State of play of NAMAs
> 40 submissions to the UNFCCC Registry: 50% from two countries; 4 unilateral
> NAMA Database contains 83 NAMAs and 32 studies from 34 countries

Regional distribution of NAMAs
> Latin America most active region
– Followed by Africa (not Asia!)
– Europe: Serbia submitted 12 NAMAs
> Broader regional spread than CDM
– Africa and Least Developed countries notably larger share
– Possible reasons
● NAMA emphasize on national appropriateness and sustainable development
● Flexibility in design
● Asian reluctance to phrase mitigation action as NAMAs

> Energy supply still largest share (36%)
– Followed by transport and buildings
> Broader sectoral coverage than in CDM
– Esp. transport and buildings notably more relevant
– Possible reasons
● Less stringent MRV requirements
● Accounting for medium to long term emission reduction and transformational change possible

NAMA success stories
> NAMA facility (UK/Germany) has been set up and finances the implementation of 5 project
– Chile: Self-supply Renewable Energy
– Costa Rica: Low Carbon Coffee NAMA
– Mexico: NAMA for Sustainable New Housing
– Colombia: Transit-oriented Development
– Indonesia: Sustainable Urban Transport Program Indonesia
> Best practice examples for NAMA process
– Indonesia - Institutional framework and coordination of NAMAs
– Bhutan - Application of a rapid gender assessment to identify entry points and targets for women in LEDS/NAMA design
– Lebanon - NAMA Prioritization Process

NAMA outlook and challenges
> Overall level of ambition not sufficient to reach 2°C limit
– Fast progress on NAMAs essential
– Progress on NAMA finance in 2015 agreement
> Is the vague definition of NAMAs an opportunity or a barrier?
– National appropriateness will need to be balanced with need for defining NAMAs further
> Transparency
– Submitted proposals vary in degree of detail
– (Best practice) learning across countries difficult
> Financing
– Level of financing available needs to be sufficient
– Difficult determination of which share of the action is financed
