Against the backdrop of population increase, changing dietary patterns, increased affluence and rising demands on land for the generation of biofuels, agricultural productivity is required to increase significantly in the coming years. This increase will take place in a context of constrained resources and a changing global climate requiring increased adaptive capacity and increased resilience of agricultural systems. At the same time, agricultural activities are contributing significantly to climate change, with agricultural production and the food supply chain being responsible for up to a third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In general, all used lead-acid batteries obtained from collection points for discarded batteries are considered hazardous waste and can only be legally transported out of the country with a written consent from the authorities.

Under the Nordic Partnership Initiative (NPI), the Nordic governments in cooperation with the Nordic Development Fund (NDF) and the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) have supported readiness to design and implement robust climate action within the cement sector in Vietnam and the waste sector in Peru, in close partnership with the implementing countries. Readiness activities have now resulted in comprehensive NAMA proposals that hopefully can attract financing from various sources, including carbon markets.

The Nordic Partnership Initiative on Up-Scaled Mitigation Action (NPI) has been established in December 2011 to support climate change mitigation efforts in developing countries. The NPI is funded by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and implemented in co-operation with Peru and Vietnam. The implementing partner in Peru is the Ministry of Environment of Peru (MINAM).

La Iniciativa de la Asociación de Países Nórdicos para las Acciones de Mitigación (NPI, por sus siglas en inglés) se constituyó en diciembre de 2011 con la finalidad de apoyar los esfuerzos de mitigación del cambio climático en los países en desarrollo. La NPI fue fundada por Dinamarca, Finlandia, Islandia, Noruega y Suecia e implementada en colaboración con Perú y Vietnam. El socio colaborador para la implementación en Perú es el Ministerio del Ambiente de Perú (MINAM).

En Perú, el Programa de Preparación de Medidas de Mitigación apropiadas para cada pais (NAMA, por sus siglas en inglés) elaborado en virtud de la NPI se implementó entre agosto de 2013 y junio de 2015 y se centró en los residuos sólidos municipales, es decir, residuos domésticos y residuos procedentes de actividades comerciales y turísticas. El Programa de preparación dio lugar a una propuesta de NAMA a gran escala para el sector de residuos en Perú.

The aim of the Initiative is to demonstrate how innovativefinancial and regulatory incentives as well as the removingof barriers can achieve sector-wide greenhouse gasemission reductions in developing countries. The initiativealso aims at building capacity in developing countries. Using a bottom-up methodology that draws heavily on theinput of local stakeholders, NAMA Readiness Programmeshave been conducted in Peru and Vietnam.

Under the Paris Agreement, the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) requirements for greenhouse gas emissions of all countries will be harmonised. Sector-wide MRV systems developed for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), such as in the NAMA Readiness Programmes established under the Nordic Partnership Initiative in Vietnam and Peru, can provide important lessons learned for the development of the new transparency rules. NAMAs can serve as concrete building blocks for future Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.

This fact sheet illustrates the extensive climate support provided by the Nordic Countries for developing countries, which includes various kinds of grants, loans and guarantees, as well as vital technical assistance.

Women in the rural regions of developing countries suffer most from climate change, due to its impacts on their routine activities such as fetching water and growing crops. Since women are most affected, women need to participate in all climate actions and have access to resources and technologies designed to facilitate adaptation, otherwise gender inequality will worsen.

Meanwhile, choices largely made by women in both rich and poor countries related to feeding their families and running their homes have a considerable impact on global greenhouse gas emissions. Women can therefore play a vital role in mitigating climate change.

The Nordic Countries have actively integrated gender issues into international climate actions and policies and support many initiatives designed to make climate actions more gender-sensitive.

The NAMA Readiness Programme for Vietnam’s cement sector has been on-going since March 2014. It focuses on improving the energy efficiency of the country’s cement sector and mitigating the resulting carbon emissions. The Programme is expected to enable Vietnam to prepare for a full-scale Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) in the cement sector. The NAMA would count as a part of Vietnam’s contribution under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC ) and allow the sector to attract international support towards the implementation of the proposal.

Climate change, caused by human activity, brings greater risk to all life on earth. Every year, rising average temperatures increase the probability of storms, floods and droughts becoming more severe, destroying homes, livelihoods and local economies, as well as displacing people. Women and children bear much of the burden of these changes. In November 2017, a first ever Gender Action Plan (GAP) was adopted, putting gender firmly on the agenda in the global climate negotiations.

The fact sheet Closing the gap on gender and climate policy highlights the importance of the GAP and presents examples of activities that contribute to the fulfilment of the action plan.
