial and residential buildings
• Sustainable Transport: Share of green transport mode trips
• Smart Urban Form: Population density and mixed land use
Set Indicators to Measure Performance
Summing Up: Link Finance to Sustainable Outcomes
Green
• Adoption of Low Carbon
Pathway
• Elimination of air, land and
water Pollution
•Universal Access to Basic
