Climate Finance and Public private Cooperation

  • Developed and coordinated for a consortium of 9 organizations, a successful multi million (EU), multi-year project bid to identify, develop and learn from Low carbon resilient projects in various countries in Africa, Asia and regionally in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to help implement them using an innovative Agile/Scum policy and project learning methodology; the resulting “Learning By Doing” International Climate Initiative (ICI) project is to be launched February 1st, 2019.

  • Developed and coordinated and consortium of 10 companies to provide NDC and finance support for the NDC InvestPlatform at the IADB, currently in operation.

  • Delivered a 2016 – 2017 UN ECLAC/Euroclima project to identify means to finance low carbon and climate resilient projects under various Countries Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and outline options to finance mitigation / Adaptation projects. 

  • ·     Energeia delivered an advisory and consultation project for the Prince of Wales International Sustainability Unit (ISU) on food security and finance for the Mexico G20 Summit, following on the text emerging from the Rio +20 conference, and on various regional and global initiatives on sustainability and climate change, 

  • ·     Energeia Provided advisory services to the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the Department for Food, Rural Affairs and Agriculture (DEFRA) and subsequently for the  Department for Energy and climate Change (DECC) to set up climate development funds at multilateral funds at the World Bank, the Inter American Development Bank, the African Development Bank, and the Asian Development Bank, and presented to the IADB Executive directors board the proposal that resulted in the SECCI climate framework. 

  • ·     Energeia developed for the office of Prime Minister Blair and the office of the Secretary of State Margaret Beckett to launch and chair Gleneagles Dialogue on Low Carbon Economy and led the Prime Minister special envoys office´s  regional outreach and climate finance under the dialogue, and and advised DFID on the Clean Energy investment framework arising from the G8 2005 summit, and in its implementation by WB and regional development banks.  

  • Energeia organized and co led meetings on scaling up climate finance in Asia for UN ESCAP (3 meetings, with 13 countries), UN ECLAC, Latin America (7 meetings, with 12 countries), as well as to People´s Republic of China’s NDR Council in Beijing, at the Asia Pacific Business Forum (Kunming, China) and presented results in several Negotiation fora (Gleneagles dialogue, London Carbon Markets meeting) (2007 – 2009)

  • Energeia advised the Madrid Club of former heads of state on International climate finance on behalf of UK, and coordinated Regional Climate Economics projects and funding in LAC & South East Asia.

  • Energeia produced report on a Climate Financial framework for development Banks in Mexico (Nacional Financiera, NAFINSA; and Banco Nacional de Obras Públicas, BANOBRAS) under the IADB.

  • Energeia developed an approach (Strategic Program Approaches or SPA) combining carbon markets and national contributions, for the World Bank Carbon Partnership and for the UNFCCC Expert Group of Technology Transfer (2008). 

  • Energeia produced for the IADB the Concept Note that resulted into the FINANZAS CARBONO platform from the IADB (2008).

NDC Implementation and Support

  • Energeia supported Ricardo AEA and CDKN in their joint INDC support – helped support the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Bangladesh and Kenya in the development of their INDCs for a CDKN and EU commission project (2015 – 2016)

  • Energeia provided advisory Services to Germany´s BMUB and GIZ for the preparation and presented at the Global NDC conference in Berlin, 2015. 

  • Provided Advisory services to Germany and South Africa Mitigation and MRV partnership to prepare and present at the Summer School on Mitigation and MRV, organized by Mexico and Germany, Cuernavaca, Morelos, México (2015)

  • Energeia advanced Research on the synergies between mitigation, adaptation, and capacity building –later becoming a core component of the Lima Call for climate action – and the subsequent Paris negotiation text, supported by CDKN, Avina Foundation and Germany´s BMUB (2014 – 2015)

  • Prepared Research project on inclusion of co-benefits and synergies within INDCs for the Climate and Development Network (CDKN) (2015).

Climate and Low carbon economics and Research

  • Energeia helped organize, develop and deliver the ACT2015 Consortium; a EU & private foundation EU multimillion Grant to 9 international organizations consortium to develop and produce a draft Paris treaty text, drafted it in legal form, and disseminated with accompanying explanatory memoranda and supporting documents. The draft proposal had a 85% overlap with the resulting text. 

  • Energeia Co-led with Japan and the UK, the steering committee research team of scientists from the 20 world largest country emitters that first modelled very low (i.e. 70 – to 90% carbon reductions) and defined what a low carbon society looked like in the context of these reductions becoming sustainable and permanent  (2006 - 2009).

  • Energeia Developed a Climate Change mediated modelling and economics methodology (the economics of boldness, EoB) for negotiation support, simultaneously using workshops and integrated climate / Economic analysis modelling to calculate risk reducing interactions between regional impact, mitigation, adaptation and carbon and investment inflows at different levels of global developed and developing mitigation commitments; and tested hypothesis and results with UK DFID and FCO support in 12 LAC countries throughout 2008 and 2009. Discussed outputs at COP15 sponsored by CR, Colombia and Peru; at Lima UN Finance ministries meeting (2009, 2010); at the OECD Climate Change Economics Seminar, Paris, October 2009. Subsequently at ASEAN Experts meeting on EoB (Thailand, 2010), at the Asia – Europe meeting (Vietnam, 2010) and at Central America Clean Energy Conference in Guatemala based on Economics of boldness results (2010), as well as at Costa Rica regional negotiators meeting, organized by the Govts. of CR, UK and France (San Jose 2009).
