2 WBG Climate Change Action Plan explicitly points to NDC implementation The WBG will support countries in translating their NDCs into climate policies and investment plans into actions. With selected partners, the WBG will create, share, pilot, and implement new and innovative solution packages that answer client countries demands, especially those linked to their NDCs, and continue contributing to the global debate on climate and development. Easily accessible, consolidated one stop shop data will be made available to all staff on climate impacts, NDCs, climate finance, analytic tools and methodologies.

3 What is the WBG doing to support NDC implementation? NDC implementation support is already showing up as part of our regular technical assistance and investment lending work WBG-wide NDC working group that meets every 4-6 weeks Guidance to sectoral and regional teams on country-level NDC priorities IFC analysis of private sector investment opportunities linked to NDC implementation NDC content database and country briefs, providing standardized information on the contents of every (I)NDC submitted to the UNFCCC

7 The WBG and the NDC Partnership Member of the 11-member Steering Committee, representing the perspective of multi-lateral financing institutions. Member of the Joint Work Plan, composed of institutional members (UNDP, UNFCCC, WRI) that have also received financial support from the Government of Germany to kick-start support to countries under the auspices of the Partnership. The WBG will work collaboratively in several NDCP member countries (still TBD) to deliver technical advisory services while simultaneously working to improve the country s intragovernmental climate planning and cross-donor climate technical assistance efforts. Other NDC-focused initiatives managed by the Bank will contribute to the overall work and success of the NDC Partnership.

8 What resources are available to help NDC implementation for WBG investments? The NDCP Support Facility is a new Climate Change CCSAmanaged trust fund specifically designed to support NDC implementation via bank-executed projects: 10m initial support of the German government Promotes technical assistance, capacity building, donor and technical assistance coordination. 2 year pilot (CY17-18). Current funds are allocated to 23 projects in 18 countries. Facility aims to leverage other resources including public and private funds. Existing climate-focused trust funds, some of which have an explicit NDC carve-out

10 New targeted NDC technical assistance initiative: Climate Action Peer Exchange (CAPE) Launched by the Kingdom of Morocco and WBG at COP22. Seeks to help Finance Ministries build capacity to design fiscal policies to support NDC implementation and realize the benefits that well-designed fiscal climate policies can have for more traditional, non-environmental objectives of Finance Ministries. Creates a community of practice promoting peer exchange, self-evaluation + sharing of best practices. Key issues for discussion may include climate-informed budgeting, carbon pricing, green taxation, green bonds, risk insurance, fossil fuel subsidy reforms, and macroeconomic modelling of climate risks and NDCs.
