International Workshop on Market Based Mechanisms and Results Based Finance

Stockholm, 11th October 2013 kl. 8.30–17.00 Rica Hotel Stockholm, (www.rica.se/hotelstockholm)

The Nordic Council of Ministers in

co-operation with KfW and NEFCO

wish to contribute to an increased

momentum for market based

mechanisms through focused

exchange and coordination among

potential first movers from the

finance sector, European policy

makers and further interested key

stakeholders.

These parties all have launched

pilot activities and projects in the

field of Framework for Various

Approaches/New Market Based

Mechanism/National Approriate

Mitigation Actions (FVA/NMM/

NAMA) and are eager to share and

discuss experiences with interested

stakeholders.

Organized by the Nordic Council of Ministers in

co-operation with Nordic Environment Finance Corporation

(NEFCO) and KfW Development Bank

This international workshop will build on the findings of

prior activities in this field, eg. the NOAK/NEFCO workshop

on NAMA financing (Helsinki Oct 2012) and the Roundtable

on New Market Based Mechanisms held by KfW/NEFCO in

cooperation with the EU Commission (Brussels May 2013).

With the experiences and conclusions from these events

as the point of departure and due consideration of progress

in climate negotiations we will focus on elements of key

importance in the intersection of the climate negotiations,

financing and implementation of market based approaches.

In particular, the results based financing (or payment for

performance) mechanisms using public funds to incentivise

climate action will be investigated.

COP19 Side event: Reducing emissions and growing the economy – the Nordic way

Date: November 15, 2013Time: 20:15–21:45Venue: Room Wroclaw, 2nd floor, zone B2, National Stadium, Warsaw

The Nordic countries are often seen as

green in respect of both a good environ-

ment and reduction of Greenhouse Gas

emissions. During the last decades,

the Nordic countries have implemented

ambitious energy and climate policies.

At the same time, economic growth has

been relatively strong – even through

the current economic crisis. How has this

been possible? What policies have been

the most effective? Can these policies be

implemented in other countries?

Within the framework of the Open Climate

Network and with support from the Nordic

Council of Ministers, think tanks from

Sweden, Norway and Denmark present

a report highlighting some of the more

efficient climate policies from the Nordic

countries.

Programme

Introduction Green growth the Nordic way Representative from the Nordic Council of Ministers

Presentation of the Open Climate Network Taryn Fransen, Project Director for Open Climate Network – World Resources Institute WRI is a global research organization that works closely with leaders to turn big ideas into action to sustain a healthy environment – the foundation of economic opportunity and human well-being.

Nordic Climate Policy – a case study on efficient policy measures This case study gives concrete examples of how packages of policies in combination with the natural resources of the Nordic region have been transformed into efficient policies for a specific area. The cases are:, District heating and low emitting cars in Sweden, wind power in Denmark and zero emission vehicles in Norway

Susanne Krawack, Chief consultant – Concito CONCITO is Denmark’s green think tank. Its purpose is to provide analyses and information on the best and most low-cost transition towards a climate-neutral society in Denmark and in other parts of the world. Jakop Dalunde, Programme director – Fores Fores is an independent Swedish research foundation, dedicated to fur-thering entrepreneurship and sustainable development through liberal solutions to societal challenges brought on by accelerated globalization and global warming. Camilla Skriung, Policy advisor – Zero Zero Emission Resource Organisation (ZERO) is an independent, non-profit organization working to limit human-induced climate change and to meet the world’s growing energy demand without harming the environment.

IEA’s Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives – A carbon-neutral energy system by 2050

Benjamin Donald Smith, Senior Advisor - Nordic Energy Research Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives explores the role of the energy system in achieving the long-term national climate goals of the five Nordic countries. The central scenario outlines the different technologies needed to reach a carbon-neutral Nordic energy system by 2050. The report was published earlier in 2013 by the IEA and Nordic Energy Research, and is the first regional edition of the IEA’s flagship publication Energy Technology Perspectives.

Nordic co-operationNordic co-operation is one of the world’s most extensive forms of regional collabora-tion, involving Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland. Nordic co-operation has firm traditions in politics, the economy, and culture. It plays an important role in European and interna-tional collaboration, and aims at creating a strong Nordic community in a strong Europe. Nordic co-operation seeks to safeguard Nordic and regional interests and principles in the global community. Common Nordic values help the region solidify its position as one of the world’s most innovative and competitive.

The Nordic Council of Ministers is the forum for Nordic governmental co-operation. The Prime Ministers have the overall responsibility for Nordic Co-operation. In practice, responsibility is delegated to the Ministers for Nordic Co-operation and to the Nordic Committee for Co-operation, which co-ordinates the day-to-day work of the official political Nordic co-operation.

The Nordic Council of Ministers’ Climate and Air Pollution Group (KoL) contributes to Nordic goals of limiting serious climate change and of preventing air pollution from damaging the environment or human health.
