Brief context of Chile

Despite representing only 0.25% of global GHG emissions, Chile is highly vulnerable to Climate Change

Developing

country

with

increasing GHG emissionsAccording to economic assessments, the effects of Climate Change could cost 1.1% of National GDP annually

 Explanation

51. The BUR provides information on NAMAs in a tabular format. In addition, the BUR includes a description of other related

sectoral

measures that have been initiated or are planned, including actions by the private sector, in a more limited tabular format. These other measures, many of which have been implemented, include educational programmes, regulations and programmes that will support the implementation of future mitigation actions, including identified NAMAs. Chile, noted in comments to the TTE,

that there is a lack of information on the progress of the implementation for all the actions identified, but that it is working to gather this information and intends to report in its next BUR.

Mostly implementedInformation

on progress in the implementation has been gathered to the

extent as possible34. Chile reported information on anthropogenic emissions by sources of HFCs and PFCs. However, information on SF6

was not reported. In providing its feedback to the TTE on the draft summary report, Chile indicated that it is working to improve data collection for SF6, and expects to include this information in its subsequent BUR.

Challenges and barriers

Barrier

Explanation

To

set up a National inventory system and

work with the lastest IPCC methodologies

We set up the

SNI-Chile back in 2012 and the updating cycle for the first

BUR started in 2013We received technical support and training from IPCC and LECBTo

understand the scope of the guidelines and agree common definitions for mitigation actions and support receivedChile used

as example the reporting guidelines

for NATCOM for annex I

countries, especially to undersatnd

how to report mitigation

actions.We agree

to work with a common

understanding of what is finantial support, technology transfer and capacity building to organize the

reporting of chapter 4

Some examples of 1st BURSlide13

Challenges and barriers

for the BUR 1 and 2Challenge/

Barrier

Explanation

To include information on

SF6 and improve information in some specific categories related to private sector (eg. Cement production)After first BUR was easier to approach to the private sector to ask for information for the improvement of the estimations

To include better information related to the progress of mitigation

actions (policies

) and calculate the impact to extend as possible

We received important support to train our technical focal points in key aspects like indicators, baselines, and MRV systems.We developed and MRV framework for mitigation actions in order to standardize the information from the sectors

Some examples of 2nd BURSlide14

Regional cooperation: REDINGEI

Introduction and background

Some of the biggest gaps that LAC countries face in updating their

NatComs

and BURs are related to the development of NGI and to the challenges of maintaining stable NIS over time.

Main challenges deal with having adequate institutional arrangements and counting with the creation and maintenance of sustainable technical capacities in order to inform/support domestic policy on climate change.

To overcome these gaps, the GSP is willing to strengthen South-South cooperation, through the support to the formalization and strengthening of the Latin American Network on NGI (RedINGEI), which was initially established by the Government of Chile in 2013.

In the short term, the network began its operations with a limited number of countries and then go on to expand its membership each year. In 2016, the countries invited to join were:

Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, México, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú and Uruguay.Slide15

General purpose of the network

To maintain a South-South cooperation network in NGI among LAC

spanish

-speaking countries, in order to facilitate the sustainable development of

technical and institutional capacities

through exchange of experience and adoption of best practices.

The Network will facilitate knowledge exchange through a different range of tools and mechanisms (e.g. virtual network, webinars, thematic workshops, bilateral exchanges), providing technical support on, inter alia:

Different models for institutional arrangements.

Sharing implementation strategies to operationalize components of the NIS.

Strengthening capacities in the use of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines Domestic MRV processes, systems and arrangements

Addressing data collection barriers and implementing QA/QC. Developing mock assessments and experts reviews.Initially, the network is working primarily to strengthen capacities and exchange experiences on

technical issues related to the development NGI and to their NIS. In addition, integration will be encouraged with other areas of

NatCom, the BUR and INDC).Slide16

Main activities developed and planned

During 2016 the activities were:

Establish the formal arrangements to implement the Network.

Identify main barriers and support needs by members countries.

Launch the Network in participating countries. First meeting was held in Chile (August 2016).

Drafting the Network’s Working Plan.

Provide access to at least two members per country to virtual courses on the 2006 IPCC.

Guidelines for national GHG inventory.

Establish the Network general coordinator (Chile was elected).

During 2017 the activities will be:

Finish and implement the Network’s Working Plan including inter alia prioritized areas for technical support, webinars and any other appropriate tool/knowledge mechanism.Develop the second Network meeting which be based on data management (July, Argentina)Establish a virtual knowledge and dissemination web platform.Continue the bilateral and multilateral knowledge exchanges (ex. Paraguay workshop).

Implement a regional Quality Assurance (QA) process.

Search for new sources of financial and technical support (ex. CBIT). Slide17

Remaining challenges

Sustainability of current arrangements

Integration of climate change indicators and MRV as an assessment tool for

sectoral

institutions

Improve capacities on tools for estimate mitigation impacts

Centralize information gathering and management trough a unique platform, to improve and optimize reporting times (MRV hub)Include the lesson learned during BUR elaboration process and ICA for the new arrangement and design for the NDC’s MRV Slide18
