NEEDS Climate Change Maldives

Maldives accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the climate domain. Through various initiatives the government attained a clear assessment of the challenges posed by climate change and also identified the measures needed to address these challenges. However, implementation has been lagging partly due to lack of linkages with national development plans and international financial instruments. The National Economic, Environment and Development Studies (NEEDS) for Climate Change project aims to identify the financing needs in order to implement adaptation and mitigation measures. It will also identify the linkages with financial and regulatory instruments that will support the implementation of these measures. The NEEDS initiative helps identifying how to finance the Maldivian vision and it will be critical in integrating climate change priorities into the eighth National Development Plan, which is scheduled to be developed in 2010. NEEDS relies on stakeholder consultations, existing policy documents and studies from the Maldives and international reference documents. Our main tasks were:
- Work towards a GHG emission baseline for 2009
- Priorities and costing of mitigation of climate change in the short, medium and long term
- Cross check development plans and climate change initiatives
- Identify financial and policy instruments for implementing selected climate change initiatives

Low carbon policy tracker for Europe

The goal of the project was to evaluate the level of development and implementation of European directives and national legislation regarding climate change in Romania. Our task was to provide an overview of and an assessment of the different policies of EU member states that affect GHG emissions, to contribute to the national, EU-wide and international policy debate. The model used by us was applied to 15 member states and for an additional 12 countries a simplified method was applied. We have analysed the climate policies in all policy areas that influence emissions. Policies on renewable energy and energy efficiency were considered separately in more detail. The analysis was performed for individual sectors: energy production, industry, buildings, transport, agriculture and forestry.

Sustainable waste management in Romania

International conference for sustainable waste management in Romania. The aim of the conference was to start a dialogue and a debate on the role of the informal sector in the solid waste management in Romania and the challenges they face in the process of modernization. The formal sector was represented by the waste management companies which are operating nowadays in Romania, while the informal sector was represented by the persons or groups which are working next to the formal sector for selective waste collection, recycling or any other activity related to waste management. Besides these, an important group of stakeholders was represented by the policy makers and the waste management planners, such as: the Romanian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, the County Councils of Romania and the Local Councils.

Romania, on its way to sustainability

The project had the aim of the development of a tailor made Sustainable Society Index, SSI, for Romania. The results were published, both in Romanian and in English. Through presentations, workshops and individual coaching, organizations and authorities were stimulated and supported to use the SSI. Besides developing the SSI on a national level, the index is serviceable for regional use. So each region in Romania is able to use its own index. The project has been initiated by the Sustainable Society Foundation and realized by two Romanian consultancy firms: VeraNatura and Green Partners, in close cooperation with NCSD, the National Center for Sustainable Development in Bucharest. The project has been subsidized by Matra, a Dutch subsidy programme. More information can be found on the official website.
