MAPS Chile: Why this project now

• Challenges: Chile’s pledge 20/20; low carbon development (OECD); securing/enhancing competitiveness; previous research efforts available, but…

• Opportunities: sustainable development; income distribution • Governmental project – leadership • Active component of national policy on climate change – answering

fundamental questions; coordinated with: – NAMAs, Third National Communication, Low Emissions Development Strategy,

Partnership for Market Readiness, and others

The QUESTIONS we want to answer

• Mandate from an Inter Ministerial Steering Committee

– What are the most efficient and effective mitigation options to comply with the international commitments on climate change? Among these, which are the most feasible and favorable to implement?

– What are opportunities and trade-offs associated with the various mitigation options in terms of alleviating poverty, contributing to positive macro and micro economic results, and allowing Chile to gain and secure its international competitiveness?

– What are the key links between adaptation and mitigation options in the country?

– What are the key public policy measures, instruments and private initiatives that would contribute to climate change mitigation in order to enhance low carbon development?

The EXPECTED RESULTS

• Quantitative scenarios (Required by Science RBS, Business as Usual BAU) and options for mitigating climate change in Chile 2020, 2030 and 2050.

• A palette of concrete and preferred mitigation options for the key sectors and their appropriate modeling approaches

• Web-based, user- friendly simulation tools will be explored as a means to communicate and disseminate results.

• A contribution to the design of a low emissions development strategy (road map for a low carbon economy).

• Outreach materials in diverse formats aimed at key stakeholder.

• Implementation of knowledge management tools relating to climate change in Chile.

• Feedback (opinions, concerns, ideas, etc.) from the diverse stakeholders on key issues related to climate change.

• Relevant experience on best practices for multi-stakeholder participatory processes on sustainability issues in the country.

Coordination and supervision by core research group. Tender processes for specific research packages will be opened to experts/institutions.

Research CHALLENGES

• Modelling assumptions/agreements

• Integration of sectoral models

• Integration of economic dimensions

• Strategic assessment approach (social, environmental, economic; impacts, indicators)

• Mitigation Actions “library”

• Long term horizon

The PROCESS

Three phases:

1. BAU and RBS

2. Mitigation options/packages

3. Outreach and policy discussion

Process for Phase 1

Opportunities for LEARNING and DOING

• South-South Cooperation

• Project basic funding to be secured (c. US$ 2,5 millions; CIFF, Gov of Chile, CDKN, Swiss Gov); looking for opportunities to incorporate other dimensions – Adaptation

– Poverty

– Communications

– Subnational participation

– Science…

Where we ARE and NEXT STEPS

• So far

– Steering Committee and Strategic Advisory Committee already in place and working together with project team

– UNDP implementing agency: working on contracts

– Comprehensive mapping of available studies and researchers; preliminary desing and implementation of knowledge management platform

– Agreement on criteria for SBT; preliminary mapping of potential participants; interviews

– First research workshop with 45 researchers working on climate change and related subjects

• Next Steps

– Logo and web site development

– Terms of Reference for BAU and RBS (end of year)

– Public seminar (January 2012)

– First SBT meeting (March 2012)
