This paper reviews the possibilities for win-win climate and development outcomes in programmes that distribute improved efficiency cookstoves (ICS) with the use of carbon finance. The authors note that ICS technologies form an important, if asymmetrical, environment-development interface and illustrate the mutually supported local (development) and global (climate change) benefits of continued improved stoves use. The paper describes the ways in which programme results are highly contextual and that, in practice, there are a number of challenges to achieving effective win-win outcomes.

People all over the world are being confronted with the reality of climate change. For some, climate change is simply a matter of changes in weather patterns, but for others, it is a matter of survival: too little water or too much, not enough food to go around, risks to safety and security. The purpose of this report is to provoke thought, dialogue and debate by practitioners and policy makers on the issue of vulnerability to climate change and on approaches to vulnerability assessment in policy and in practice.

This policy brief emerges from a process of analysis of the status and quality of the public policies on climate change and development in ten Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Colombia, El Salvador and Paraguay. It suggests that policies generated should have quality in the design, be implemented effectively, and guarantee institutional strengthening, greater awareness through social communication, and political and social support, for achieving its goals.

Publication dateObjective
The objective of this Mitigation Momentum Project paper is to identify open issues for the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) pertaining to key dimensions of MRV, as recognised by MRV literature and UNFCCC texts, namely: transparency, robustness and feasibility and cost-effectiveness. It pays particular attention to NAMAs with a supported component and reflects relevant experiences with developing NAMA proposals in the five Mitigation Momentum countries (Chile, Indonesia, Kenya, Peru and Tunisia).
