The

4 PAGE 3 OF 48 Ver. 27 April 2018 request NDC targets to reduce GHG emissions by 37% in 2025 and 43% in The project Mitigation Options of GHG Emissions in Key Sectors in Brazil, prepared in a partnership between the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications (MCTIC) and UN Environment, indicated a rationale that takes into consideration sector cost-effectiveness and key technologies for compliance with the NDC. 2 However, it is necessary to establish a national consensus where Technology Action Plans can build from, aiming at developing local content of priority technologies and sectors for compliance with the NDC. Therefore, this proposal seeks to develop a comprehensive Technology Needs Assessment for the Implementation of Climate Action Plans in Brazil through the following two outcomes and four activities: Outcome 1. Country capacity strengthened o Activity 1 Establish an effective coordination mechanism for the implementation of the TNA process Outcome 2. Access to finance o Activity 2 Identification and Prioritization of the sectors and technologies to mitigate GHG emissions for compliance with the NDC o Activity 3 Elaborate the roadmaps for the implementation of the priority technologies for compliance with the NDC o Activity 4 Validation of the Technology Action Plan for the development of local content of priority technologies for compliance with the NDC The baseline from the Mitigation Options of GHG Emissions in Key Sectors in Brazil project and the Third Communication of Brazil to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 3 points out to technologies and key sectors for the fulfilment of national mitigation commitments. These are in line with strategic axes and investment areas in the Background Document for discussions about Brazil s strategy for the Green Climate Fund GCF 4, which will be the basis for the drafting of Brazil s Country Work Programme. 5 The outcomes of this TNA project will provide subsidies for the country to develop good projects to submit to GCF, since it will build a technology roadmap to serve as a guide on the analysis and construction of Funding Proposals for the Fund. Besides that, the workshops and stakeholders engagement predicted on project's activities will amplify the engagement of relevant actors on the Brazilian society with the GCF, specially improving their knowledge about funding and project development possibilities, and also will foster analytical capacity on the Ministries involved in the no-objection procedure in Brazil (coordinated by the Ministry of Finance), thus improving the quality of proposals submitted by the country to GCF. As well as key low-carbon activities that must be adopted in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sectors (Afolu) and energy system aiming at fulfilling the NDC, respectively. The anticipated outcomes from the assistance will be tailored to the conditions in Brazil and thus will be of immediate use to support the goals of the current climate political strategies, such as the National Policy on Climate Change PNMC, the National Plan on Climate Change, the National Adaptation Plan PNA, and the Brazilian NDC. The requested assistance is aligned with Brazil s NDC, as it will allow for its complete implementation, as well as create, by means of the development of local content of key low-carbon technologies, for the adoption of more ambitious mitigation plans as at Finally, the project s outcomes will be made available and will be used to upgrade the National Emissions Registration System SIRENE, 6 which will make outcomes more 1 Available at: < 2 Available at: < e1d40c5>. 3 Available at: < 4 Available at: < 5 It is important to remark that Brazil has already exchanged a draft version of the Country Program with the GCF Secretariat; the current estimative is to submit the final Country Program to the Secretariat until May 2018, in order to enable the presentation of the document at B Platform created in 2016, with the aim of granting security, perenniality and transparency to the process of drafting inventories of greenhouse gas emissions, and support decision-making within the scope of policies, plans, and projects in the area of climate change in the country.

16 SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PAGE 15 OF 48 Ver. 27 April 2018 The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established during the Earth Summit, in 1992, in Rio de Janeiro. The Convention s main goal is to stabilize GHG concentrations at a level that avoids a harmful anthropogenic interference in the climate system. This objective must be achieved within a timeframe that allows for the adaptation of ecosystems, sustainable development and does not threaten food production. The Paris Agreement is the most recent climate agreement, entered into force during the 21 st Conference of the Parties (COP21) of the UNFCCC, in Its central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change and the ability of countries to deal with associated impacts. The Agreement was approved by the 195 countries that are part of UNFCCC, aiming at reducing GHG emissions, keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees by Brazil submitted the document ratifying the Paris Agreement in September 2016, which took effect at the international level in November In this document, Brazil committed to adopt measures to reduce GHG emissions by means of a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The Brazilian NDC committed to reduce GHG emissions by 37% in 2025 (with reference to emissions reported in the Second National Communication of Brazil to the UNFCCC), with a possible effort to reach 43% below the 2005 level by 2030, which is equivalent to an emissions cap of 1,300 and 1,200 MtCO 2e in 2025 and 2030, respectively. The implementation of mitigation actions brings costs and opportunities for economic sectors in the country. Identifying cost-effectiveness of mitigation options requires an integrated approach that combines measures to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and emissions from land use and land use changes. The project Mitigation Options of GHG Emissions in Key Sectors in Brazil, prepared in a partnership between the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications (MCTIC) and UN Environment, indicated a rationale that takes into consideration sector cost-effectiveness and key technologies for compliance with the NDC. However, it is necessary to establish a national consensus where Technology Action Plans can build from, aiming at developing local content of priority technologies and sectors for compliance with the NDC. Therefore, this proposal supported by CTCN seeks to develop a comprehensive Technology Needs Assessment for the Implementation of Climate Action Plans in Brazil through the following two outcomes and four activities: Outcome 1. Country capacity strengthened o Activity 1 Establish an effective coordination mechanism for the implementation of the TNA process Outcome 2. Access to finance o Activity 2 Identification and Prioritization of the sectors and technologies to mitigate GHG emissions for compliance with the NDC o Activity 3 Elaborate the roadmaps for the implementation of the priority technologies for compliance with the NDC o Activity 4 Validation of the Technology Action Plan for the development of local content of priority technologies for compliance with the NDC This assistance will promote utilization of key data for key technologies and sectors for compliance with the Brazilian NDC, which will be made available, as the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications contribution, at the National Emissions Registry System (SIRENE in the Portuguese acronym). SIRENE is a relevant tool that grants security and transparency to the outcomes of national GHG emissions, and is acknowledged by the Brazilian Government as a landmark for the establishment of the measuring, report and verification process, being an effective tool to assist decision makers in the context of policies, plans, programs and projects that aim at complying with national and international plans to tackle climate change. Therefore, this project s outcomes will upgrade SIRENE, by means of incorporating information from Outcomes 1and 2 herein, such as: mitigation potential and costs; technology roadmaps; Technology Action Plans; cost-effectiveness ranking of key mitigation options; among others. The anticipated

17 PAGE 16 OF 48 Ver. 27 April 2018 outcomes from the assistance will be tailored to the conditions in Brazil and thus will be of immediate use to support the goals of the current climatic political strategies, such as the National Policy on Climate Change PNMC, the National Plan on Climate Change, the National Adaptation Plan and Brazilian NDC. The requested assistance is aligned with Brazil s NDC, as it will allow for its complete implementation, as well as create, by means of the development of local content of key low-carbon technologies, for the adoption of more ambitious mitigation plans as at The outcomes of the assistance are designed to address a critical knowledge gap and provide an essential platform for future projects and funding. Lack of reliable technologies mitigation data are often a serious impediment for the ability to execute meaningful climate mitigation projects, thus the outcomes of this assistance will also have the potential to serve as a catalyser for financing of larger projects focusing on climate mitigation within Brazil. The Technological Action Plan (TAP) resulting from this proposal will guide, with regard to the use of low carbon technologies, for the execution of projects aligned to the effective implementation of NDC of Brazil, considering the potential of mitigation of for each technology prioritized in TNA. Such information, validated by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will serve as a basis to Brazilian NDA for the selection and prioritization of technology projects to be presented to the GCF. Regarding the connections between the TAP and Brazil's Country Program to GCF, it is important to remark that the TAC will be an important tool for the identification of possibilities and further development of new projects aligned with the main strategic axes and areas of investment mapped on the Country Program, since it will provide a cost-effective panel of mitigation technologies to be considered and implemented by these projects. In addition, the workshops and stakeholder engagement predicted on project's activities, especially Activity 4.4, will enhance the knowledge about climate funding possibilities and also the analytical capacity for development of proposals aligned with the GCF criteria in relevant actors in the Brazilian society. Finally, the workshops and activities will also foster capacity-building on the Ministries involved in the no-objection procedure in Brazil, coordinated by the Ministry of Finance, thus improving the quality of proposals submitted by the country to GCF.

This mitigation strategies include: - Establishment of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) composed of climate change experts and members of the federal government responsible for sectoral policies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change; - Careful selection of consultant to act as technical coordinator of the project; - Prioritization of sectors and technologies; - Promotion workshops, seminars and trainings aimed at engagement of key stakeholders; - National Direction of the project under the responsibility of the technical team of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications (MCTIC) integrating the National Designated Entity (NDE) for the UNFCCC technology mechanism; - Brazil recognizes the importance of the TNA to support national actions to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases. An indicative risk and contingency plan is listed below. Description of risk Risk level Mitigation measures 1. Risk of delay in the implementation of the readiness programme activities 2. Risk of lack of communication with key stakeholders Medium Low MCTIC and UN Environment puts the progress of the project portfolio at the top of national priorities. A technical coordinator will be hired to assist in the procedures for hiring consultants, as well as ensuring that the products are delivered on time and that they are technically robust. The MCTIC is already well connected with the main stakeholders, since it integrates the structure of climate governance in Brazil; coordinates the Interministerial Commission on Global Climate Change (CIMGC), which includes key climate actors at the government level; acts as Designated National Entity for the technological mechanism of the UNFCCC; is responsible for the elaboration of the national inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and the National Communication of Brazil to the UNFCCC, which requires strong interaction with the public, private and academic sectors; coordinates the Brazilian Research Network on Global Climate Change For these reasons, it will be able promote the information flows towards the public, NGOs, academy and all relevant stakeholders as well. 3. Weak stakeholder engagement Low The project team will ensure key government stakeholders are involved throughout the process. To this end, it will form the Technical Advisory Committee, and will hold workshops aimed at validating the outputs, as well as the engagement of key stakeholders. 4. Lack of interest Low Awareness activities, such as regional seminars and training, will be given to interested stakeholders.

43 PROPOSALTEMPLATE PAGE 42 OF 48 ver. 27 April 2018 Annex I. Logical Framework PROJECT SUMMARY INDICATORS BASELINES TARGETS / INTENDED RESULTS - There is a lack of robust data for the selection of low-carbon key technologies aimed at implementing the NDC; OUTCOMES National Designated Entity (NDE) for the Technology Mechanism leads effective coordination mechanism for the implementation of the TNA - Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) officially established. - Work plan elaborated by the national coordination team (MCTIC/UN environment) and endorsed by the TAC - Stakeholder group defined for the engagement by the TAC in the TNA process - Roles and responsibilities of main stakeholder groups in the TNA process and method of engagement defined by the TAC. - Knowledge on climate change is robust but technology priorities have not been planned or addressed for compliance with NDC targets. - The MCTIC is already well connected with the main stakeholders, since it integrates the structure of climate governance in Brazil; coordinates the Interministerial Commission on Global Climate Change (CIMGC), which includes key climate actors at the government level; acts as Designated National Entity for the technological mechanism of the UNFCCC; is responsible for the elaboration of the national inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and the National Communication of Brazil to the UNFCCC, which requires strong interaction with the public, private and academic sectors; coordinates the Brazilian Research Network on Global Climate Change. However, Brazil lacks consistent technical information to support the indication of low-carbon key technologies, based on cost-effective criteria, for the implementation of the NDC.For these reasons, it will be able promote the information flows towards the public, NGOs, academy and all relevant stakeholders as well. - Validation of low-carbon key technologies for compliance with the NDC; - Engagement of key actors and sectors on technology priorities for compliance with the NDC; - Promoting a comprehensive participation of key stakeholders in preparing the TNA; - Prioritize low-carbon technologies, according to the development agenda, and the strategy to implement the NDC from the first reviewing cycle.

44 PROPOSALTEMPLATE PAGE 43 OF 48 ver. 27 April 2018 Funding proposal development, including Technology Needs Assessment for the Implementation of Climate Action Plans in Brazil - Definition of low-carbon technologies and key sectors for compliance with the NDC; - Capacity-building for public policy makers to improve the development of low-carbon technologies; - Establishment of guidelines for the identification of climate technologies that are more suitable for the Brazilian conditions, with high leverage potential and transformation impact. - Transparency in communicating the project s outcomes - The Mitigation Options of GHG Emissions in Key Sectors in Brazil project identified technological priorities for compliance with the NDC via a rational of costs and mitigation potential. However, key technologies still have to be prioritized according to institutional, political, social and other criteria; - Capacitation level of key stakeholders is different in relation to the formulation of public policies instruments that will promote Brazil s technological transition to a low carbon economy; - Despite the existing national industrial and technological strategy, it is necessary to insert criteria that promote the development and diffusion of low-carbon technologies; - The development of technically robust studies is pivotal to promote the necessary transparency towards the communication of results. This aspect is still poorly used in the making of public policies at a national level. - Prioritize and validate low-carbon key technologies from a multi-criteria analysis, and achieving consensus among the key stakeholders; - Standardization of capacities to implement the Technology Action Plans; - Foster the technological and industrial strategy to implement the NDC of key Technologies identified by the project; - - Broad dissemination and insertion of the project s outcomes in public databases, such as the National Emissions Registry System (SIRENE).

48 PROPOSALTEMPLATE PAGE 47 OF 48 ver. 27 April 2018 Annex I - Clarifications about the type of Readiness support sought The Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) process maps a country s long-term development priorities, and also identifies technologies that may achieve those priorities with less greenhouse gas emissions and more resilience towards climate change. Additionally, the TNA identifies and assesses barriers that hinder the implementation and diffusion of prioritized technologies, as well as actions towards overcoming those barriers, including technology enabling structures. The final step in a TNA process is the development of Technology Action Plans (TAP), which will support the implementation of prioritized technologies within the country, at the desired scale, in order to achieve the climate and development benefits identified in the TNA. In other words, TAPs are based on actions indicated in a TNA to overcome obstacles to the implementation of technology, and describe how to implement such actions, including who is in charge, and when and where to get funding. In essence, TAPs are a bridge between prioritized technologies assessment and their implementation. TAPs enable the identification of concrete actions needed to successfully implement technologies and develop proposals pointing to technology investments that might be considered by public and private investors. It also provides information on how to approach and tackle obstacles and advance the development, transfer, implementation and diffusion of prioritized technologies within the country. Along these lines, and also considering the guidelines of Brazil s Program for the Green Climate Fund, particularly regarding the contribution for the implementation of NDC using the Green Climate Fund s resources in order to reduce implementation costs of national mitigation and adaptation objectives, the Country Program s strategic axis will be contemplated in the TNA, in a way to contribute to the development of local content and capacities for the achievement of the NDC, as per activities 2, 3 and 4 presented in this Readiness Proposal. Besides, the technologies prioritized in line with the strategic axes of the Country Program will provide consolidated and validated technical subsidies to the Brazilian DNA to select and prioritize climate technology projects proposals that are eligible to the GCF s resources. This Readiness Proposal is also consistent with Decision14/CP.22 paragraph 6 (Linkages between the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism of the Convention): Invites Green Climate Fund national designated authorities and focal points to use the support available to the Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme to, inter alia, conduct technology needs assessment and develop technology action plans.

49 PROPOSALTEMPLATE PAGE 48 OF 48 ver. 27 April 2018 Annex 2. Project Management Cost justification The project will be executed by UN Environment (Brazil Office with support from Paris Office) on behalf of the Government of Brazil. UN Environment will therefore perform the project management function in accordance with its policies, rules, regulations and procedures. This will include the following tasks: Support the hiring of external consultants and/or services, when and as necessary and according to the activities and resources defined in the Project and in the workplan; Process, in accordance with MCTIC pre-approved workplan, all administrative actions required for achieving the objective of the project, including hiring consultants, establishing partnership agreements, and organize workshops/trainings, in compliance with the established criteria for technical quality, costs and timeframes; Cooperate with MCTIC on the elaboration the workplan for the implementation of the TNA/TAP process; Day to day coordination and follow-up with MCTIC, consultants and project partners; Participate in project meetings/events (inception workshop, stakeholder consultations ); Whenever necessary and jointly with MCTIC, draft budgetary and financial revisions, as well as annual work plan updates, as established under the Project; Manage the financial resources of the Project according to the applicable UN accounting and financial procedures, and forward, to MCTIC, Project financial execution reports every three months; Monitor and evaluate activities of the Project; Facilitate the access to copies of documents relating to administrative and financial management of the Project to the public control bodies, when applicable; Cooperate with MCTIC on the elaboration of Progress Reports and the Final Report of the Project; Coordinate communication of progress, results, success stories and best practices, and facilitate experience sharing with other TNA countries. The Project Manager will be a national consultant hired by the UN Environment s Project officer through a selective process. She/he, under supervision of the Project Officer, will be responsible to overview the programmatic and financial activities of the project and will work in close collaboration with the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications to implement the outcomes/outputs established in the Readiness Proposal. The expected remuneration for this consultant is USD 36,000 (USD x 18 months). UN Environment is located inside the UN House in Brazil. With the addition of a new member to the office (project manager), it becomes necessary to include this cost to cover basic necessities (such as electricity, security, internet, Office supplies and others) that will be used by the Project manager (USD x 18 months).in this context, we clarify that Brazilian law does not allow the allocation of consultants in the dependencies of public agencies, such that the project manager should carry out the activities for which he will be contracted at the UN Environment office. Thus, the Project Manager compensation and allocation alone costs 8.7% of total activities. The remainder will be used to acquire the minimum instruments needed by the Project Manager to deliver the products (USD 2,500): a laptop computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse and to cover missions to the five Regional Seminars and TNA meetings (USD 5,000).
