Presentation Format
Background and
Introduction
Sierra Leone National situation and policy context
Mitigation Component of the INDC
Mitigation
targets under the NDC
Monitoring, Reporting And Verification Of The Implementation Of The INDCSlide3
Background and Introduction
The design of Sierra Leone’s INDC
Scope and coverage
Sectors and gases targeted
Priority sectors and gases that contribute most to the national GHG inventory and/or are expected to contribute most in the future
Mitigation commitments under the Copenhagen AccordSlide4
The national context of Sierra Leone
The
country is yet to produce its Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA)
The
National Communications have not produced projections of greenhouse gas emissions for the country
.
Sierra Leone’s INDCs is framed
in terms of desired outcomes
.Slide5
Sierra Leone’s
emission levels are relatively low already.
Sierra Leone could not commit to a certain outcome or result—for example, reducing emissions to a specific level (a greenhouse gas outcome).
The domestic situation Sierra Leone faces i.e. being solely dependent on fuel imports to meet its minimum energy needs, reducing emissions further than BAU can only be achieved through country wide LEDs which the country has already adopted.
Slide6Slide7
Mitigation objectives set under its
NDC
Sierra Leone’s
overall conditionalmitigation
objective set under
its INDC
is
to maintain the emission levels of
the country relatively
Low (close to the world average of 7.58 MtCO2e) by 2035 or neutral by 2050 by reducing her carbon footprint and by following green growth pathways in all economic sectors. Slide8
Mitigation commitments under the Copenhagen Accord
Establishment of the national secretariat for climate change (NSCC) Setting/developing air, water and soil quality standards, and ensure regular assessments and monitoring through control programs.
Expanding clean energy utilization (e.g. solar, mini-hydro electric power, LPG, biomass stoves
etc
).
Development of energy efficiency
programmes
through sensitization and awareness raising campaigns. Sustainable production of charcoal a reduce dependence on firewood
.Slide9
Development of alternative energy sources such as bio-fuels from sugarcane, corn, rice husk, etc
.
Developing
agricultural and urban waste incineration
programmes
for energy production
.
Improved waste management through composting and recycling of waste
.
Development and enforcement of regulations on regular maintenance of vehicles (vehicle emission testing): formulation of transport plans
.
Improved and promoting use of public transport (e.g. road and water): for passengers and cargo to reduce traffic congestion and GHG’s emissions.
Slide10
RE and EE measures set in Sierra Leone’s INDC
Make use of the hydro potential sites as viable mitigation option for the electricity
sector
Promotion of energy efficiency, enhanced management and expansion of the energy mix through uptake of renewable energy sources (Solar, Wind, Hydro, Biomass) particularly in the rural areas of Sierra Leone.Slide11
Targets
In this regard, no RE and EE targets are proposed in
the NDC.
Sierra Leone
is currently working in its 3
rd
National Communication and GHG inventory and estimating the GHG reductions associated to the
reduction target in perspective.
Progressive information towards this end
is expected to be available by the end of
2017 and in subsequent NCs, BURs etc.Slide12
Long term global contribution
Sierra Leone
also presented
an intensity based reduction target by 25 to 35 percent, by 2050 in phases (2020-2030, 2030-2050) compared to 1990 including use of international credits well as the vision to hold per capita emissions in Sierra Leone’s average world level in the longer term.
These unavoidable emissions will have to be eventually compensated through sinks or removals. Slide13
