How Carbon Pricing enhances the mitigation investment environment Carbon Pricing • Makes low emissions

How Carbon Pricing enhances the mitigation investment environment Carbon Pricing • Makes low emissions products less expensive compared to high emissions products and thereby more competitive, thus attracts investments (domestically and internationally) into low emissions technologies and industries • Generates revenues which can be re-invested in • • • Adaptation to cope with the losses and damages through climate change Additional mitigation actions Compensation for social impacts on low income households • Incentivizes private sector to invest in low emission development for economic reasons • Helps ultimately private companies to price in risks and (eventual) costs of climate change Strictly Confidential © 2013

Enhancing an enabling environment for mitigation actions: Carbon Pricing Purpose: • Make polluters pay, and • Make a high emissions product more expensive than the same low emissions product Options: • Carbon Tax: raise the price of a product by a certain amount according to the tons CO 2 which have been emitted during production process • Carbon Market: limit the quantity of emissions your sources (coal power plants) are allowed to emit per year, and allocate allowances to emit GHG to the sources which add up to the limit of the allowed quantity per year. The sources might then trade these allowances amongst them at prices they are willing to pay for. Strictly Confidential © 2013 10

Accessibility of climate finance • needed financial resources are available • The mobilized financing

Accessibility of climate finance • needed financial resources are available • The mobilized financing from e. g. green bonds are channeled in various other instruments (loans, special purpose vehicles, consumer loans) appropriate for individual (sectoral/national) investment projects • NAMAs are perceived as nothing substantially new • Bottleneck is the lack of an investible project pipeline to invest financing in: financing for project development phase is missing, bonds can only be based on projects when they start to generate revenues • “IFC Warehouse approach”: public support for upfront investments in projects until they generate a revenue (then a private investor can acquire the project and re-finance it) • Due to easy management and attractiveness for private investors, national governments will have to consider bonds at least as instrument to mobilize financing for climate actions Strictly Confidential © 2013

Different private sector investors have different appetites • The private sector is heterogenous •

Different private sector investors have different appetites • The private sector is heterogenous • Different private sector actors have different preferences and liabilities • Financial instruments to mobilize private climate finance must fit for barriers, which the NAMA must overcome & match preferences and liabilities of investors • Financial assets will be selected by private investors according to: Liquidity Revenue Risk Strictly Confidential © 2013

Leveraging Private-Sector Finance for NAMAs • Prepare investable project pipeline in order to channel

Leveraging Private-Sector Finance for NAMAs • Prepare investable project pipeline in order to channel available private finance to projects • Important to understand local barriers to private sector investment • in order to lower risks to investors and assure appropriate returns to attract private capital, NAMA resources could be used to (via financial intermediaries) e. g. : • • • lower development costs of investment projects under a NAMA through technical assistance; lower the cost of capital through equity and debt co-financing instruments; cover the incremental costs or financing the riskier aspects of investments; lowering risks through credit enhancement; insurance or other forms of guarantee. • Such mechanisms can further bring down market barriers, bridge financial gaps and share risks with the private sector Strictly Confidential © 2013

The Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition International Momentum is building § At the 2014 UN

The Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition International Momentum is building § At the 2014 UN Climate Summit, governments, business and investors showed support for accelerating action to price carbon: § 74 countries and 23 states, provinces and cities joined over 1, 000 businesses and investors in signaling their support for carbon pricing. § These countries together are responsible for 54% of GHG emissions, 52% of GDP and almost half of the world’s population. A Partnership for Action § The World Bank Group and its partners followed this success by launching the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition. § The coalition brings together leaders from government, business and civil society with the goal of putting in place effective carbon pricing policies that maintain competitiveness, create jobs, encourage innovation, and deliver meaningful emission reductions. Coalition activities: § Deepen the understanding of the business case for carbon pricing. The coalition is developing scenarios that will guide decision making by governments, companies and investors under a variety of carbon pricing policies and timelines. The coalition is also encouraging business to incorporate the cost of carbon in their own operations and to be transparent about how they use carbon pricing. § Establish a foundation for sound policy development. The coalition is collecting a set of best practice principles for carbon pricing, building from lessons learned in jurisdictions around the world. The coalition will help governments to gain stakeholder support for carbon pricing as a climate solution. § Raise global awareness. The coalition’s work will inform and inspire a Carbon Pricing Leadership Panel, a high-level group of government, business and civil society leaders who will serve as ambassadors to advocate for effective carbon pricing across the globe.

Partnership for Market Readiness The PMR provides support to countries to design and implement

Partnership for Market Readiness The PMR provides support to countries to design and implement a range of climate change mitigation policies and cost-effective measures – including carbon pricing instruments – in order to scale up GHG mitigation. Participation Supported activities § Provide grant funding to improving technical and institutional “readiness”, including work on GHG registries; Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems, data collection and management tools, and regulatory frameworks § Participants include: ▬ 18 developing countries/emerging economies & 13 countries that donate financially § Support piloting and testing of innovative market instruments (e. g. , domestic emissions trading schemes (ETS) or scaled-up crediting mechanisms) § Provide a platform for technical discussions and knowledge creation, country-to-country exchanges, and collective innovation on new market instruments § Share lessons learned & best practices among policy makers and practitioners Strictly Confidential © 2013 29

Networked Carbon Markets Objective § A linked or networked international carbon market is desirable

Networked Carbon Markets Objective § A linked or networked international carbon market is desirable § In the absence of harmonized systems, ‘comparability’ among countries and ‘fungibility’ among carbon assets is increasingly relevant for an integrated international carbon market § ‘Comparability’ and ‘fungibility’ involve determining the climate change mitigation value of carbon assets and determining trading ratios for carbon assets or ‘carbon exchange rates’ Key Components 1. Independent assessment framework to determine the climate change mitigation value of carbon assets and enable their fungibility in the international market. 2. International Carbon Asset Reserve to support and facilitate carbon market related functions. 3. International Settlement Platform to track cross-border trades and possible clearing house function. § Mitigation value and carbon exchange rates together constitute an approach to facilitating an integrated international carbon market Strictly Confidential © 2013 30
