Central to the NAMA concept is that climate mitigation and sustainable development goals can go hand For example, Colombia is exploring how NAMAs can be used to promote transit-oriented development, improve By changing long-term land use patterns, the TOD NAMA ensures reductions in greenhouse gases for decades What we need now is a way to accelerate the matching of promising NAMA concepts with enabling investment shared interests and overcoming barriers to agreements that will make NAMA implementation a reality

As nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) are proposed by developing countries to significantly from 1980 to 2007. NAMAs are becoming a viable option to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. These NAMAs are wide-ranging and can include measures to enhance travel efficiency, reduce fuel carbon from decreased fuel costs.

The NAMA mechanism calls for greenhouse gas mitigation actions by developing countries in the context Learning from the successes and limitations of the CDM – as well as from past unilateral, bilateral and In fact, the best use of international support is likely to differ from sector to sector, and from country goals from the larger and more restricted funding sources, including from bilateral and multi-lateral For more information on how to design and finance NAMAs to realize this vision, see the full paper, An

captures best practices of climate change mitigation actions from around the world. drawn from policies that have successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions while contributing to measurable Examples range from innovative schemes to promote energy efficiency in countries like Singapore and Mexico , to multi-modal transportation networks in Colombia and China, to financing mechanisms for renewable Ultimately, CCAP hopes this effort will help move the NAMA concept forward and inspire policymakers to

NAMA finance is a critical component of the NAMA mechanism and is essential to getting NAMAs off the projects: capacity building in the developing country, NAMA design, NAMA implementation, and investment to NAMAs or NAMA-like actions. The different types of support are given in different forms (e.g., grants, loans, loan guarantees, equity To realize the desired sector-wide climate mitigation action, financial support is needed in each of
