Title of the Readiness and Preparatory Support Proposal Green Climate Fund Readiness and Preparatory Support Uruguay 6. Brief summary of the request (200 words) In the last years, Uruguay has increased its political commitment in relation to climate change aspects. The institutional framework has evolved towards a deeper involvement of relevant stakeholders and early actions have been taken to face the impacts and to mitigate the causes of climate change. Being a highly vulnerable country, Uruguay has facilitated adaptation measures in priority sectors, such as agriculture, coastal areas and related to risk management. Regarding mitigation, the country achieved the decarbonization of the electric grid (98.7% of the electricity generated in March 2016 came from renewable energies) and progress in the primary energy mix, reaching 57% of renewable sources in 2015. In this context, the Government of Uruguay seeks to strengthen the National Designated Authority (NDA) to the Fund and lay the ground for the development of a strategic framework for engagement with GCF, including the preparation of concept notes within the country programme.

PAGE 3 OF 23 ver. 17 MAY 2016 Institutional arrangements for the engagement with the GCF will be strengthened, including not only the NDA (MVOTMA), but also other institutions (particularly the Ministry of Economy and Finance, MEF), in relation to aspects and procedures of the GCF, and in relation to needed coordination with different stakeholders to carry forward the readiness work plan. MVOTMA will lead a consultative process with relevant stakeholders, in order to assess and identify potential accredited entities and future investment opportunities. Monitoring systems of climate finance will be also established, building on existing mechanisms. 7. Total requested amount and currency MVOTMA will build on existing institutional arrangements (in particular the National Climate Change Response System) to develop the strategic framework for engagement with the GCF. The framework will also be consistent with the National Policy of Climate Change under elaboration and the NDC to be submitted by the country in 2017. It will also include a national strategic investment framework, based on the consideration and analysis of adaptation and mitigation needs for the country. 370,000 USD (including DP fee) 8.

PAGE 9 OF 23 ver. 17 MAY 2017 SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please explain how this grant will help deliver on the country s readiness needs as identified above and build on institutions, processes or existing work already underway in the country (maximum 500 words) Since the creation of the UNFCCC, Uruguay has been an active country in the scope of climate change. Moreover, during the last six years this process has been enhanced and emphasized through the implementation of new institutional arrangements and the development of very relevant early actions and the ratification of the Paris Agreement in October 2017. After ratifying the UNFCCC in 1994 and the Kyoto Protocol in 2000, Uruguay made a qualitative step by creating the National System to Respond to Climate Change (SNRCC) in 2009, a cross cutting scope where national policies and actions relevant to mitigating and adapting to climate change are coordinated, looking for synergies and potential leveraged benefits. Relevant Ministries, local governments, National Emergency System and the Planning and Budgetary office of the Presidency are represented in it. In the framework of the SNRCC the National Plan to Respond to Climate Change was elaborated in 2010 and the National Policy of Climate Change (PNCC) is under elaboration at the moment. The PNCC is a crucial input for the development model of the country, since it will contribute to a sustainable, resilient and low carbon pathway. In this framework during 2017 the National Environmental System, the National Environmental Cabinet and the National Environment, Water and Climate Change Secretariat were created to strengthen environmental commitment, including climate change aspects. Uruguay is particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Every year it is impacted by extreme events such as severe storms, floods, droughts, cold and heat weaves, high winds, tornadoes, hail, frost and heavy rain affecting our populations, infrastructure, productive processes and our ecosystems and biodiversity. The coastal area, which stands out for its importance at economic level (more than 70% of the GDP comes from coastal activities mainly tourism and 70% of the population lives in it) its natural wealth (its biodiversity is of global relevance and it contains diverse coastal habitats) and culture, is one of the areas seriously affected by the increase in intensity of extreme events and sea level. The country has carried out different efforts to adapt this sector to climate change. Such efforts are related with: i) raising awareness among decision makers about climate change, which is crucial for the development of policies and practices to adapt coastal resources to climate change; ii) production of valuable technical information to provide inputs for the national policies and regulations governing coastal area planning and management and local land use and coastal management plans; and iii) identification of adaptation measures, some of which are being implemented in pilot areas. All these efforts are being integrated within the national adaptation plan process in the coastal sector that is being developed by the national and local governments to reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and to facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a coherent manner, into relevant policies, programmes and activities. The Uruguayan economy is based mainly on the agricultural sector, which produces food goods for nine times its population. Agriculture vulnerability to variability and climate change impacts is severe, jeopardizing food production and ultimately food security. The Política Uruguay Agrointeligente (Uruguay Agro-intelligent Policy) has been under implementation for the last years, through the introduction of new agriculture practices,

PAGE 10 OF 23 ver. 17 MAY 2017 including new machinery and sowing technologies. With this, the productivity in the sector has increased considerably, allowing a sustainable growth, keeping GEI emissions under control and generating synergies with adaptation measures. Uruguay set a very ambitious energy policy (Política Energética 2030) in 2008, which, since then, has transformed the energy matrix, and at the same time has contributed to a structural change of the economy, including energy independence and lowering climate vulnerability. The country has transited a path of incorporation of renewable sources to the primary energy mix and in particular in the electric subsector (reaching 57% and 96% in 2015, respectively). The Energy Policy has also a strategic line regarding energy efficiency, which has also been successful in its implementation. Based on state promotion during the 1990s, the forest area with commercial purposes has increased remarkably (430% in 20 years) and it is expected to continue growing in the next years, while there is no deforestation of the native forest, protected by law. Uruguay has submitted four National Communications. It has also submitted the INDCs and the First BUR at the end of 2015 and is currently elaborating the NDC to be submitted in 2017. Apart from that, it has submitted seven NAMAs to the International NAMA Registry of the UNFCCC at early stages, being one of the first countries in making use of that instrument. The country has made great progress in its mitigation actions in the last years. The energy transformation and other mitigation and adaptation measures implemented have signified a great effort for the country, which has mainly made use of its own resources to face the impacts and to mitigate the causes of the climate change. The vulnerability that the Uruguayan economy presents to climate change is huge, in particular regarding the country role in the food production and in terms of food security at a global level. The impacts of climate change have shown to cause strong economic, social and environmental losses during the last years. The country needs additional resources to be able to deepen the adaptation actions, and at the same time to continue developing mitigation measures which contribute to the last objective of the Convention and to reach the targets defined by Uruguay, in a framework of upcoming international commitments. It is increasingly obvious the need for developing countries to have the appropriate tools and means of implementation to face the challenges of climate change. In that sense, the effectiveness of the financial mechanisms is fundamental and consequently, it is important that State institutions (in particular Ministries of Finance in coordination with the environmental authority) join efforts for the most efficient application of financing tools and resources. Government institutions should enhance its capacities and the coordination among actors that have may not been involved directly in climate change issues before (as financial institutions). In the case of Uruguay, the Ministry of Housing, Land Planning and Environment, as the NDA, will assume the management of the activities derived from its relation with the Fund. The strengthened capabilities and the effective coordination among relevant actors should reflect in concrete and effective actions in the country, which could improve live conditions and contribute to a sustainable, resilient and low carbon development. Related to the previous, international resources are crucial for the implementation of the INDC submitted by the country last year; there is a wide range of actions that need support to be developed.

PAGE 11 OF 23 ver. 17 MAY 2017 The National Policy of Climate Change (PNCC) under elaboration will give the strategic lines needed and the proper framework to capture and channel the international resources in an efficient way. In that sense, the Readiness and Preparatory Support is fundamental to leverage the application of the PNCC and the ongoing actions through the strategic framework with the GCF, and facilitate the future resources allocation through the strengthening of the NDA and the coordination with relevant stakeholders. The Government of Uruguay designated as NDA to the GCF the Ministry of Housing, Land Planning and Environment, having included also an official from the Ministry of Economy and Finance. On the other hand, the country selected the UNDP as the Delivery Partner to implement the Readiness Program.

Under Clause 4 of said Framework Agreement, the Delivery Partner shall be entitled to submit two Requests for Disbursement each year. Each such Request for Disbursement must be submitted to the Fund within 30 days of receipt by the Fund of the Portfolio Report referred to in Section 9.02 UNDP-GEF is entitled to submit its first request for disbursement at any time for newly approved projects. Thereafter, UNDP-GEF will submit cash disbursement requests for six months (portfolio level) twice a year (one in January and one in July). Additional information This box provides an opportunity to include further explanations related to the budget, procurement plan and disbursement schedule, including any details on the assumptions to justify costs presented in the budget. To accomplish the activities described in the logical framework, it is necessary to include travel costs, since it is expected that the consultants need to make different trips within the country during the project lifetime. This refers to bilateral or multilateral exchange with relevant stakeholders, as well as to build capacities among institutional and private actors. Travel expenses can also be used by different actors in case of workshops held in Montevideo or other cities in the country. Regarding the supplies item, consumables for the project management office and workshops are considered there.

UNDP has been requested to be the delivery partner for this readiness programme, but might also be the international IE for the project proposals to be presented by Uruguay to the Fund. Conflicts of interests may arise, in which case the NDA will implement the following measures to manage them: - The roles of coordination and facilitation of the NDA and UNDP respectively are clearly differentiated in this document. - The prioritization of investments and projects to be developed will be made through a broad consultation process with relevant stakeholders, including other potential implementing entities for Uruguay, and the final validation of these priorities will be carried out by the National System to Respond to Climate Change (SNRCC) with the participation of other government agencies to ensure chosen priorities are fully aligned with national plans and strategies and adequately include inputs from consulted stakeholders. UNDP will not take part in the project prioritization process.
