Climate Action Plan (CAP) Development
Background
The effectiveness of handling climate change issues and urban resilience cannot be separated from few key aspects: the accuracy of development planning at the city level, handling the affected sectors and providing benefits to other sectors (co-benefits), targeting vulnerable groups and risky locations, measurable actions, and finally the availability of sustainable financial support. Although climate change issues are currently becoming sector priorities in the 2020-2024 RPJMN (Mid-term National Development Planning document), it is still necessary to ensure that these issues are well mainstreamed in various sectors and targets.
In relation to the above, one of the CRIC Project objectives is to support the 10 pilot cities to integrate climate strategies from the RPJMN and mainstream specific city’s climate priorities into the RPJMD (Mid-Term City Development Plan). One way to identify city’s climate priorities is through development of local Climate Action Plan (CAP). A CAP should provide evidenced-based measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preventive measures to address the potential climate impact in city development. CAP shall be developed by applying top-down (scientific) and bottom-up (participatory) approaches. Through facilitation from the CRIC Project in developing CAP to the 10 pilot cities, will contribute to the achievement of Indonesia NDCs as part of the global commitment of Paris Agreement.
The technical assistance will be delivered by CRIC in partnership with the national expert, covers a wide range of support including training, workshops, peer-to-peer collaboration, etc.
Urgency of CAP
Climate change is the defining crisis of our time. The urgency to act, respond to climate emergency, as well as the serious consequences of continued inaction, are very clear[1]. Urgency is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as: (of a state or situation) requiring immediate action or attention.
The CAP outlines the basic principles for implementing city’s long-term climate action strategy, thus providing essential guidance for all actors in the economy, society and the scientific and academic community. It is both the basis and a guideline for identifying and fleshing out climate action strategies and measures in the different areas of action. It designed to be an iterative process which capable of incorporating new insights and developments, such as regular reviews, continuous learning and constant improvement. It should be aligned and integrated into development plan which will describe the priority sector and targets.
Purpose
The purpose of CAP development training as follows:
· Develop a pathway to set and deliver an ambitious target of GHGs emissions reduction by 2030, also including intermediate targets and deadlines.
· Demonstrate how the city will adapt and improve its resilience to the climate hazards that may impact the city now, and in future climate change scenarios.
· Detail the wider social, environmental and economic benefits expected from implementing the plan, and improve the equitable distribution of these benefits to the city’s population.
· Outline the city’s governance, powers and the partners who need to be engaged in order to accelerate the delivery of the city’s mitigation targets and resilience goals.
Method
CAP development training will be conducted in person training method which the city team members can directly interact with the trainers and experts in order to ensure the transfer of knowledge and ownership. The training provides and introduction to the theory and practical starting points of mitigation and adaptation to the practical in cities development. Below is the overall process of CAP development training activity:
Picture 1. Overall process of CAP development training
In general, the training will be divided into 4 (four) key topics:
1. General concept of climate change in global, regional and local context
§ Policy related to climate change at national and city levels;
§ Differentiation of mitigation and adaptation, causes and impacts.
2. Mitigation
2a. GHG inventory and emission projection
§ Set a standard template for GHG inventory using SIGN SMART;
§ Establish institutional mechanism for data collection;
§ Generating, collecting, validating and compiling of GHG data.
§ Emission projection modelling to 2030;
2b. Emission reduction target setting
§ Facilitation in setting mitigation target;
§ Identifying, listing and final determination of mitigation strategies towards achieving mitigation targets.
3. Adaptation:
3a. Climate risk and vulnerability assessment using SIDIK
§ Identification of climate hazard and local specific indicators
§ Establish institutional mechanism for data collection;
§ Generating, collecting, validating and compiling of data.
3b. Setting adaptation goals
§ Facilitation in setting adaptation goals;
§ Identifying, listing and final determination of adaptation strategies towards achieving adaptation goals set.
4. CAP development
§ Identify gaps in the existing plans to meet the target of emission reduction and adaptation; identify possible actors for upscaling.
§ Develop time frame for the mitigation and adaptation project activities to meet the target/goals.
§ Setup monitoring and verification method.
The training on CAP development will be delivered on the second year (2021) of CRIC Project activity. Upon validation of the CAP through public consultation with relevant stakeholders, CRIC will identify few innovative mitigation and/or adaptation actions for further piloting through the creation of financing nodes with international financial institution or private sector. To support this process, CRIC project will organize climate financing & PPP training including promotion through project canvassing to potential investors.
During 5 (five) years of CRIC Project intervention, the Project will deliver sustainable and structured capacity building framework covering the whole value chain of climate resilience sector starting from GHG baseline calculation, emission projection and target for reduction, risk and vulnerability assessment, policy exercise, actions development, monitoring and verification, until financial preparation for project canvassing.
