Thimphu gears towards an intelligent transport system with model bus stopDec 14 2015
Minister of Information and Communications DN Dungyel and the UNDP Bhutan Deputy Resident Representative Niamh Collier-Smith inaugurating the bus stop
To make public transport in Thimphu comfortable efficient and desirable for commuters the
Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) inaugurated a model bus stop adjacent to
the Changjiji movie theater today The event also witnessed the launch of the Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) feasibility report ndash an action plan for improving urban transport in
Thimphu
Supported by the Low Emission Capacity Building project through the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) the bus stop features lighting and a 247 CCTV camera to
encourage safe and responsible commuting ndash especially for women and children -- and to
study the travel behavior of the passengers It also has an information board with a route map
and the location of the bus stop and can seat 48 people waiting for the bus There is also
wheelchair access
Speaking at the inaugural function of the bus stop Lyonpo DN Dhungyel the Minister of
Information and Communications (MoIC) said that managing the growing vehicular traffic in
Thimphu is becoming difficult with ldquo50 per cent of the total vehicles in the country in Thimphu
alonerdquo So far the Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) has registered 76000
vehicles in the country and private car ownership is steadily increasing This trend also
creates a challenge for the government to maintain its commitment to carbon neutrality as
records show that transport now accounts for 44 per cent of all energy-related Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions in Bhutan It is the global increase of GHG emissions that are causing
climate change
The model bus stop set up is one of the recommendations of the Intelligent Transport System
(ITS) feasibility study that was also supported through the LECB project which is funded by
the European Commission and the governments of Germany and Australia Sonam Y
Rabgye project focal point in UNDP said that lsquoit has been most satisfying to see the first bus
stop completed within few months of finalizing the ITS reportrsquo She also shared that UNDP is
working closely with other stakeholders like RSTA and Bhutan Post in improving the transport
sector through improvement of bus stop signage posts and piloting smart cards for
commuters
The Ministry in coordination with relevant stakeholders has committed to construct similar
bus stops in all the 105 remaining locations in Thimphu within the next few years with support
from the World Bank and other international assistance Further the Ministry is also exploring
possibilities of setting up Wi-Fi facilities at the bus stops for commuters to access mails and
work while waiting for the bus as well as to allow for real-time bus information to be
communicated to waiting commuters

ldquoThese facilities will have a significant impact on changing the model shift from private cars to
public transport in futurerdquo said Sonam Dendup project manager and the head of the Finance
and Administration Unit of the MoIC
The model bus stop was entirely constructed in Bhutan and features a uniquely national
design from architect Mr Phil Mac Master The roof of the bus stop is designed as a leaf to
signify the green and natural environment of Bhutan which forms one of the main pillars of
Gross National Happiness There is also a gold logo commemorating the 60 Birth
Anniversary of fourth Druk Gyalpo King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

conjunto con Procobre Chile firmaron un acuerdo de cooperacioacuten para
incentivar la actualizacioacuten en las nuevas necesidades de consumo de energiacutea
eleacutectrica a fin de buscar mejores condiciones de seguridad ahorro y
medioambiente para los empresarios y particulares del sector agro-
alimentario
A finales del antildeo 2014 Camchal ganoacute un proyecto en el marco de la Iniciativa
Internacional para la Proteccioacuten del Clima (IKI) Eacutesta iniciada y financiada por
el Ministerio Federal de Medio Ambiente Conservacioacuten de la Naturaleza y
Seguridad Nuclear (BMUB) tiene como objetivo impulsar y fomentar
actividades que aportan a la proteccioacuten del clima a nivel mundial
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la
competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la
implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Asiacute lo comentoacute Juan Pablo Hess presidente de Camchal ldquoeste proyecto es
muy importante para nosotros porque promueve el desarrollo de un paiacutes
sustentable y preocupado por el medio ambiente Queremos apoyar a las
empresas del sector a mejorar su capacidad de reducir sus emisiones de C02
a traveacutes del apoyo para la implementacioacuten de medidas de EE y la estimulacioacuten
de realizar la medicioacuten y verificacioacuten de la optimizacioacuten energeacutetica logradardquo
El sector marcado por una alta tasa de exportaciones tiene un doble desafiacuteo
que enfrentar por un lado deben competir con mercados productores
internacionales que tienen costos de mano de obra y energiacutea maacutes bajo Por
otro tienen que cumplir con los estaacutendares requeridos por los consumidores
cada vez maacutes exigentes referentes al tema de la huella de carbono y una
produccioacuten maacutes limpia
Bajando el consumo de energiacutea las empresas podraacuten beneficiarse con una
rebaja de sus costos Ademaacutes conseguiraacuten tener una reduccioacuten en sus
emisiones de C02 y -por ende- una diminucioacuten de la huella de carbono A
nivel nacional la necesidad es alta y existe el desafiacuteo de informar y explicar
queacute es la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y lo que pueden lograr con ella
Con el apoyo de Procobre se busca favorecer una cultura de Eficiencia
Energeacutetica con iniciativas de normalizacioacuten y difusioacuten relacionadas con la
implementacioacuten de tecnologiacuteas que permitan eficientar la cantidad de energiacutea
utilizada y promover el desarrollo de proyectos con los principales beneficios
del cobre y coacutemo eacuteste puede ayudar en el ahorro y disminucioacuten de emisiones

Estaacutendar no necesariamente eficiente y un producto Premium de alta
eficiencia Esto se debe a que el cobre tiene extraordinarias propiedades de

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster
to catch up

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Thimphu gears towards an intelligent transport system with model bus stopDec 14 2015
Minister of Information and Communications DN Dungyel and the UNDP Bhutan Deputy Resident Representative Niamh Collier-Smith inaugurating the bus stop
To make public transport in Thimphu comfortable efficient and desirable for commuters the
Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) inaugurated a model bus stop adjacent to
the Changjiji movie theater today The event also witnessed the launch of the Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) feasibility report ndash an action plan for improving urban transport in
Thimphu
Supported by the Low Emission Capacity Building project through the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) the bus stop features lighting and a 247 CCTV camera to
encourage safe and responsible commuting ndash especially for women and children -- and to
study the travel behavior of the passengers It also has an information board with a route map
and the location of the bus stop and can seat 48 people waiting for the bus There is also
wheelchair access
Speaking at the inaugural function of the bus stop Lyonpo DN Dhungyel the Minister of
Information and Communications (MoIC) said that managing the growing vehicular traffic in
Thimphu is becoming difficult with ldquo50 per cent of the total vehicles in the country in Thimphu
alonerdquo So far the Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) has registered 76000
vehicles in the country and private car ownership is steadily increasing This trend also
creates a challenge for the government to maintain its commitment to carbon neutrality as
records show that transport now accounts for 44 per cent of all energy-related Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions in Bhutan It is the global increase of GHG emissions that are causing
climate change
The model bus stop set up is one of the recommendations of the Intelligent Transport System
(ITS) feasibility study that was also supported through the LECB project which is funded by
the European Commission and the governments of Germany and Australia Sonam Y
Rabgye project focal point in UNDP said that lsquoit has been most satisfying to see the first bus
stop completed within few months of finalizing the ITS reportrsquo She also shared that UNDP is
working closely with other stakeholders like RSTA and Bhutan Post in improving the transport
sector through improvement of bus stop signage posts and piloting smart cards for
commuters
The Ministry in coordination with relevant stakeholders has committed to construct similar
bus stops in all the 105 remaining locations in Thimphu within the next few years with support
from the World Bank and other international assistance Further the Ministry is also exploring
possibilities of setting up Wi-Fi facilities at the bus stops for commuters to access mails and
work while waiting for the bus as well as to allow for real-time bus information to be
communicated to waiting commuters

ldquoThese facilities will have a significant impact on changing the model shift from private cars to
public transport in futurerdquo said Sonam Dendup project manager and the head of the Finance
and Administration Unit of the MoIC
The model bus stop was entirely constructed in Bhutan and features a uniquely national
design from architect Mr Phil Mac Master The roof of the bus stop is designed as a leaf to
signify the green and natural environment of Bhutan which forms one of the main pillars of
Gross National Happiness There is also a gold logo commemorating the 60 Birth
Anniversary of fourth Druk Gyalpo King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015- La Camara chileno-Alemana en
conjunto con Procobre Chile firmaron un acuerdo de cooperacioacuten para
incentivar la actualizacioacuten en las nuevas necesidades de consumo de energiacutea
eleacutectrica a fin de buscar mejores condiciones de seguridad ahorro y
medioambiente para los empresarios y particulares del sector agro-
alimentario
A finales del antildeo 2014 Camchal ganoacute un proyecto en el marco de la Iniciativa
Internacional para la Proteccioacuten del Clima (IKI) Eacutesta iniciada y financiada por
el Ministerio Federal de Medio Ambiente Conservacioacuten de la Naturaleza y
Seguridad Nuclear (BMUB) tiene como objetivo impulsar y fomentar
actividades que aportan a la proteccioacuten del clima a nivel mundial
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la
competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la
implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Asiacute lo comentoacute Juan Pablo Hess presidente de Camchal ldquoeste proyecto es
muy importante para nosotros porque promueve el desarrollo de un paiacutes
sustentable y preocupado por el medio ambiente Queremos apoyar a las
empresas del sector a mejorar su capacidad de reducir sus emisiones de C02
a traveacutes del apoyo para la implementacioacuten de medidas de EE y la estimulacioacuten
de realizar la medicioacuten y verificacioacuten de la optimizacioacuten energeacutetica logradardquo
El sector marcado por una alta tasa de exportaciones tiene un doble desafiacuteo
que enfrentar por un lado deben competir con mercados productores
internacionales que tienen costos de mano de obra y energiacutea maacutes bajo Por
otro tienen que cumplir con los estaacutendares requeridos por los consumidores
cada vez maacutes exigentes referentes al tema de la huella de carbono y una
produccioacuten maacutes limpia
Bajando el consumo de energiacutea las empresas podraacuten beneficiarse con una
rebaja de sus costos Ademaacutes conseguiraacuten tener una reduccioacuten en sus
emisiones de C02 y -por ende- una diminucioacuten de la huella de carbono A
nivel nacional la necesidad es alta y existe el desafiacuteo de informar y explicar
queacute es la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y lo que pueden lograr con ella
Con el apoyo de Procobre se busca favorecer una cultura de Eficiencia
Energeacutetica con iniciativas de normalizacioacuten y difusioacuten relacionadas con la
implementacioacuten de tecnologiacuteas que permitan eficientar la cantidad de energiacutea
utilizada y promover el desarrollo de proyectos con los principales beneficios
del cobre y coacutemo eacuteste puede ayudar en el ahorro y disminucioacuten de emisiones

sentido el convenio con la Camchal es un gran avance ya que nos permitiraacute
apoyarnos y apalancarnos en tareas comunes Podremos informar y
ldquoculturalizarrdquo a las empresas con respecto a la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y su
importancia en el mundo
A lo que agregoacute ldquoEl cobre y la existencia de mayores cantidades (de lo
miacutenimo requerido) es lo que hace la diferencia entre un producto eleacutectrico
Estaacutendar no necesariamente eficiente y un producto Premium de alta
eficiencia Esto se debe a que el cobre tiene extraordinarias propiedades de
conduccioacuten eleacutectrica que aumentan los niveles de eficiencia energeacutetica de los
productos eleacutectricosrdquo

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day
More than 1000 people participated in a biking activity in HCM Citys District 7 on May 30 to mark the annual World Environment Day (June 5)

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Thimphu gears towards an intelligent transport system with model bus stopDec 14 2015
Minister of Information and Communications DN Dungyel and the UNDP Bhutan Deputy Resident Representative Niamh Collier-Smith inaugurating the bus stop
To make public transport in Thimphu comfortable efficient and desirable for commuters the
Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) inaugurated a model bus stop adjacent to
the Changjiji movie theater today The event also witnessed the launch of the Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) feasibility report ndash an action plan for improving urban transport in
Thimphu
Supported by the Low Emission Capacity Building project through the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) the bus stop features lighting and a 247 CCTV camera to
encourage safe and responsible commuting ndash especially for women and children -- and to
study the travel behavior of the passengers It also has an information board with a route map
and the location of the bus stop and can seat 48 people waiting for the bus There is also
wheelchair access
Speaking at the inaugural function of the bus stop Lyonpo DN Dhungyel the Minister of
Information and Communications (MoIC) said that managing the growing vehicular traffic in
Thimphu is becoming difficult with ldquo50 per cent of the total vehicles in the country in Thimphu
alonerdquo So far the Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) has registered 76000
vehicles in the country and private car ownership is steadily increasing This trend also
creates a challenge for the government to maintain its commitment to carbon neutrality as
records show that transport now accounts for 44 per cent of all energy-related Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions in Bhutan It is the global increase of GHG emissions that are causing
climate change
The model bus stop set up is one of the recommendations of the Intelligent Transport System
(ITS) feasibility study that was also supported through the LECB project which is funded by
the European Commission and the governments of Germany and Australia Sonam Y
Rabgye project focal point in UNDP said that lsquoit has been most satisfying to see the first bus
stop completed within few months of finalizing the ITS reportrsquo She also shared that UNDP is
working closely with other stakeholders like RSTA and Bhutan Post in improving the transport
sector through improvement of bus stop signage posts and piloting smart cards for
commuters
The Ministry in coordination with relevant stakeholders has committed to construct similar
bus stops in all the 105 remaining locations in Thimphu within the next few years with support
from the World Bank and other international assistance Further the Ministry is also exploring
possibilities of setting up Wi-Fi facilities at the bus stops for commuters to access mails and
work while waiting for the bus as well as to allow for real-time bus information to be
communicated to waiting commuters

ldquoThese facilities will have a significant impact on changing the model shift from private cars to
public transport in futurerdquo said Sonam Dendup project manager and the head of the Finance
and Administration Unit of the MoIC
The model bus stop was entirely constructed in Bhutan and features a uniquely national
design from architect Mr Phil Mac Master The roof of the bus stop is designed as a leaf to
signify the green and natural environment of Bhutan which forms one of the main pillars of
Gross National Happiness There is also a gold logo commemorating the 60 Birth
Anniversary of fourth Druk Gyalpo King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

conjunto con Procobre Chile firmaron un acuerdo de cooperacioacuten para
incentivar la actualizacioacuten en las nuevas necesidades de consumo de energiacutea
eleacutectrica a fin de buscar mejores condiciones de seguridad ahorro y
medioambiente para los empresarios y particulares del sector agro-
alimentario
A finales del antildeo 2014 Camchal ganoacute un proyecto en el marco de la Iniciativa

actividades que aportan a la proteccioacuten del clima a nivel mundial
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la
competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la
implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Asiacute lo comentoacute Juan Pablo Hess presidente de Camchal ldquoeste proyecto es
muy importante para nosotros porque promueve el desarrollo de un paiacutes
sustentable y preocupado por el medio ambiente Queremos apoyar a las
empresas del sector a mejorar su capacidad de reducir sus emisiones de C02

de realizar la medicioacuten y verificacioacuten de la optimizacioacuten energeacutetica logradardquo
El sector marcado por una alta tasa de exportaciones tiene un doble desafiacuteo
que enfrentar por un lado deben competir con mercados productores
internacionales que tienen costos de mano de obra y energiacutea maacutes bajo Por
otro tienen que cumplir con los estaacutendares requeridos por los consumidores
cada vez maacutes exigentes referentes al tema de la huella de carbono y una
produccioacuten maacutes limpia
Bajando el consumo de energiacutea las empresas podraacuten beneficiarse con una
rebaja de sus costos Ademaacutes conseguiraacuten tener una reduccioacuten en sus
emisiones de C02 y -por ende- una diminucioacuten de la huella de carbono A
nivel nacional la necesidad es alta y existe el desafiacuteo de informar y explicar

Con el apoyo de Procobre se busca favorecer una cultura de Eficiencia
Energeacutetica con iniciativas de normalizacioacuten y difusioacuten relacionadas con la
implementacioacuten de tecnologiacuteas que permitan eficientar la cantidad de energiacutea

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Thimphu gears towards an intelligent transport system with model bus stopDec 14 2015
Minister of Information and Communications DN Dungyel and the UNDP Bhutan Deputy Resident Representative Niamh Collier-Smith inaugurating the bus stop
To make public transport in Thimphu comfortable efficient and desirable for commuters the
Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) inaugurated a model bus stop adjacent to
the Changjiji movie theater today The event also witnessed the launch of the Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) feasibility report ndash an action plan for improving urban transport in
Thimphu
Supported by the Low Emission Capacity Building project through the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) the bus stop features lighting and a 247 CCTV camera to
encourage safe and responsible commuting ndash especially for women and children -- and to
study the travel behavior of the passengers It also has an information board with a route map
and the location of the bus stop and can seat 48 people waiting for the bus There is also
wheelchair access
Speaking at the inaugural function of the bus stop Lyonpo DN Dhungyel the Minister of
Information and Communications (MoIC) said that managing the growing vehicular traffic in
Thimphu is becoming difficult with ldquo50 per cent of the total vehicles in the country in Thimphu
alonerdquo So far the Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) has registered 76000
vehicles in the country and private car ownership is steadily increasing This trend also
creates a challenge for the government to maintain its commitment to carbon neutrality as
records show that transport now accounts for 44 per cent of all energy-related Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions in Bhutan It is the global increase of GHG emissions that are causing
climate change
The model bus stop set up is one of the recommendations of the Intelligent Transport System
(ITS) feasibility study that was also supported through the LECB project which is funded by
the European Commission and the governments of Germany and Australia Sonam Y
Rabgye project focal point in UNDP said that lsquoit has been most satisfying to see the first bus
stop completed within few months of finalizing the ITS reportrsquo She also shared that UNDP is
working closely with other stakeholders like RSTA and Bhutan Post in improving the transport
sector through improvement of bus stop signage posts and piloting smart cards for
commuters
The Ministry in coordination with relevant stakeholders has committed to construct similar
bus stops in all the 105 remaining locations in Thimphu within the next few years with support
from the World Bank and other international assistance Further the Ministry is also exploring
possibilities of setting up Wi-Fi facilities at the bus stops for commuters to access mails and
work while waiting for the bus as well as to allow for real-time bus information to be
communicated to waiting commuters

ldquoThese facilities will have a significant impact on changing the model shift from private cars to
public transport in futurerdquo said Sonam Dendup project manager and the head of the Finance
and Administration Unit of the MoIC
The model bus stop was entirely constructed in Bhutan and features a uniquely national
design from architect Mr Phil Mac Master The roof of the bus stop is designed as a leaf to
signify the green and natural environment of Bhutan which forms one of the main pillars of
Gross National Happiness There is also a gold logo commemorating the 60 Birth
Anniversary of fourth Druk Gyalpo King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day
More than 1000 people participated in a biking activity in HCM Citys District 7 on May 30 to mark the annual World Environment Day (June 5)

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Thimphu gears towards an intelligent transport system with model bus stopDec 14 2015
Minister of Information and Communications DN Dungyel and the UNDP Bhutan Deputy Resident Representative Niamh Collier-Smith inaugurating the bus stop
To make public transport in Thimphu comfortable efficient and desirable for commuters the
Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) inaugurated a model bus stop adjacent to
the Changjiji movie theater today The event also witnessed the launch of the Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) feasibility report ndash an action plan for improving urban transport in
Thimphu
Supported by the Low Emission Capacity Building project through the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) the bus stop features lighting and a 247 CCTV camera to
encourage safe and responsible commuting ndash especially for women and children -- and to
study the travel behavior of the passengers It also has an information board with a route map
and the location of the bus stop and can seat 48 people waiting for the bus There is also
wheelchair access
Speaking at the inaugural function of the bus stop Lyonpo DN Dhungyel the Minister of
Information and Communications (MoIC) said that managing the growing vehicular traffic in
Thimphu is becoming difficult with ldquo50 per cent of the total vehicles in the country in Thimphu
alonerdquo So far the Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) has registered 76000
vehicles in the country and private car ownership is steadily increasing This trend also
creates a challenge for the government to maintain its commitment to carbon neutrality as
records show that transport now accounts for 44 per cent of all energy-related Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions in Bhutan It is the global increase of GHG emissions that are causing
climate change
The model bus stop set up is one of the recommendations of the Intelligent Transport System
(ITS) feasibility study that was also supported through the LECB project which is funded by
the European Commission and the governments of Germany and Australia Sonam Y
Rabgye project focal point in UNDP said that lsquoit has been most satisfying to see the first bus
stop completed within few months of finalizing the ITS reportrsquo She also shared that UNDP is
working closely with other stakeholders like RSTA and Bhutan Post in improving the transport
sector through improvement of bus stop signage posts and piloting smart cards for
commuters
The Ministry in coordination with relevant stakeholders has committed to construct similar
bus stops in all the 105 remaining locations in Thimphu within the next few years with support
from the World Bank and other international assistance Further the Ministry is also exploring
possibilities of setting up Wi-Fi facilities at the bus stops for commuters to access mails and
work while waiting for the bus as well as to allow for real-time bus information to be
communicated to waiting commuters

ldquoThese facilities will have a significant impact on changing the model shift from private cars to
public transport in futurerdquo said Sonam Dendup project manager and the head of the Finance
and Administration Unit of the MoIC
The model bus stop was entirely constructed in Bhutan and features a uniquely national
design from architect Mr Phil Mac Master The roof of the bus stop is designed as a leaf to
signify the green and natural environment of Bhutan which forms one of the main pillars of
Gross National Happiness There is also a gold logo commemorating the 60 Birth
Anniversary of fourth Druk Gyalpo King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Thimphu gears towards an intelligent transport system with model bus stopDec 14 2015
Minister of Information and Communications DN Dungyel and the UNDP Bhutan Deputy Resident Representative Niamh Collier-Smith inaugurating the bus stop
To make public transport in Thimphu comfortable efficient and desirable for commuters the
Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) inaugurated a model bus stop adjacent to
the Changjiji movie theater today The event also witnessed the launch of the Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) feasibility report ndash an action plan for improving urban transport in
Thimphu
Supported by the Low Emission Capacity Building project through the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) the bus stop features lighting and a 247 CCTV camera to
encourage safe and responsible commuting ndash especially for women and children -- and to
study the travel behavior of the passengers It also has an information board with a route map
and the location of the bus stop and can seat 48 people waiting for the bus There is also
wheelchair access
Speaking at the inaugural function of the bus stop Lyonpo DN Dhungyel the Minister of
Information and Communications (MoIC) said that managing the growing vehicular traffic in
Thimphu is becoming difficult with ldquo50 per cent of the total vehicles in the country in Thimphu
alonerdquo So far the Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) has registered 76000
vehicles in the country and private car ownership is steadily increasing This trend also
creates a challenge for the government to maintain its commitment to carbon neutrality as
records show that transport now accounts for 44 per cent of all energy-related Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions in Bhutan It is the global increase of GHG emissions that are causing
climate change
The model bus stop set up is one of the recommendations of the Intelligent Transport System
(ITS) feasibility study that was also supported through the LECB project which is funded by
the European Commission and the governments of Germany and Australia Sonam Y
Rabgye project focal point in UNDP said that lsquoit has been most satisfying to see the first bus
stop completed within few months of finalizing the ITS reportrsquo She also shared that UNDP is
working closely with other stakeholders like RSTA and Bhutan Post in improving the transport
sector through improvement of bus stop signage posts and piloting smart cards for
commuters
The Ministry in coordination with relevant stakeholders has committed to construct similar
bus stops in all the 105 remaining locations in Thimphu within the next few years with support
from the World Bank and other international assistance Further the Ministry is also exploring
possibilities of setting up Wi-Fi facilities at the bus stops for commuters to access mails and
work while waiting for the bus as well as to allow for real-time bus information to be
communicated to waiting commuters

ldquoThese facilities will have a significant impact on changing the model shift from private cars to
public transport in futurerdquo said Sonam Dendup project manager and the head of the Finance
and Administration Unit of the MoIC
The model bus stop was entirely constructed in Bhutan and features a uniquely national
design from architect Mr Phil Mac Master The roof of the bus stop is designed as a leaf to
signify the green and natural environment of Bhutan which forms one of the main pillars of
Gross National Happiness There is also a gold logo commemorating the 60 Birth
Anniversary of fourth Druk Gyalpo King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day
More than 1000 people participated in a biking activity in HCM Citys District 7 on May 30 to mark the annual World Environment Day (June 5)

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Chile
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015- La Camara chileno-Alemana en
conjunto con Procobre Chile firmaron un acuerdo de cooperacioacuten para
incentivar la actualizacioacuten en las nuevas necesidades de consumo de energiacutea
eleacutectrica a fin de buscar mejores condiciones de seguridad ahorro y
medioambiente para los empresarios y particulares del sector agro-
alimentario
A finales del antildeo 2014 Camchal ganoacute un proyecto en el marco de la Iniciativa
Internacional para la Proteccioacuten del Clima (IKI) Eacutesta iniciada y financiada por
el Ministerio Federal de Medio Ambiente Conservacioacuten de la Naturaleza y
Seguridad Nuclear (BMUB) tiene como objetivo impulsar y fomentar
actividades que aportan a la proteccioacuten del clima a nivel mundial
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la
competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la
implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Asiacute lo comentoacute Juan Pablo Hess presidente de Camchal ldquoeste proyecto es
muy importante para nosotros porque promueve el desarrollo de un paiacutes
sustentable y preocupado por el medio ambiente Queremos apoyar a las
empresas del sector a mejorar su capacidad de reducir sus emisiones de C02
a traveacutes del apoyo para la implementacioacuten de medidas de EE y la estimulacioacuten
de realizar la medicioacuten y verificacioacuten de la optimizacioacuten energeacutetica logradardquo
El sector marcado por una alta tasa de exportaciones tiene un doble desafiacuteo
que enfrentar por un lado deben competir con mercados productores
internacionales que tienen costos de mano de obra y energiacutea maacutes bajo Por
otro tienen que cumplir con los estaacutendares requeridos por los consumidores
cada vez maacutes exigentes referentes al tema de la huella de carbono y una
produccioacuten maacutes limpia
Bajando el consumo de energiacutea las empresas podraacuten beneficiarse con una
rebaja de sus costos Ademaacutes conseguiraacuten tener una reduccioacuten en sus
emisiones de C02 y -por ende- una diminucioacuten de la huella de carbono A
nivel nacional la necesidad es alta y existe el desafiacuteo de informar y explicar
queacute es la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y lo que pueden lograr con ella
Con el apoyo de Procobre se busca favorecer una cultura de Eficiencia
Energeacutetica con iniciativas de normalizacioacuten y difusioacuten relacionadas con la
implementacioacuten de tecnologiacuteas que permitan eficientar la cantidad de energiacutea
utilizada y promover el desarrollo de proyectos con los principales beneficios
del cobre y coacutemo eacuteste puede ayudar en el ahorro y disminucioacuten de emisiones
C02 en el paiacutes
Como por ejemplo los Motores industriales con mayores iacutendices de cobre
tienen menores perdidas de energiacutea que los motores convencionales y por
ende contribuyen a un uso eficiente de la energiacutea Por lo tanto la utilizacioacuten
de motores eficientes cuyos principales componentes son de cobre

Marcos Sepuacutelveda director ejecutivo de Procobre comentoacute ldquoel trabajo
conjunto y alineado de los stakeholders en torno a un objetivo es clave para
utilizar los recursos de manera eficiente y lograr mejores resultados en este
sentido el convenio con la Camchal es un gran avance ya que nos permitiraacute
apoyarnos y apalancarnos en tareas comunes Podremos informar y
ldquoculturalizarrdquo a las empresas con respecto a la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y su
importancia en el mundo
A lo que agregoacute ldquoEl cobre y la existencia de mayores cantidades (de lo
miacutenimo requerido) es lo que hace la diferencia entre un producto eleacutectrico
Estaacutendar no necesariamente eficiente y un producto Premium de alta
eficiencia Esto se debe a que el cobre tiene extraordinarias propiedades de
conduccioacuten eleacutectrica que aumentan los niveles de eficiencia energeacutetica de los
productos eleacutectricosrdquo

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Chile
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015- La Camara chileno-Alemana en
conjunto con Procobre Chile firmaron un acuerdo de cooperacioacuten para
incentivar la actualizacioacuten en las nuevas necesidades de consumo de energiacutea
eleacutectrica a fin de buscar mejores condiciones de seguridad ahorro y
medioambiente para los empresarios y particulares del sector agro-
alimentario
A finales del antildeo 2014 Camchal ganoacute un proyecto en el marco de la Iniciativa
Internacional para la Proteccioacuten del Clima (IKI) Eacutesta iniciada y financiada por
el Ministerio Federal de Medio Ambiente Conservacioacuten de la Naturaleza y
Seguridad Nuclear (BMUB) tiene como objetivo impulsar y fomentar
actividades que aportan a la proteccioacuten del clima a nivel mundial
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la
competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la
implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Asiacute lo comentoacute Juan Pablo Hess presidente de Camchal ldquoeste proyecto es
muy importante para nosotros porque promueve el desarrollo de un paiacutes
sustentable y preocupado por el medio ambiente Queremos apoyar a las
empresas del sector a mejorar su capacidad de reducir sus emisiones de C02
a traveacutes del apoyo para la implementacioacuten de medidas de EE y la estimulacioacuten
de realizar la medicioacuten y verificacioacuten de la optimizacioacuten energeacutetica logradardquo
El sector marcado por una alta tasa de exportaciones tiene un doble desafiacuteo
que enfrentar por un lado deben competir con mercados productores
internacionales que tienen costos de mano de obra y energiacutea maacutes bajo Por
otro tienen que cumplir con los estaacutendares requeridos por los consumidores
cada vez maacutes exigentes referentes al tema de la huella de carbono y una
produccioacuten maacutes limpia
Bajando el consumo de energiacutea las empresas podraacuten beneficiarse con una
rebaja de sus costos Ademaacutes conseguiraacuten tener una reduccioacuten en sus
emisiones de C02 y -por ende- una diminucioacuten de la huella de carbono A
nivel nacional la necesidad es alta y existe el desafiacuteo de informar y explicar
queacute es la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y lo que pueden lograr con ella
Con el apoyo de Procobre se busca favorecer una cultura de Eficiencia
Energeacutetica con iniciativas de normalizacioacuten y difusioacuten relacionadas con la
implementacioacuten de tecnologiacuteas que permitan eficientar la cantidad de energiacutea
utilizada y promover el desarrollo de proyectos con los principales beneficios
del cobre y coacutemo eacuteste puede ayudar en el ahorro y disminucioacuten de emisiones
C02 en el paiacutes
Como por ejemplo los Motores industriales con mayores iacutendices de cobre
tienen menores perdidas de energiacutea que los motores convencionales y por
ende contribuyen a un uso eficiente de la energiacutea Por lo tanto la utilizacioacuten
de motores eficientes cuyos principales componentes son de cobre

Marcos Sepuacutelveda director ejecutivo de Procobre comentoacute ldquoel trabajo
conjunto y alineado de los stakeholders en torno a un objetivo es clave para
utilizar los recursos de manera eficiente y lograr mejores resultados en este
sentido el convenio con la Camchal es un gran avance ya que nos permitiraacute
apoyarnos y apalancarnos en tareas comunes Podremos informar y

importancia en el mundo
A lo que agregoacute ldquoEl cobre y la existencia de mayores cantidades (de lo
miacutenimo requerido) es lo que hace la diferencia entre un producto eleacutectrico
Estaacutendar no necesariamente eficiente y un producto Premium de alta
eficiencia Esto se debe a que el cobre tiene extraordinarias propiedades de

Con los PEC se superan los enfoques convencionales de cooperacioacuten ya que se fortalece la gestioacuten comunitaria apo-yo a las comunidades al tiempo que los gobiernos locales reciben servicios de capacitacioacuten y respaldo en la ejecucioacuten de proyectos
La innovacioacuten de los PEC consiste en que la comunidad decide en cuaacuteles obras invertiraacute los recursos disponibles realiza los procesos de contratacioacuten y asume toda la responsabilidad en las actividades ad-ministrativas logiacutesticas y teacutecnicas para ejecutar y llevar a cabo su proyecto siem-pre manteniendo la calidad de la obra

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

December 2 2015 | UPDATED 1233 IST
When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

UNDP FAO TO SCALE UP ASSISTANCE TO
COUNTRIES ON ADDRESSING CLIMATE
CHANGE RISKS IN AGRICULTUREPhoto copyFAODaniel Hayduk

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both

In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

promover la eficiencia energeacutetica en empresas
Chile
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015-Mieacutercoles 09 de Septiembre de 2015- La Camara chileno-Alemana en
conjunto con Procobre Chile firmaron un acuerdo de cooperacioacuten para
incentivar la actualizacioacuten en las nuevas necesidades de consumo de energiacutea
eleacutectrica a fin de buscar mejores condiciones de seguridad ahorro y
medioambiente para los empresarios y particulares del sector agro-
alimentario
A finales del antildeo 2014 Camchal ganoacute un proyecto en el marco de la Iniciativa
Internacional para la Proteccioacuten del Clima (IKI) Eacutesta iniciada y financiada por
el Ministerio Federal de Medio Ambiente Conservacioacuten de la Naturaleza y
Seguridad Nuclear (BMUB) tiene como objetivo impulsar y fomentar
actividades que aportan a la proteccioacuten del clima a nivel mundial
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la
competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la
implementacioacuten de medidas de Eficiencia Energeacutetica
Asiacute lo comentoacute Juan Pablo Hess presidente de Camchal ldquoeste proyecto es
muy importante para nosotros porque promueve el desarrollo de un paiacutes
sustentable y preocupado por el medio ambiente Queremos apoyar a las
empresas del sector a mejorar su capacidad de reducir sus emisiones de C02
a traveacutes del apoyo para la implementacioacuten de medidas de EE y la estimulacioacuten
de realizar la medicioacuten y verificacioacuten de la optimizacioacuten energeacutetica logradardquo
El sector marcado por una alta tasa de exportaciones tiene un doble desafiacuteo
que enfrentar por un lado deben competir con mercados productores
internacionales que tienen costos de mano de obra y energiacutea maacutes bajo Por
otro tienen que cumplir con los estaacutendares requeridos por los consumidores
cada vez maacutes exigentes referentes al tema de la huella de carbono y una
produccioacuten maacutes limpia
Bajando el consumo de energiacutea las empresas podraacuten beneficiarse con una
rebaja de sus costos Ademaacutes conseguiraacuten tener una reduccioacuten en sus
emisiones de C02 y -por ende- una diminucioacuten de la huella de carbono A
nivel nacional la necesidad es alta y existe el desafiacuteo de informar y explicar
queacute es la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y lo que pueden lograr con ella
Con el apoyo de Procobre se busca favorecer una cultura de Eficiencia
Energeacutetica con iniciativas de normalizacioacuten y difusioacuten relacionadas con la
implementacioacuten de tecnologiacuteas que permitan eficientar la cantidad de energiacutea
utilizada y promover el desarrollo de proyectos con los principales beneficios
del cobre y coacutemo eacuteste puede ayudar en el ahorro y disminucioacuten de emisiones
C02 en el paiacutes
Como por ejemplo los Motores industriales con mayores iacutendices de cobre
tienen menores perdidas de energiacutea que los motores convencionales y por
ende contribuyen a un uso eficiente de la energiacutea Por lo tanto la utilizacioacuten
de motores eficientes cuyos principales componentes son de cobre

Marcos Sepuacutelveda director ejecutivo de Procobre comentoacute ldquoel trabajo
conjunto y alineado de los stakeholders en torno a un objetivo es clave para
utilizar los recursos de manera eficiente y lograr mejores resultados en este
sentido el convenio con la Camchal es un gran avance ya que nos permitiraacute
apoyarnos y apalancarnos en tareas comunes Podremos informar y
ldquoculturalizarrdquo a las empresas con respecto a la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y su
importancia en el mundo
A lo que agregoacute ldquoEl cobre y la existencia de mayores cantidades (de lo
miacutenimo requerido) es lo que hace la diferencia entre un producto eleacutectrico
Estaacutendar no necesariamente eficiente y un producto Premium de alta
eficiencia Esto se debe a que el cobre tiene extraordinarias propiedades de
conduccioacuten eleacutectrica que aumentan los niveles de eficiencia energeacutetica de los
productos eleacutectricosrdquo

dana transparencia calidad de la obra y rendicioacuten de cuentas para asegurar la sustentabilidad de las infraestructu-ras desarrolladas Esa metodologiacutea hoy en diacutea es conocida como ldquoProyectos Ejecutados por la Comunidadrdquo (PEC)
Con los PEC se superan los enfoques convencionales de cooperacioacuten ya que se fortalece la gestioacuten comunitaria apo-yo a las comunidades al tiempo que los gobiernos locales reciben servicios de capacitacioacuten y respaldo en la ejecucioacuten de proyectos
La innovacioacuten de los PEC consiste en que la comunidad decide en cuaacuteles obras invertiraacute los recursos disponibles realiza los procesos de contratacioacuten y asume toda la responsabilidad en las actividades ad-ministrativas logiacutesticas y teacutecnicas para ejecutar y llevar a cabo su proyecto siem-pre manteniendo la calidad de la obra
Entre 2008 y 2015 el FISDL con el apoyo del Gobierno Alemaacuten ha desarro-llado maacutes de 150 PEC en los municipios maacutes pobres del paiacutes por un valor apro-ximado de $30 millones de doacutelares en rubros como infraestructura escolar unidades de salud electrificacioacuten ca-minos vecinales y agua potable

more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

December 2 2015 | UPDATED 1233 IST
When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

conjunto con Procobre Chile firmaron un acuerdo de cooperacioacuten para
incentivar la actualizacioacuten en las nuevas necesidades de consumo de energiacutea
eleacutectrica a fin de buscar mejores condiciones de seguridad ahorro y
medioambiente para los empresarios y particulares del sector agro-
alimentario
A finales del antildeo 2014 Camchal ganoacute un proyecto en el marco de la Iniciativa

actividades que aportan a la proteccioacuten del clima a nivel mundial
El proyecto Smart Energy Concepts tiene como principal objetivo aumentar la
competitividad del sector agro-alimentario chileno a traveacutes de la

Asiacute lo comentoacute Juan Pablo Hess presidente de Camchal ldquoeste proyecto es
muy importante para nosotros porque promueve el desarrollo de un paiacutes
sustentable y preocupado por el medio ambiente Queremos apoyar a las
empresas del sector a mejorar su capacidad de reducir sus emisiones de C02

de realizar la medicioacuten y verificacioacuten de la optimizacioacuten energeacutetica logradardquo
El sector marcado por una alta tasa de exportaciones tiene un doble desafiacuteo
que enfrentar por un lado deben competir con mercados productores
internacionales que tienen costos de mano de obra y energiacutea maacutes bajo Por
otro tienen que cumplir con los estaacutendares requeridos por los consumidores
cada vez maacutes exigentes referentes al tema de la huella de carbono y una
produccioacuten maacutes limpia
Bajando el consumo de energiacutea las empresas podraacuten beneficiarse con una
rebaja de sus costos Ademaacutes conseguiraacuten tener una reduccioacuten en sus
emisiones de C02 y -por ende- una diminucioacuten de la huella de carbono A
nivel nacional la necesidad es alta y existe el desafiacuteo de informar y explicar
queacute es la Eficiencia Energeacutetica y lo que pueden lograr con ella
Con el apoyo de Procobre se busca favorecer una cultura de Eficiencia
Energeacutetica con iniciativas de normalizacioacuten y difusioacuten relacionadas con la
implementacioacuten de tecnologiacuteas que permitan eficientar la cantidad de energiacutea
utilizada y promover el desarrollo de proyectos con los principales beneficios

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Zambia to benefit from $12m German fund Posted in Business Editors Choice on September 11 2015 by Online User
ESTHER MSETEKA Lusaka ZAMBIA is among eight developing countries that will benefit from a US$12 million international climate change adaptation programme fund from Germany to help raise agricultural production and increase food security Through the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will work with ministries of agriculture in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay VietNam and Zambia to strengthen their adaptation to climatic changes and safeguard livelihoods According to a statement posted on the FAO website recently the initiative aims to help countries make improvements in the medium to long-term planning and budgeting processes The statement says the strategy will help link and strengthen existing programmes in the targeted countries to improve their prospects for accessing global funds for climate finance such as the Global Environment Fund and the Green Climate Fund ldquoFunding for the US$12 million effort is being provided by Germanyrsquos Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB)rdquo the statement reads It says FAO will offer policy advice and technical support to ensure that climate change adaptation priorities in the agriculture forestry and fisheries sectors are incorporated in the planning process The statement also says UNDP will engage with countries in managing climate risk planning and budgeting to help them strengthen information systems project formulation and coordination between government institutions
httpswwwdaily-mailcozmp=43367
ldquoOur food security in the decades to come depends on our collective ability to innovate and adapt to climate change The agriculture sector is critical to every nation and is a lifeline for livelihoods Therefore FAO and UNDP have joined forces to support partner countries to integrate agriculture into national adaptation planning processesrdquo the statement quotes UNDP Global Environment Finance Unit executive coordinator Adriana Dinu FAOrsquos Climate Energy and Tenure Division director Martin Frick said there is need for ministries of agriculture fisheries and forestry in the eight countries to develop and implement domestic policies aimed at addressing climate change programmes

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for
the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate
change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation
projects will be approved in upcoming months
Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the
groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the
scope from climate change adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases
which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate
change focused support which is also a component of other regional
projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo
project based in St Lucia and the regional renewable energy projects
based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to
Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the
groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an
advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding eg
from the Green Climate Fund it also means that the international
community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and
the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their
own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

December 2 2015 | UPDATED 1233 IST
When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

The project which will be implemented by 2019 is expected to improve the understanding of stakeholders
as well as enhance their capacity for developing adaptation measures
Effective adaptation models will be piloted and expanded Germany will also help Viet Nam share its effective
adaptation efforts on regional and international forums as well as seek funding to carry out ecosystem-based
adaptation
Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha expressed his hope that the project
will be effectively implemented and will achieve desired goals
He said Viet Nam has issued many laws and policies to mitigate those effects they include the National
Strategy for Disaster Prevention Response and Mitigation to 2020 and the National Strategy and National
Plan of Action on Climate Change
Ulrich Nicklas the representative of the BMUB appreciated the traditional cooperation between the ministries
of both countries
Viet Nam is among the priority partners of the International Climate Initiative and since 2008 39 bilateral and
multilateral projects related to CO2 mitigation adaptation and absorption as well as biodiversity preservation
have been carried out in the country Jochem Lange GIZ chief representative noted that the agency will use
its expertise and international experience to implement the project mdash VNS

Vietnam Germany launch climate change project
The lsquoStrategic mainstreaming of ecosystem-based adaptation in Vietnamrsquo project was launched in Hanoi on May 29 following a signing ceremony on execution agreement between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) and the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ)
The project which is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) will be implemented until 2019
Addressing the event Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha expressed his hope that the project would be effectively implemented and achieve desired goals
As one of the countries suffering the worst impacts of climate change Ha said Vietnam has issued many laws and policies to mitigate those impacts such as the National Strategy for Disaster Prevention Response and Mitigation to 2020 and the National Strategy and National Plan of Action on Climate Change
Ulrich Nicklas representative of the BMUB appreciated the traditional cooperation between the two countriesrsquo ministries
Vietnam is a priority partner of the International Climate Initiative and since 2008 39 bilateral and multilateral projects relating to CO2 mitigation adaptation and absorption and biodiversity preservation have been carried out in the Southeast Asian country
Jochem Lange GIZ chief representative said that the agency would use its expertise and international experience to implement the project

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

December 2 2015 | UPDATED 1233 IST
When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a
climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based
reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves
Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three
young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse and Avonni) who performed
the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on YouTube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with
a budget of EC$33 million was created which will assist non-
government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the
negative impacts of climate change in their communities

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for
the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate
change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation
projects will be approved in upcoming months
Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the
groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the
scope from climate change adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases
which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate
change focused support which is also a component of other regional
projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo
project based in St Lucia and the regional renewable energy projects
based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to
Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the
groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an
advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding eg
from the Green Climate Fund it also means that the international
community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and
the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their
own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

December 2 2015 | UPDATED 1233 IST
When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Da Nang city has seen big change and standout development after six years implementing a project to turn it into a green city
The city is leading the country in waste management with 93 percent of all its solid waste collected and 100 percent of medical waste treated before dumping while 98 percent of waste water from local industrial parks is collected and treated
The rate of greenery in the city reached 602 sqm per person last year
Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

February 9th Dr Michael Freudenberg Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Port-of-Spain with responsibility for Grenada made a special visit to Grenada from February 4th to February 9th Aside participating in various meetings including the Zero-Hunger Pledging Conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st Independence Dr Freudenberg met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over a Note Verbale by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately 45 Million XCD (approx 14 million Euros) from its International Climate Initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Dr Freudenberg stressed that ldquoGrenada has great potential for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint
Germany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the Government of Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German Ministry for Environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in April 2013 and has a volume of approximately 16 million XCD (5 million Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS Project is not even at its halfway mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development of a Coastal Zone Policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and the training of public officers in the use of a Climate Risk Assessment Tool which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high commendations from Merina Jessamy Permanent Secretary with responsibility for Agriculture Lands and the Environment who works closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse amp Avonni) who performed the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on Youtube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with a budget of 33 Million XCD was created which will assist non-government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in their communities
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation projects will be approved in upcoming months
Dr Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the scope from Climate Change Adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate change focused support which is also a component of other regional projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo project based in St Lucia and the Regional Renewable Energy projects based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding - eg from the Green Climate Fund - it also means that the international community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their own efforts

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for
the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate
change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation
projects will be approved in upcoming months
Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the
groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the
scope from climate change adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases
which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate
change focused support which is also a component of other regional
projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo
project based in St Lucia and the regional renewable energy projects
based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to
Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the
groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an
advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding eg
from the Green Climate Fund it also means that the international
community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and
the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their
own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

St Georgersquos
Grenada mdash Dr
Michael
Freudenberg
deputy head of
mission of the
German
embassy in Port-
of-Spain with
responsibility for
Grenada made
a special visit to Grenada from February 4 to February 9 Aside from
participating in various meetings including the zero-hunger pledging
conference and events to celebrate Grenadarsquos 41st anniversary of
independence Freudenberg met with the ministry of foreign affairs to
hand over a note verbale by the German ministry of foreign affairs that
announced a new and important project in the energy sector
The German federal ministry for the environment nature conservation
building and nuclear safety (BMUB) agreed to provide approximately
EC$45 million (147 million Euros US$167 million) from its
international climate initiative (IKI) to support sector reforms in the
Grenadian energy sector
The project with the title ldquoReform of the Electricity Sector to support
Climate Policy in Grenadardquo (G-RESCP) will commence this month The
SPECIAL TOPICS Join us at 12 noon from Monday to Friday for ZIZrsquos lunch time news report on ZIZ Radio (961FM) and ZIZ Television (Channel 5)

goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its
reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke permanent secretary of the ministry
for foreign affairs Freudenberg stressed ldquoGrenada has great potential
for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its
carbon footprint
ldquoGermany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow
Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this
Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending
institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo
G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International
Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the government of
Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German
ministry for environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate
Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in
April 2013 and has a volume of approximately EC$16 million (5 million
Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable
communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS project is not even at its halfway
mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in
Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the
reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development
of a coastal zone policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and
the training of public officers in the use of a climate risk assessment tool
which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high
commendations from Merina Jessamy permanent secretary with
responsibility for agriculture lands and the environment who works
closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a
climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based
reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves
Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three
young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse and Avonni) who performed
the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on YouTube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with
a budget of EC$33 million was created which will assist non-
government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the
negative impacts of climate change in their communities

Settles for
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for
the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate
change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation
projects will be approved in upcoming months
Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the
groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the
scope from climate change adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases
which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate
change focused support which is also a component of other regional
projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo
project based in St Lucia and the regional renewable energy projects
based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to
Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the
groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an
advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding eg
from the Green Climate Fund it also means that the international
community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and
the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their
own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

The project which will be implemented by 2019 is expected to improve the understanding of stakeholders
as well as enhance their capacity for developing adaptation measures
Effective adaptation models will be piloted and expanded Germany will also help Viet Nam share its effective
adaptation efforts on regional and international forums as well as seek funding to carry out ecosystem-based
adaptation
Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha expressed his hope that the project
will be effectively implemented and will achieve desired goals
He said Viet Nam has issued many laws and policies to mitigate those effects they include the National
Strategy for Disaster Prevention Response and Mitigation to 2020 and the National Strategy and National
Plan of Action on Climate Change

Vietnam Germany launch climate change project
Vietnam Germany launch climate change project
The lsquoStrategic mainstreaming of ecosystem-based adaptation in Vietnamrsquo project was launched in Hanoi on May 29 following a signing ceremony on execution agreement between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) and the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ)
The project which is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) will be implemented until 2019
Addressing the event Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha expressed his hope that the project would be effectively implemented and achieve desired goals
As one of the countries suffering the worst impacts of climate change Ha said Vietnam has issued many laws and policies to mitigate those impacts such as the National Strategy for Disaster Prevention Response and Mitigation to 2020 and the National Strategy and National Plan of Action on Climate Change
Ulrich Nicklas representative of the BMUB appreciated the traditional cooperation between the two countriesrsquo ministries
Vietnam is a priority partner of the International Climate Initiative and since 2008 39 bilateral and multilateral projects relating to CO2 mitigation adaptation and absorption and biodiversity preservation have been carried out in the Southeast Asian country

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

goal is to support Grenada in the use of renewable energy and its
reduction of CO2 emissions via institutional amendments to allow for
more investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In the meeting with Patricia Clarke permanent secretary of the ministry
for foreign affairs Freudenberg stressed ldquoGrenada has great potential
for renewable energy and hence a unique opportunity to reduce its
carbon footprint
ldquoGermany is happy to support reforms in the energy sector to allow
Grenada to reap the benefits of this potential resource By doing this
Grenada can lead the way for small island states in amending
institutional structures to follow the path of a sustainable societyrdquo
G-RESCP will be implemented by the German Agency for International
Cooperation (GIZ) in close collaboration with the government of
Grenada
This new project is the second project in Grenada funded by the German
ministry for environment The first project the ldquoIntegrated Climate
Change Adaptation Strategiesrdquo (ICCAS) programme was launched in
April 2013 and has a volume of approximately EC$16 million (5 million
Euros) ICCASrsquo objective is to increase resilience of vulnerable
communities and ecosystems to climate change risks in Grenada
It was noted that although the ICCAS project is not even at its halfway
mark it has left a recognizable imprint across various sectors in
Grenada
The key role of BMUB as a donor and GIZ as implementer in the
reactivation of the National Climate Change Committee the development
of a coastal zone policy for Grenada Carriacou and Petit Martinique and
the training of public officers in the use of a climate risk assessment tool
which helps to make climate-smart decisions received high
commendations from Merina Jessamy permanent secretary with
responsibility for agriculture lands and the environment who works
closely with the ICCAS project
Additionally ICCAS is currently starting a rainwater harvesting project a
climate-smart agricultural project as well as a community-based
reforestation campaign which includes the protection of mangroves
Recently ICCAS also produced a climate change music video with three
young Grenadian artistes (Swipe Eclipse and Avonni) who performed
the song ldquoCanrsquot do it alonerdquo which is available on YouTube for viewing
At the end of 2014 as part of ICCAS a Community Adaptation Fund with
a budget of EC$33 million was created which will assist non-
government organisations to implement projects that will mitigate the
negative impacts of climate change in their communities

Settles for
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for
the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate
change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation
projects will be approved in upcoming months
Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the
groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the
scope from climate change adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases
which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate
change focused support which is also a component of other regional
projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo
project based in St Lucia and the regional renewable energy projects
based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to
Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the
groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an
advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding eg
from the Green Climate Fund it also means that the international
community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and
the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their
own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Settles for
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is in charge for
the implementation of this key financing instrument to combat climate
change in communities The first round of community-based adaptation
projects will be approved in upcoming months
Freudenberg also mentioned that the new energy project will build on the
groundwork of the existing climate change initiative and extends the
scope from climate change adaptation to mitigation of greenhouse gases
which contribute to climate change
Grenada is the first country to receive such comprehensive climate
change focused support which is also a component of other regional
projects such as the ldquoCaribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions (CATS)rdquo
project based in St Lucia and the regional renewable energy projects
based in Guyana and St Lucia
This impressive list of projects shows the importance of Grenada to
Germany as a front-runner in the fight against climate change While the
groundwork done by the German projects puts Grenada in an
advantageous position to receive additional large-scale funding eg
from the Green Climate Fund it also means that the international
community will look closely on actions on the ground in Grenada and
the progress made to inform the resilience-building measures of their
own efforts

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster
to catch up

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day
More than 1000 people participated in a biking activity in HCM Citys District 7 on May 30 to mark the annual World Environment Day (June 5)
The cyclists rode nearly 10 kilometres around District 7 and visited booths with information about five flagship animals in Vietnam the Indochinese tiger Asian elephant sea turtle sarus crane and saola

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Indian Solar Radiation Atlas is launched On 3 June 2015 the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) Chennai has launched the Indian Solar Radiation At-las ndash an on-line GIS-based information portal to facilitate expansion of the solar energy sector in the country NIWE is a research institute under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Government of India (GoI) The Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) wing of the NIWE is responsible for set-ting up and maintaining ground stations at different States and Union Territories in the country (Figure 1) The Solar Ra-diation Measuring Network now with a strength of 121 ground stations was ini-tially started with the Solar Mapping and Monitoring (SolMap) Project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment under the International Cli-mate Initiative12 These ground stations are located mostly at technological uni-versities and engineering colleges across the states SolMap Project facilitated set-ting up the Solar Radiation Measuring Network and later the development of
this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster
to catch up

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

this Atlas SRRA has technically col-laborated with the German International Cooperation (GIZ) under the Indo-German Energy Programme and also received technical assistance from Ger-many-based Suntrace These ground stations are part of the Solar Radiation Measuring Network that periodically measures the three parame-ters of solar radiation namely global horizontal irradiance (GHI) direct nor-mal Irradiance (DNI) and diffuse hori-zontal irradiance (DHI) These are highly accurate measures of solar radiation in a particular region The Atlas presently in-dicates the annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI along with the ad-ministrative details of the ground sta-tions It also provides details of solar resources at any location with 3 km 3 km spatial resolution The solar radia-tion data collected from the ground sta-tions are also subject to validation and combination with satellite-derived esti-mates collected from the Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 satellites
The National Solar Mission now sets a revised target of adding 100000 MW of solar power to the national power grid by 2022 (ref 3) Consequently MNRE GoI is making a target of capacity addition of 15000ndash17000 MW in solar energy in 2015ndash16 The Atlas will help in identify-ing most preferred locations for solar power development across the country It will also help in determining the energy production It also supports risk assess-ment with an estimate of inter-annual variability data The Atlas is expected to be an important tool for the policymak-ers solar power developers planners of the state solar parks investors and financial institutions involved in renew-able energy The Atlas is available at httpniweresinindian_solar_atlasphp of httpniweresindepartment_srra_ solar_mapphp A district-level geo-specific record includes a structured detail of informa-tion such as latitude longitude eleva-tion annual average values of GHI DNI and DHI values of relative humidity air temperature wind speed wind direction rain accumulation and atmospheric pres-sure Data on many of these parameters can be utilized for planning and deploy-ment of other kinds of renewable energy sources The future researchers can also use data derived from this Atlas for assessing impact of solar radiation in cli-mate change and its impact on the envi-ronment ecology and society

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

When he flew in to attend the Paris Climate Change Summit Union Power and Renewable
Energy Minister had glad tidings to convey India had achieved a unique
milestone in lighting for homes By November 3 crore energy saving LED (light-emitting
diode) bulbs had been distributed under the governments flagship Domestic
Efficient Lighting Programme
Goyal pointed out that while it took 549 days to distribute the first 1 crore bulbs it took less
than 72 days for the second and a mere 37 days for the third The price of LED bulbs had
also dropped from Rs 310 per unit in 2014 to less than Rs 73 a year-and-a-half later Goyal
hopes to push prices down by half in the coming days The plan is to replace all 77 crore
incandescent bulbs sold annually in India with the more energy efficient LED bulbs that
would reduce the load on power plants by more than 20000 MW and help consumers save
Rs 40000 crore annually
Until recently CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) was the rage but besides its high cost there
are environmental concerns about its disposal Major breakthroughs in LED technology
have helped in improving its luminosity and durability enabling manufacturers to enter the
lucrative domestic lighting sector and compete with CFLs With economies of scale growing
rapidly companies are investing heavily on research to make LED bulbs suitable for both
commercial and domestic use
In Paris developing countries-with India leading the pack-point out that if developed
countries want them to cut down on their carbon footprint the only way possible is through
the transfer of green technology which is clean cost-effective and durable Technology is
the womb of the future says Ashok Lavasa the affable environment ministry secretary
The worlds tomorrow depends on how rapidly we can improve energy efficiency across the
board while utilising clean sources of power India is pushing developed countries to
transfer critical green technology at a reasonable cost so that poor countries can leapfrog
faster into a post-carbon industrialised world
With an array of solar panels on its roof the ministrys headquarters in Delhi generates more
power than it consumes daily It also is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating
apart from windows that provide adequate lighting throughout the day to save electricity
Elsewhere Kochi airport is the worlds first airport to be fully run on solar power Lavasa

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

points out that for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind the key issues are
efficiency of power generation and storage apart from management of the grid for easy
evacuation of electricity While India has launched major missions to develop solar and
wind technology barring a few these are far from cutting-edge It does need to collaborate
with developed nations doing research on the subject
In solar power for instance if the cost of electricity generation has to be competitive with
that of coal-fired thermal plants then there have to be major breakthroughs in the
absorption capacity of photovoltaic cells As important is the ability to store the power
generated Currently lead acid batteries used for storing power are bulky and inefficient
There is research in the US and Europe to see if lithium batteries the type mobile phones
use could be utilised to store power but for that costs of manufacturing would have to be
brought down considerably
In wind power most turbines made in Europe are suitable for icy temperatures and high-
speed winds that are common there India requires these turbines to function optimally in
hot conditions and operate at much lower wind speeds There again collaborative efforts
would be a big help for developing countries located in the tropics Also to evacuate power
both wind and solar power require smart grids and green corridors that depend heavily on
high technology to make them distribute power effectively and minimise fluctuations
Even in fossil fuel thermal power plants India is pushing hard to upgrade all of them to
become highly efficient in heat utilisation by using ultra-advanced super-critical technology
In the transport sector the other major carbon fuel guzzler a host of car manufacturers are
working on cutting down the costs of installing hybrid motors In public transport there is a
need for a modal shift towards mass transit such as metro rail apart from using railways to
move freight
India wants to emerge as a leader in clean technology says Ajay Mathur director general
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Its a tough ask In the following pages we highlight 10 critical
technologies that will make a difference to the worlds efforts to reduce its carbon footprint
India has got off to a good start on many of these technologies but it must run a lot faster
to catch up

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day
More than 1000 people participated in a biking activity in HCM Citys District 7 on May 30 to mark the annual World Environment Day (June 5)

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

One of the biggest challenges in reducing global power consumption is the use of ACs
which consume up to 30 per cent of power in households in the developed world ACs
consume a lot of power because they involve repeated cycles of compressing gas to a
liquid With rising concerns over ozone depletion countries across the globe have moved
towards environment-friendly refrigerants Initially chlorofluorocarbons were used as a
refrigerant but their production was stopped in the US in 1995 Now nearly all air
conditioning systems employ halogenated chlorofluorocarbons as a refrigerant but they too
are being gradually phased out to be replaced by ozone-safe hydrofluorocarbons or even
ammonia
In India the stage for energy efficient appliances was set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) in 2010 when it introduced a star rating system for appliances Companies such as
Godrej came up with the breakthrough Green Balance technology which uses the worlds
greenest refrigerant R290 a technology which it developed in collaboration with Germanys
Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety
However energy experts say that while the BEE has set the tone to improve the energy
efficiency quest of companies it is still not comparable with global standards

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia

On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Da Nang city bustling with environment activities
A raft of activities are to be held in the central Da Nang city from May 31 to June 14 in response to the World Environment Day and Vietnamrsquos Sea and Island Week 2015
The event will include a meeting to celebrate the World Environment Day World Oceans Day and Vietnam Sea and Islands Week and a walk responding to the environmental event A drill on coping with oil spill will also be held
Localities and organisations will organize campaigns to clean up beaches and disused lands with the participation of an estimated 6000 locals
Da Nang city has seen big change and standout development after six years implementing a project to turn it into a green city
The city is leading the country in waste management with 93 percent of all its solid waste collected and 100 percent of medical waste treated before dumping while 98 percent of waste water from local industrial parks is collected and treated
The rate of greenery in the city reached 602 sqm per person last year
Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

DOTC PUJ operators tackle jeepney modernizationAugust 5 2015 1015 pm
by Rosalie C Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and several Public Utility
Jeepney (PUJ) operatorsrsquo associations met on Wednesday to discuss a plan to modernize
the most commonly used passenger utility vehicle in the country
ldquoThe dialogue was requested by five jeepney operatorsrsquo associations to be able to present
their proposals on how to modernize this sector of transportationrdquo DOTC spokesperson
Michael Arthur Sacgal said in a text message to The Manila Times
ldquoSince the DOTC has begun formulating a jeepney modernization program we look forward
to working together with these stakeholders so we can come up with a collaborative and
inclusive solutionrdquo he added
Industry groups present were the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association
of the Philippines (Fejodap) Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (Acto) partylists
1-United TrAnsport Koalisyon (1-Utak) Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers
Association of the Philippines (Altodap) Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operator sa Pilipinas
(Ltop) and Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila amp Suburbs Drivers Association (Pasang
Masda) while fleet managers from 1-Team Comet and Filinvest represented the private
sector
The agenda included a presentation of the Road-based Transport Reform Nationally
Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) the Proposed Vehicle Technology and Financing
Options sharing of experiences such as the successful models of jeepney consolidation and
modernization plan (for replication) updates from the Electronic Vehicle Association
roadmap and dialogue on issues and concerns
Tremendous growth in motorized transport is seen challenging sustainable development
worldwide The transport sector already contributes the second highest share of energy-
related CO2 emissions globally at 27 percent and is the fastest growing sector in terms of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
According to GIZ the implementing agency of the German federal government that tackles
sustainable development issues about 70 percent of all trips in the Philippines are served by
public transport
About 34 percent of all energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country are
produced by the transport sector it added The Philippine government promotes
improvement of the integration of public transport planning and operation as well as the shift
to low-emission public transport vehicles
A project called TRANSfer which is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate
Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) aims to support efforts by developing economies to implement
climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector
The project follows a multi-level approach At the country level TRANSfer supports selected
partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector The NAMAs
supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries such as
Indonesia the Philippines South Africa Peru and Colombia

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

At the international level the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport
NAMAs with comprehensive sets of measures (events trainings facilitation of expert group
documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and
database)
15-year limit
Earlier the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said it was
pursuing its drive to modernize the countryrsquos transportation sector by introducing policies
aimed at curtailing the number of old and decrepit public utility vehicles (PUVs) from plying
the national roads
The Board promulgated Resolution No 2013-10 on January 11 2013 for the strict
observance of the 15-year-age limit on public utility minibus from the date of manufacture of
the vehicle instead of the date of initial registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO)
The program is part of the DOTCrsquos lsquoModernization of Public Transport Servicersquo initiative in
phasing out among others public utility minibuses that are more than 15 years old
LTFRB Chairman Wiston Ginez has said that ldquoa transport system with modern and
roadworthy PUVs plying the national roads prevents pollution and ensures a reliable and safe
commute for the riding publicrdquo
CA dismisses petition
As anticipated a group of minibus operators opposed the Boardrsquos policy and filed a petition to
stop the implementation of an order mandating the phase-out of their units that are more than
15 years old
The Court of Appeals (CA) issued an order dismissing the petition of the transport groups
ruling that there is no compelling reason to issue a restraining order against the phase-out
order issued by the Board
In line with its modernization program the Board has ceased from confirming and allowing
the extension of the certificates of public convenience issued to 15-year old minibuses
In the seven-page CA resolution issued on Monday the appeals courtrsquos 14th Division said
there was no compelling reason for the issuance of a TRO much less for a writ of preliminary
injunction
The CA said that the petitioners failed to show that they would suffer grave and irreparable
injury from the implementation of the order
The DOTC started to push for the modernization of the countryrsquos public land transport
services in January

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day
More than 1000 people participated in a biking activity in HCM Citys District 7 on May 30 to mark the annual World Environment Day (June 5)

climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Nevis Saint Kitts and Nevis | September 25 2015 ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo

Representatives from Saint Kitts and Nevis included Tricia Greaux Dameon Lawrence and Nikita Brown from the Department of Marine Resources Danielle Moore from the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and Valerie Gregoire of Scuba Safaris
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said participant Craig Henry of the Saint Lucia National Trust
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Eastern Caribbean representatives meet in Nevis for Coral Reef Monitoring Workshop Press release September 25 2015
PRESS RELEASE ndash People have the power to improve our ocean resources
Understanding the current health of these resources and the needs of those who use them is the first step toward making decisions that protect them for the future
Last week in St Kitts and Nevis marine biologists fisheries officers scientists and natural resource managers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a workshop on marine socio-economic and management effectiveness data collection methods
Representatives contributed to drafts of their countryrsquos first ever Coral Reef Report Card which will guide an understanding of the overall health of marine areas and help leaders develop strategies to protect them
The six-day workshop was part of the Climate-Resilient Eastern Caribbean Marine Managed Areas Network (ECMMAN) project and was hosted by The Nature Conservancy along with regional partners UWI ndash Center for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES) International Union for the Conservation of Nature ndash Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (IUCN-BIOPAMA) OECS Commission and CaMPAM
ldquoThis workshop improves how Eastern Caribbean shallow marine resources are monitored by evaluating the three major systems at play the coral reef ecosystem and the socio-economic and management systemsrdquo said John English Knowles Conservation Information Manager for The Nature Conservancy ldquoThe ECMMAN project continues to innovate how it advances marine management in the Eastern Caribbeanrdquo
ECMMAN is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and supports the development of marine managed areas in Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia
httpwwwstlucianewsonlinecomeastern-caribbean-representatives-meet-in-nevis-for-coral-reef-monitoring-workshop
On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in

FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

On scuba dives into The Narrows the proposed marine managed area between the islands of St Kitts and Nevis participants learned to track characteristics like algae cover which reveal a larger story about the overall health of the ecosystem
Other participants went into the community to practice social and economic data collection skills after preliminary training about the Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative for Coastal Management (SocMon) Participants also gained experience reviewing the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool which evaluates management practices implemented within protected areas
ldquoThe management of coastal resources begins with managing peoplerdquo said Maria Pena Coordinator for the Caribbean SocMon initiative ldquoManaging people requires understanding their needs perceptions and vulnerabilities This is essential for assessing predicting and managing coastal resource use over time and will strengthen marine managed area management in the regionrdquo
Saint Lucia representatives included Craig Henry from the Saint Lucia National Trust Allena Joseph and Thomas Nelson from the Department of Fisheries as well as Joan Norville representing the OECS Commission
ldquoI have a deeper appreciation of how these monitoring tools when integrated can assist managers to plan more effectively communicate clearly and make more sound decisions in their protected areasrdquo said Craig Henry
By training individuals throughout the Eastern Caribbean the ECMMAN program is building a network of committed and well-informed individuals who contribute to a regional database of information The data provides the facts upon which each country can tell a vibrant story that compels its citizens to take responsible actions to protect their ecosystems
ldquoIts people who affect the reefrdquo said Patricia Kramer a consultant for The Nature Conservancy who will use feedback and data from the workshop to publish each countryrsquos Coral Reef Report Card ldquoand its people who can change them for the betterrdquo

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Vanuatu launches new climate change project with
SPREPSOURCE(S) SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (SPREP )
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) launched the Pacific Ecosystem-
based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project in Vanuatu this month
The project is focused on implementing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) activities across three Melanesian
countries namely Fiji Solomon Islands and Vanuatu This project is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of The German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and
Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is planned to last 5 years
The Vanuatu component of the project will look at building resilience to climate change using an EbA
approach in an urban environment namely Port Vila and across a whole of island environment on Tanna
Island said Mr David Loubser the PEBCC Project Manager in Vanuatu
The lessons learned from these activities will be able to be replicated across the Pacific region
Ecosystem based Adaptation or EbA is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall
adaptation strategy to help people to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change examples would be the
restoration of mangroves to reduce the impacts of sea level rise and storm surges or the protection of forested
watersheds to manage and maintain water security
In Port Vila the project will start in November with an initial baseline study to identify the important services
provided by our environment in protecting against the impacts of climate change Once identified activities
will be prioritised in order to maximise the impact of EbA measures for the communities in and around Port
Vila
The inception meeting to launch the project took place on 13 October and was attended by representatives
from community groups NGOs academia provincial and central government
Mr Dave Loubser the SPREP Vanuatu Country Manager introduced the project followed by presentations
from researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and from officials from the National
Advisory Board on Climate Change within the Vanuatu government
If you are interested in this project or would like more information please contact Mr Dave Loubser Pacific

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in

Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

Addressing the event Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha expressed his hope that the project would be effectively implemented and achieve desired goals
As one of the countries suffering the worst impacts of climate change Ha said Vietnam has issued many laws and policies to mitigate those impacts such as the National Strategy for Disaster Prevention Response and Mitigation to 2020 and the National Strategy and National Plan of Action on Climate Change
Ulrich Nicklas representative of the BMUB appreciated the traditional cooperation between the two countriesrsquo ministries
Vietnam is a priority partner of the International Climate Initiative and since 2008 39 bilateral and multilateral projects relating to CO2 mitigation adaptation and absorption and biodiversity preservation have been carried out in the Southeast Asian country

Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

The lsquoStrategic mainstreaming of ecosystem-based adaptation in Vietnamrsquo project was launched in Hanoi on May 29 following a signing ceremony on execution agreement between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) and the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ)
The project which is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) will be implemented until 2019
Addressing the event Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha expressed his hope that the project would be effectively implemented and achieve desired goals
As one of the countries suffering the worst impacts of climate change Ha said Vietnam has issued many laws and policies to mitigate those impacts such as the National Strategy for Disaster Prevention Response and Mitigation to 2020 and the National Strategy and National Plan of Action on Climate Change
Ulrich Nicklas representative of the BMUB appreciated the traditional cooperation between the two countriesrsquo ministries
Vietnam is a priority partner of the International Climate Initiative and since 2008 39 bilateral and multilateral projects relating to CO2 mitigation adaptation and absorption and biodiversity preservation have been carried out in the Southeast Asian country
Jochem Lange GIZ chief representative said that the agency would use its expertise and international experience to implement the project
Da Nang city bustling with environment activities
A raft of activities are to be held in the central Da Nang city from May 31 to June 14 in response to the World Environment Day and Vietnamrsquos Sea and Island Week 2015

The rate of greenery in the city reached 602 sqm per person last year
Kien Giang province braces for climate change
As a coastal province with a 200km long coastline the southern province of Kien Giang is facing great challenges posed by climate change and rising sea level which requires the province to take quick and drastic actions
Vice Chairman of the provincial Peoplersquos Committee Mai Anh Nhin said hydro-meteorological observations show that the sea level is rising by an average of 1 centimetre every year
If the water level rises by 05 metre more than half of the plain areas in the province will be submerged exerting devastating impact on the local life and economy since the agro-forestry-fishery sector accounts for nearly 38 percent of the provincial gross domestic product (GDP) he said
Since 2010 erosion has become more common along coastal areas which affected hundreds of housholds in Hon Dat An Bien and An Minh districts according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the same time drought and salt water intrusion have worsened in dry season while high tides and floods became more serious over the year
According to the provincersquos Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Kien Giang province needs over 53 trillion VND ( 245 million USD) to build a sluice system and upgrade damaged sea dykes between 2015 and 2020 and beyond to cope with rising sea levels
Director of the Department Nguyen Van Tam said the province is implementing a programme to upgrade the sea dyke system that runs from central Quang Ngai province to Kien Giang and projects to upgrade the 212-km sea dyke from local Ha Tien town to Tieu Dua commune in An Minh district
The construction of 27 sluice gates to prevent saltwater intrusion on the An Bien ndash An Minh dyke is also underway he added
Local authorities are exerting efforts to increase the coverage of protective forests as well as adjust and supplement development plans in accordance with the sea level rise scenarios and improve management of flood-controlling systems
The province has been allocated 59 billion VND (281 million USD) to implement three forestation projects in coastal areas Meanwhile the provincial authorities will set aside nearly 600 billion VND ( 277 million USD) to improve the irrigation system to serve aquaculture in Vam Rang ndash Ba Hon region in Hon Dat district and Kien Luong town
It plans to carry out projects to improve infrastructure for coastal urban areas such as Rach Gia city Ha Tien Phu Quoc and Kien Luong towns while studying plant and animal strains as well as agriculture models that are adaptive to climate change
At the same time the province will improve the quality of natural disasters forecast and keep a close watch on the issue to proactively mitigate the impact of climate change
Kien Giang has around 8770 hectares of land dedicated to coastal protective forests However only 2950 hectares are currently covered in trees
Bike ride marks World Environment Day
More than 1000 people participated in a biking activity in HCM Citys District 7 on May 30 to mark the annual World Environment Day (June 5)

climate change
8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

8 December 2015 Paris - A UN Programme working to help countries include climate-related risks in national planning and budgeting
processes - especially those that affect the agriculture sector - is getting an additional euro5 million in support from the government of
Germany bringing the countrys total backing for this work up to euro15 million
Through the recently established Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans programme FAO and UNDP are working with
ministries of agriculture environment finance and planning in Nepal Kenya the Philippines Thailand Uganda Uruguay Viet Nam
and Zambia The aim is to strengthen local technical skills in the use of climate risk management strategies adjust planning and
budgeting processes to incorporate climate change risks and support farmers - especially women - in adopting best practices in
climate change adaptation (Learn more (httpwwwfaoorgnewsstoryenitem326801icode))
The two UN agencies will use the additional financing - provided by Germany s Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature
Conservation Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) under the auspices of its International Climate Initiative (IKI) - to scale up this work
as well as expand it to three more countries
The additional finance from the Government of Germany will be catalytic to assist countries to put into place the requisite national
systems and capacities to scale up climate risk management in the critical area of food security and livelihoods said German

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country

-
The 4-year UNDP-FAO initiative is part of UNDPs portfolio of assistance to countries on climate change adaptation It sits alongside
other ongoing efforts to strengthen the national adaptation plans processes financed by the Least Developed Country Fund ($47
million) the Special Climate Change Fund ($225 million) as well as bilateral donors
It will be complemented by additional support extended by UNDP to countries with financing from the Special Climate Change Fund
Green Climate Fund as well as support from bilateral donors such as Germany Japan Canada and Australia
A related initiative is the Caribbean Climate Change Partnership which similarly aims to support countries in developing their National
climate Adaptation Plans This work is being implemented by UNDP with funding from the Government of Japan to the tune of $15
million for the 2015-2017 period
For FAO the joint effort dovetails with a series of global programmes (httpwwwfaoorgclimate-changeprogrammes-and-
projectsen) the agency is running to help countries develop and implement policy frameworks and institutional arrangements aimed at
promoting sustainable agricultural development under climate change
Since 2009 FAO has implemented some 300 projects and programmes addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agriculture forestry and fisheries and aquaculture Through its network of climate change professionals in its various technical units
FAO is supporting countries in diverse ways from policy design to improved practices and capacity development
The scaling up of the FAO-UNDP partnership made possible by Germanys latest contribution will help FAO expand the number of
countries supported as well as South-South (httpwwwfaoorgpartnershipssouth-south-cooperationen)exchanges between
developing countries strengthening data gathering and evidence-based monitoring and evaluation on a global scale and promoting
gender equality in agricultural development
Meeting needs The financial support provided by Germany addresses major concerns of many of the worlds most vulnerable
countries as voiced by Uganda and Nepal
For many of us in Uganda climate change is no longer a distant threat it is a reality and a sign of what lies ahead It is also important
to note that climate change knows no boundaries There is no institution that can deal with this on its own This is a problem that needs
to be addressed by all of us working together by sharing resources and technologies said Vincent Ssempijja Ugandan Minister of
State for Agriculture The process of developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) has started and agriculture is a champion in
developing their sector specific NAP and mainstreaming guidelines
Haribol Prasad Gajurel Minister of Agricultural Development Government of Nepal added This is a crucial moment for agriculture in
Nepal The sector is very vulnerable and farmers are facing difficulties in coping with the challenges posed by climate change such as
erratic rainfalls shifting monsoon conditions and insurgence of disease-pests In this connection we are working to strengthen
capacities to adapt to climate change We welcome the opportunity offered by FAO and UNDP and are glad to be partners in the
Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans initiative This is an important chance to shape our own adaptation plans for the
future of our country
