Circular Economy Approach to Towns/Cities of Guyana Overall Objectives of NAMA 3 pillar approach to Greening the Economy of Guyana to achieve: economic prosperity, environmental integrity and social well-being. Goal: Greening the 9 (10) cities of Guyana through a holistic circular economy approach: Goal 1: Increasing share of Renewables and Energy Efficiency, Goal 2: Accelerate sustainable waste management, recycling and re-use and composting, Goal 3: Land-use Planning (Industrial and Agriculture Zones and Tourism Belt). National development strategies & Policies NAMA objectives and goals fully embedded in national development strategies and policies: Constitution, International Obligations (NDC, SDGs), CRSAP, National Agriculture Strategy, Energy Policy, Environmental Protection Act and Regulations, Low Carbon Development Strategy. Green Bartica Pilot Town Goal 1: Low Carbon Development: Increase of renewable energies in the energy mix (e.g. hydro power plant, solar), Utilization of biomass, Energy efficiency measures, Low carbon clay brick factories. Green Bartica Pilot Town Goal 2: Improved waste management: managed landfill sites, recycling industries, improved composting, waste water recycling. Green Bartica Pilot Town Goal 3: Utilizing of local resources for Sustainable livelihoods: Revenue generation through sustainable food production and climate smart agriculture (cattle, Tilapia, pastures, crops), eco-tourism, jewelleries and furniture. Early Actions Early actions under Goal 1 to showcase feasibility: Grid-connected solar PV (1.5 MW), School and governmental buildings electrification (rooftop solar/on-going), Street lighting (on-going). Supporting Measures Enabling Policies: Inter-ministerial briefs, adoption of town council, Updated Energy Policy Framework, by-laws, Careful zoning, Establish building codes, Legislations for FiTs and Public Private Partnerships, Incentives for renewable energy & energy efficiency (appliances, lighting), Rigorous climate proofing. Supporting Measures Technical Support Measures: Data collection surveys across sectors, ESIA, Land use surveys (map analysis, ground analysis, gps data), Economic studies (resource assessment, municipality development, marketing strategies, business development, identification of economic start-up units), Feasibility Studies for renewable additions, including hybrid systems. Interventions Awareness Raising and consultations: On-going consultations process, Community meetings, Stakeholder buy-in, Marketing and de-risking framework, Commercial training models (through banks). Finance mechanism - Energy Private Sector REIR (RE Interest Relief) system building on the MIR experience, Tax exemptions for EE appliances and EE lighting, RE equipment (existing incentives); Businesses: IPP and PPP model (under development), FiT (Energy Policy and Legislation) and competitive bidding / auctions for energy demand (grid connected RE). Finance mechanism – Business development Revolving loan fund for concessional loans (building on the SBG model) for 3 Business lines: Low Carbon Development (ESCOs), Sustainable Waste Management
