Sustainable Development and Transition in Eastern Partnership Countries:Environment, Energy and Climate
EC-UNDP Seminar - Brussels, Oct. 12, 2012
Common Root Causes & Obstacles
Governance and Institutions
Capacities and Skills
Policies, Regulations
Financing and Incentives
Drained peatlands extracted for fuel
State of Affairs
The Issues
Ecosystems and Natural Resources• Land Degradation, Water,
Biodiversity Loss
Energy and Climate Mitigation• Renewable Energy and
Energy Efficiency
Chemicals• HCFCs and other ODS
Vulnerability to Climate Impacts, Disaster Risk Reduction
BEFORE
AFTER
State of Affairs (2)
Removing Barriers, Pressures, Threats (policies, regulations, capacities, institutions, behavior, finance)
Creating a favorable environment for investments from public and private sector – ODA is not sufficient
Approach and Positioning
Sustainable Human Development; Inclusive Green Growth; MDGs
Environment, Energy, Climate
Policy dialogue, knowledge sharing Projects, access to financing

International Waters
• 1960: 14.2% of the country2012: 6.4% of the country 71% drained for agriculture, forestry, fuel extraction
• Ecosystem restoration - hydro-technical works in the field to raise the ground-water table to soil level
• 28,000ha restored. In addition to environmental benefits, development dividends for local communities: cranberries, fish grounds, ecotourism + policy changes
Belarus - Peatlands
Before
After
• Phase out for HCFCs under Montreal ProtocolCurtail HCFC consumption
• Legislative measures to control HCFC import/use; supply of analytical and servicing equipment/tools for the Environmental Inspectorate and Customs Departments and refrigeration technicians; technological conversions for solvents and rigid foams
• Protecting human health and the environment by assisting countries to phase out consumption and production, and prevent releases of ODS
Contributing to sound management of chemicals
Regional (Belarus, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan) - Accelerated HCFC Phase Out
• New legal and regulatory framework for rehabilitation of DH systems, including feed-in tariff for power generation
• USD 10m direct foreign (private) investments leveraged into new DH system (Avan district of Yerevan, 213 buildings, 30.000 residents)
• System features combined heat and electricity and introduced apartment level metering
• 640 new contracts signed between customers and heat supply companies in the pilot areas
Armenia - Energy Efficient District Heating
Heat meter installed at the entrance to an apartment in Avan district of Yerevan
Multi-apartment panel building with exhaust chimney from gas heater installed in one apartment
Areas for Collaboration
Promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency programmes - SE4ALL
Management of Ecosystems and Natural Resources - including sust. agriculture, forests, peatlands, pastures
Climate adaptation – Crisis and Disasters Transboundary water programmes such as the Black
Sea Sound chemicals
