CCDPs help to overcome traditional barriers to sustainable growthEXAMPLES

… can be overcome trough CCDPsClassic barriers …

▪ Limited fact base and solution space ▪ Provides a holistic fact base for optimal decision making

▪ Lack of alignment within government and other stakeholders

▪ Convenes and align all relevant stakeholders

▪ Perceived trade-offs between economic growth and sustainability

▪ Creates win-win situations for economic growth and sustainability

▪ Capacity constraints at leadership and technical level

▪ Injects external support to build institutions and capabilities

▪ Overly academic & technical approach ▪ Approaches CCDPs with a pragmatic, action oriented and fast-acting mindset

The benefits of climate compatible development plans are synergistic with both economic and social development goals

Energy Security

Strengthened balance of payments

Gains from carbon trading

Readiness for a carbon regulated future

Green business opportunities

Reduced pollution

Reputation as leader in sustainability

The Dominican Republic already has central elements in place which make it an ideal candidate for a successful CCDP

Strong trajectory of economic growth & development

Sustainability as one of four central pillars in National Development Plan

Institutional readiness through

▪ High commitment levels of the Ministry of Environment

▪ Environmental specialists at central ministries established underlining the seriousness of mitigation efforts

▪ Establishment of Consejo Nacional de Cambio Climático y Mecanismo de Desarollo Limpio

Natural hazards (hurricanes, earthquakes) present a high risk to population and economy, accelerating need for adaptation

The German Ministry of Environment (BMU) as sponsor for the development of a CCDP

14|

▪ Craft a Climate-Compatible Development Plan including

– An integrated strategy for the DR

– Action plans for 3 - 4 priority sectors

– Cross-institutional capabilities and ownership

A climate-compatible development plan (CCDP) will seamlessly complement existing policy and plans of the DR along 3 horizons

Already completedin 2010

To be achieved as of H2 2011

To be achieved during H1 2011

▪ National DevelopmentPlan “A journey to transformation into a better country”

▪ Develop and pass new legislation on energy savings and efficiency

▪ Develop holistic reform of domestic water and sanitation sector

▪ Craft and put in place an overall environmental risk management system

Project objectives and approach

Project approachProject objectives

▪ Develop a transformative Climate Compatible Development Plan

▪ Build-on past and ongoing efforts on economic development and climate change within existing mechanisms (e.g. National Development Plan)

▪ Move from CCDP insights into actionsand develop a sectoral action plan and high level implementation road-map

▪ Build on the timeline and deliverables of the existing proposal, to be refined based on the specific country requirements

▪ Catalyze/communicate transitiontoward a climate-compatible future on a global and national level

▪ Drill down on 3 - 4 priority sectors for economic importance and GHG emissions

18|

As an initial hypothesis, priority sectors for the DR on CCDP are Energy, Transportation, Tourism and Agriculture / Forestry

▪ Opportunities in ecotourism (e.g. Costa Rica)

▪ Tourism footprint reduction (esp. aviation, transport, hotels)

Energy Transportation

Agriculture & ForestryTourism

▪ Land use and crop productivity

▪ Sustainable forestry / net afforestation

▪ Low emission or fuel efficient vehicles

▪ Explore biofuels potentials

▪ Ramp-up of public transportation

▪ Reduction of pollution and urban congestion

▪ Energy mix and renewables strategy

▪ Energy efficiency (esp. reduction of losses)

▪ Transmission and distribution

PHASE 1

19|

Working principles of CCDP development (1/2)

Country relevance and ownership

▪ Country ownership and buy-in essential to project success and implementation of results

▪ Scope, approach and timeline tailored to country specific circumstances

Strict confidentiality procedures

▪ All data shared with CfRN and McKinsey will be treated a country IP

▪ Further data sharing only upon explicit consent of country government

Co-creation and capability building

▪ Country leadership, technical staff, CfRN and McKinsey work continuously together, ensuring both co-creation and ownership of the end products

▪ Sustainable capability building at country-level through co-creation process

DETAILED STAKEHOLDER MAP IN APPENDIX

20|

Working principles of CCDP development (2/2)

Frequent interactions

▪ At least bi-weekly interaction with all key stakeholders from the ministries (at technical level)

▪ At least monthly interaction with more senior level stakeholders

Close coordination & syndication

▪ Diligent recording of data sources and assumptions and transparency within Country government, CfRN and McKinsey

▪ Syndication of assumptions and results with (broad) number of stakeholders as necessary and appropriate seen by Country government

Economic development mindset

DETAILED STAKEHOLDER MAP IN APPENDIX

▪ Country CCDP developed taking into account economic development priorities and GHG mitigation ambitions

▪ Philosophy: fact base, hypothesis driven (80/20) approach and iterative
