The Paris Agreement • A legally binding, universal agreement • 189 nationally determined contributions (NDCs) • Ambitious long-term goals (well-below 2°C/pursue 1.5°C/global peaking asap/climate neutrality in the second half of the century) • A new "global goal" on adaptation • Dynamic 5-year ambition cycle • Enhanced transparency and accountability • Adaptation at political par with mitigation • Support for poor and vulnerable countries

Supporting Mitigation • OBJECTIVES • Promotinglow emissions and climate-resilient development through, amongothers: • supporting countries in building capacity for low emission development strategies (LEDS) and related nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) • supporting development countries in designing, preparing and submitting Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), which allow governments to determine what effort they will make to reduce emissions • promoting Low-Emissions Urban Development Strategies in Emerging Economy Countries • promoting International Cooperative Initiatives (ICI) and encouraging low-emission development pathways in key sectors like energy efficiency, renewable energy or the reform of energy subsidies • promoting the development and transfer of climate relevant technologies ENGAGEMENTS It is planned to continue mitigation programmes with at least € 150-200 million over the coming years (2014-2020).
Supporting resilience to natural disasters • Given the inextricable links between climate change and • natural disasters , support resilience and disaster risk prevention, management and reduction through, among others: • incorporating disaster risk reduction into its development cooperation activities • promoting an integrated approach to building resilience, bringing together humanitarian action, long-term development cooperation and on-going political engagement, and maximising synergies between interventions across thematic areas and international agendas • promoting DRR and adaptation as twin drivers of sustainable and resilient development • supporting and accelerating the implementation of the comprehensive regional disaster risk reduction strategies and frameworks • enhancing disaster risk management (DRM) and climate change adaptation • supporting the mainstreaming of climate change risk assessment and adaptation into policies and programmes • promoting, innovating and scaling-up ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction in vulnerable countries and regions
Energy and climate change mitigation EU Cooperation on energy OBJECTIVE:help provide affordable and reliable access to sustainable energy, and contribute to sustainable development ENGAGEMENTS: The EU has initiative focal energy cooperation with more than 30 partner countries, to which the EU will allocate more than €3 billion through bilateral and regional envelopes over the next seven years, helping leverage between €15 and 30 billion in loans and equity investments Sustainable Energy for all (SE4All) initiative OBJECTIVE: improving access to sustainable energy in developing countries and helping end energy poverty ENGAGEMENTS: It invests €400 million, leveraging an additional €8 billion ElectriFI OBJECTIVE: blending instrument leveraging private finance for the provision of access to sustainable and clean energy ENGAGEMENTS: €75 million, with an estimated leverage of additional €150 million of private financing over the next seven years period
EU International cooperation: delivering on finance commitments
Promoting renewable energy for climate change mitigation • To promote and support mitigation strategies and sustainable actions that contribute to renewable energy usage and energy use efficiency in rural communities • 1,6 million Euros • Call for proposals closed by now, implementation foreseen as of beginning of 2017
NGO,CSO 11th EDF • Enhancing participatory democracy in Namibia thru the implementation of public policies and programs by strengthening the interaction between civil society GRN and Parliament - Civil Society Support program • 6 million Euros • Implementation is foreseen to start 2017 - technical assistance • Calls will be opened 2017/18
Civil Society program to support : • - implementation of life skills programenvironmental awareness • - implementation of land reform and land development in the NCAs • - implementation of water supply and sanitation policies and programs • - the implementation of community based natural resource management program
Livestock support program in NCAs • Support to adaptation, resilience to climate change by improving livestock farming system • Support to more sustainable use of natural resources – range land • 20 million • Implementation to start 2017 • Calls will be opened to NGOs and private sector mid 2017
Lessons learned • Cooperation, implementation with and thru NGOs has been very positive success story • Civil society approach to adaptation, mitigation, renewable energy, efficiency should be strengthened • Public awareness must be risen much higher, public awareness campaigns are much needed
