Slide3Human development and energy access
Close link between energy poverty & income povertyEnergy is expensive & resources are exhaustibleFor advancement of HD investment in sustainable energy is essential:Globally, 1.3 Billion people lack modern energy serviceProvision with <1% increase of global carbon emissions possibleInvestment of $48 billion per year neededGreat advancement in energy efficiency under green economy:~40% decrease in global energy demand by 2050 Significant increase in clean energy investments underwayUS $162 billion in 2009US$180-200 billion in 2010

Slide4MDG - sustainable energy linkages
Access to clean energy reduces the fuel import bills
Lightning in schools and at home help children do more homework
Modern energy services saves time for survival activities (cooking inefficiently, manual farm work)
Globally indoor air pollution contributes to respiratory infections that account for up to 20% of child mortality
Energy services are needed to provide access to better medical facilities for maternal care
Electricity in health centers enables night activities, and allows full use of equipments
Cleaner and efficient fuels reduce GHG emissions
Slide5The Secretary-General’s Initiative – a comprehensive approach with 3 goals.
Make use of collective UN strengths to: Make Sustainable Energy for All agenda international priorityAchieve Rio+20 commitments for three global goals and implementation mechanisms.2012 – Year for Sustainable energy for all
Slide6Key elements of sustainable energy development
The Institutional FrameworkGovernments: provide enabling environment and regulatory frameworkPrivate sector to manufacture, sell and service energy productsNGOs/CBOs: community mobilization, consumer awareness, information dissemination
Financial institutions: loans and micro-financing mix of financing options, e.g. subsidy, user contribution and loan
building capacities of MFIs and suppliers
The right technology - a robust modern technology
Suitable to the local lifestyle
Possible to expand and create employment

Slide8Mongolia - challenges
Trade-off between economic growth & ecosystem balanceInefficiency in energy and material use (often poverty driven): High intensity of energy in productionLack of technology transition and know-howMDG Targets – more than a half are off-track
High economic growth vs. persistent poverty rate Inequity - adjusted HDI - 14% low (2011):
Within the countries with same range of HDI
Urban air pollution – 6th in the world
Per capita GHG emission - 3x higher
Per capita ecological footprints - 2x higher
Slide9Relevant UNDP support
Acceleration Framework for MDGs lagging behind Analyzing bottlenecks, determining priorities and supporting implementation of selected interventionsBuilding energy efficiency – climate change mitigationLong-term measures for emission reduction & abatement of air pollution Improvement of Building Codes, Norms and Standards system
Energy efficient housing designs Study on public instruments to promote de-risking of renewable energy investments
Mongolia – pilot country
Slide10Potentials for further cooperation
10Renewable Energy:Off-grid and decentralized solutionsFeasibility studies for solar concentrator for power generationDetailed studies for wind and solar energy potentials
Upscaling renewable energy use (combined solar/wind heaters etc.)Waste management and energy generation:
Feasibility of producing energy from municipal waste
Energy efficiency:
Compliance with BCNS for energy efficiency
Labeling of commercial buildings & appliances (HVAC etc.)
Sustainable transportation
Public Private Partnerships in sustainable energy development
Slide11Conclusions
Sustainable development, MDG achievement and energy access are closely linkedIncreased investment in sustainable/clean energy is inevitableGovernment leadership and commitment are essentialStable policy and regulatory frameworkFinancing innovation and transformation UNDP commitment to support energy access to all11-May-1211
