CCDPs help to overcome traditional barriers to sustainable growthEXAMPLES
… can be overcome trough CCDPsClassic barriers …
▪ Limited fact base and solution space ▪ Provides a holistic fact base for optimal decision making
▪ Lack of alignment within government and other stakeholders
▪ Convenes and align all relevant stakeholders
▪ Perceived trade-offs between economic growth and sustainability
▪ Creates win-win situations for economic growth and sustainability
▪ Capacity constraints at leadership and technical level
▪ Injects external support to build institutions and capabilities
▪ Overly academic & technical approach ▪ Approaches CCDPs with a pragmatic, action oriented and fast-acting mindset

The benefits of climate compatible development plans are synergistic with both economic and social development goals
Energy Security
Strengthened balance of payments
Gains from carbon trading
Readiness for a carbon regulated future
Green business opportunities
Reduced pollution
Reputation as leader in sustainability

The Dominican Republic already has central elements in place which make it an ideal candidate for a successful CCDP
Strong trajectory of economic growth & development
Sustainability as one of four central pillars in National Development Plan
Institutional readiness through
▪ High commitment levels of the Ministry of Environment
▪ Environmental specialists at central ministries established underlining the seriousness of mitigation efforts
▪ Establishment of Consejo Nacional de Cambio Climático y Mecanismo de Desarollo Limpio
Natural hazards (hurricanes, earthquakes) present a high risk to population and economy, accelerating need for adaptation
The German Ministry of Environment (BMU) as sponsor for the development of a CCDP
14|
▪ Craft a Climate-Compatible Development Plan including
– An integrated strategy for the DR
– Action plans for 3 - 4 priority sectors
– Cross-institutional capabilities and ownership
A climate-compatible development plan (CCDP) will seamlessly complement existing policy and plans of the DR along 3 horizons
Already completedin 2010
To be achieved as of H2 2011
To be achieved during H1 2011
▪ National DevelopmentPlan “A journey to transformation into a better country”
▪ Develop and pass new legislation on energy savings and efficiency
▪ Develop holistic reform of domestic water and sanitation sector
▪ Craft and put in place an overall environmental risk management system

Project objectives and approach
Project approachProject objectives
▪ Develop a transformative Climate Compatible Development Plan
▪ Build-on past and ongoing efforts on economic development and climate change within existing mechanisms (e.g. National Development Plan)
▪ Move from CCDP insights into actionsand develop a sectoral action plan and high level implementation road-map
▪ Build on the timeline and deliverables of the existing proposal, to be refined based on the specific country requirements
▪ Catalyze/communicate transitiontoward a climate-compatible future on a global and national level
▪ Drill down on 3 - 4 priority sectors for economic importance and GHG emissions
18|
As an initial hypothesis, priority sectors for the DR on CCDP are Energy, Transportation, Tourism and Agriculture / Forestry
▪ Opportunities in ecotourism (e.g. Costa Rica)
▪ Tourism footprint reduction (esp. aviation, transport, hotels)
Energy Transportation
Agriculture & ForestryTourism
▪ Land use and crop productivity
▪ Sustainable forestry / net afforestation
▪ Low emission or fuel efficient vehicles
▪ Explore biofuels potentials
▪ Ramp-up of public transportation
▪ Reduction of pollution and urban congestion
▪ Energy mix and renewables strategy
▪ Energy efficiency (esp. reduction of losses)
▪ Transmission and distribution
PHASE 1
19|
Working principles of CCDP development (1/2)
Country relevance and ownership
▪ Country ownership and buy-in essential to project success and implementation of results
▪ Scope, approach and timeline tailored to country specific circumstances
Strict confidentiality procedures
▪ All data shared with CfRN and McKinsey will be treated a country IP
▪ Further data sharing only upon explicit consent of country government
Co-creation and capability building
▪ Country leadership, technical staff, CfRN and McKinsey work continuously together, ensuring both co-creation and ownership of the end products
▪ Sustainable capability building at country-level through co-creation process

Working principles of CCDP development (2/2)
Frequent interactions
▪ At least bi-weekly interaction with all key stakeholders from the ministries (at technical level)
▪ At least monthly interaction with more senior level stakeholders
Close coordination & syndication
▪ Diligent recording of data sources and assumptions and transparency within Country government, CfRN and McKinsey
▪ Syndication of assumptions and results with (broad) number of stakeholders as necessary and appropriate seen by Country government
Economic development mindset
DETAILED STAKEHOLDER MAP IN APPENDIX
▪ Country CCDP developed taking into account economic development priorities and GHG mitigation ambitions
▪ Philosophy: fact base, hypothesis driven (80/20) approach and iterative
