Renewable Energy Policy Formulation in PakistanPakistan31/07/2010

The Enabling Climate Change Interventions in Central and West Asia (CICWA) initiative is intended to enhance the ADB’s assistance to Central and West Asian countries in moving towards low-carbon economies whilst sustaining economic growth. This involves assisting countries to increase economic output whilst: i) becoming more efficient in their use of energy; ii) using renewable energy to replace carbon-based fuels in the electrical power sector; iii) accelerating development of low-carbon technologies; iv) changing the behaviour of business and consumers, and; v) preserving and expanding carbon sinks. Six pre-qualified firms/consortia are retained under this indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to receive tender notices for IDC assignments (IDCAs).

Landell Mills has recently been awarded one of the first two IDCAs, Renewable Energy Policy Formulation in Pakistan. The AEDB has initiated a five-year Medium Term renewable energy (RE) policy to take over from the short-term policy which expires at the end of January 2010. This policy envisions a more competitive and deregulated RE market environment, and lays out strategies and policies to exploit various RE resources. The scope of the project is to help formulate this Medium Term policy.

Forestry Ecological Development Project - Preparation Mission (PPTA)People’s Republic of China (PRC)01/06/2009

formerly Silk Road Ecosystem Restoration Project

The Project positively impacts poverty and land degradation through targeted interventions to restore the productive and protective functions of the natural ecosystem along the old Silk Road covering three provinces in north-western China (Xinjiang, Gansu and Shaanxi). Interventions are designed following the Integrated Ecosystem Management (IEM) approach to include:

  • sustainable livelihood development (through economic tree crop development, agro-ecotourism, etc);
  • protection and management of rainfed and oasis areas (through sustainable forest management, reforestation and protection area management), and;
  • strengthening local institutional capacity for effective project implementation.
Carbon / Climate Change A&M / REDD / Ecotourism / Biodiversity / etc The potential value of carbon storage in natural forests in Shaanxi and Gansu will be brought to the market through the development and support of forestry management measurement and monitoring systems that allow the state forest farms (SFFs) to qualify for the climate community and biodiversity carbon market, and receive payments over time. These payments will be used to improve the quality of natural forests and improve the sustainable operations of SFFs. The Project will support the establishment of a new Ecological Forestry Center (EFC) in Xian, Shaanxi which will support the SFFs to manage ecological forests and engage in carbon trades. (From the consultant's final report, appendix 10): Consulting services will assist EFC and the Shaanxi forestry department to
  1. determine the land eligibility for carbon sequestration and possible trading using existing data and maps of the natural or ecological forest areas under the management of SFFs;
  2. determine the carbon pools and sign agreements between EFC and each participating SFF on the ownership of the carbon for possible trade;
  3. determine the carbon sub-project boundaries and areas;
  4. establish the carbon sub-project baseline data (stocks) and enter the data in the management information system (MIS);
  5. assess and manage the baseline data and MIS, including the impacts on local forest communities and biodiversity;
  6. estimate and monitor greenhouse gas benefits in CO2 equivalents with annual projections;
  7. conduct a carbon risk assessment from pest attacks, forest fires, etc. and propose appropriate buffers;
  8. administer and monitor carbon trades according to the MIS and distribute funds to SFFs based on carbon rights.
Training to SFFs will be provided on MIS, forestry management, and third-party auditing requirements.

The Project will yield significant benefits in terms of climate change mitigation and adaption. All tree planting activities, both ecological forestry and economic tree crops components, will significantly support the reduction of carbon sequestration, even if these benefits will not be registered under one of the carbon market schemes. Also, through a combination of sustainable land management practices, soil erosion will reduce, the coverage of biomass (trees, plants, and grasses) will improve, and subsequently soil organic matter will increase. Attempts will be made to quantify the estimates of sequestrated carbon for all components. Adaptation to the impacts of climate change will be supported through assistance to farmers in the planting of more drought and flood resistant crops (as compared to annual crops), reducing reliance on scare water resources, and introducing more sustainable land management practices including sand fixation, re-vegetation of barren lands, reduced wind erosion (shelter belts), improved pest management, and reduced tillage.
