Climate policy mapping and analysis

4

Objective of the Mapping and Analysis Exercise

What you can expect to learn from this exercise:

• Identify national policy instruments • Learn about criteria for assessing the effectiveness of policy instruments

(their strengths and weaknesses)

Ultimately, to convey an idea of how participants could draw their own policy map as a step towards improving their country’s Climate Finance Readiness

Policy Instrument Mapping - Exercise

How to draw a policy map

1. Think of sectors that could be of relevance for Climate Finance (e.g. buildings, infrastructure, agriculture)

2. Review the existing policy landscape: a. Identify policy instruments – regulations and market-based

instruments – relevant for Climate Finance.

b. Estimate how effective these policies are according to certain criteria.

7

Policy Instrument Mapping - Criteria

Step 1According to the introduction of policy instruments in the overview

presentation, which sectors seem relevant to you?

Step 3Looking at the policy instruments you identified: How effective are these

policy instruments, considering the following criteria?

Costs for the public sector

Environmental impact

Costs for the private sector

11

Assessment of Criteria

How much does the public sector invest in this instrument ?

What are the costs for the private sector e.g. households ?

Costs for the public sector

Does the instrument lead to considerable environmental impact e.g. CO2 reductions?

How great are the (positive) environmental impacts expected to be from the instrument?

How high are the costs to the private sector of implementing the instrument?

low medium great

Policy Instrument Mapping Exercise

Now it is your turn to do the exercise!

Now, break up into groups of 4 people

Step 1: List the sectors that could be relevant for climate related policy instruments (e.g. buildings, energy).

Step 2: Brainstorm on policy instruments that are relevant for climate finance. Differentiate between regulations and market-based instruments.

Step 3: Draw the policy mapStep 4: Assess 2-3 policy instruments that you identified in step 2 with regards

to costs for the public sector, environmental impact and costs for the private sector. Which instrument(s) have low/medium/high/ costs or impacts?

Policy Instrument Mapping Exercise

Based on the results from your assessments, discuss:

• Which instruments seem most efficient for your country in view of their costs/impacts?

• What are potential downsides of the policy instruments analysed?

17

Policy Instrument Mapping – Reflections

Getting CLIF ready

• How easy did you find it to assess the costs and impacts of the policy instruments?

• Which instruments have great costs but uncertain impacts?

• Which instruments do you find useful? Why?

Policy Instrument Mapping – Next Steps

Checklist to get CLIF ready

According to what you learnt from this exercise you could …

Think about how you or your institution could conduct a policy mapping and analysis in your country.

Reflect on which criteria would be useful in your country for such an analysis.
