The NDC-SF is funding “deep-dives” in a select number of countries. The objective of the initiative is to deploy a whole-of-government approach and scale NDC relevant investments that support a range of actions for NDC implementation and enhancement. The support informs the development of long-term strategies for climate resilience and low-carbon growth. Support is tailored to country-specific conditions and needs and ranges from upstream strategy and planning to downstream actions that correspond to one or more of the NDC-SF’s guiding thematic pillars, namely i) Policy, Strategy and Legislation (ii) Budgeting and Investments (iii) Monitoring & Evaluation.

Caribbean region

The Deep Dive takes an economy-wide approach to accelerating NDC planning and implementation. It focuses on:

i) Strengthening governance, institutional, legal and regulatory frameworks;

ii) Identifying cost-effective policies and investment operations; and

iii) Improving climate finance readiness for NDC implementation.

While NDC planning and implementation are nationally driven processes, the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) countries, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenadines and Antigua & Barbuda have shared NDC priorities, challenges and gaps in NDC implementation. The Deep Dive takes a regional approach to directly support efforts at the national level in these countries as well as other regional activities that are aimed at helping them scale up their NDC implementation. Support is directed at identifying policies, and more importantly, investment options that deliver desired climate change outcomes, in the context of the country’s economic and social goals and the overall development context. By improving climate finance readiness, the Deep Dive also seeks to build capacity for accessing climate finance for NDC implementation. It encompasses multiple sectors including Environment, Energy, Transport, Rural Development, Urban Development and Finance.

The Deep Dive engages Ministries of Environment, Finance and their equivalents in the OECS countries.

Colombia

The Deep Dive supports the government to enhance technical capacity, institutional readiness and cross-sectoral coordination for advancing NDC implementation specifically in the energy, transport, industrial, solid waste and green finance sectors. It aims to deliver transformative impacts through activities such as:

i) Supporting the design and implementation of a national programs on green urban mobility and on modernizing and greening the trucking fleet;

ii) A national program to promote energy efficiency and demand side management;

iii) Supporting Colombia with its green tagging efforts as well as with the issuance of its first sovereign green bond; and

iv) Designing a solid waste management and reuse pilot program.

Lessons from these initiatives at the national and local levels are also expected to inform the government’s update of its NDC and the development of a long-term strategy for climate resilience and low-carbon growth.

A wide range of government counterparts are engaged and supported including the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, Ministry of Housing, Cities and Territories, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism and Ministry of Transportation.

Philippines

The Deep Dive seeks to enable key climate adaptation and mitigation investments and introduce best practices to support the implementation of Philippines' NDC, and increase its ambition in line with the NDC revision cycle. Under three mutually reinforcing pillars, the Deep Dive seeks to:

i) support the implementation of priority reforms to the Risk Resiliency Program to strengthen the achievement of national adaptation priorities through multi-sectoral public planning and budgeting processes;

ii) mainstream adaptation in key sectors, strengthening analytics and tools for identifying and integrating key climate adaptation measures in the agricultural, coastal and infrastructure sectors;

iii) support climate mitigation efforts using carbon-pricing instruments, as well as support engagement with the private sector on key areas of climate action.

Support is primarily provided to counterpart ministries of the target sectors including the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The Deep Dive encompasses the Agriculture, Coastal Resilience, Energy, Transport, Finance and Environment sectors.

South Africa

The Deep Dive supports the government’s implementation and update of its NDC, engaging multiple sectors such as Energy, Transport, Water, Urban Development, Finance and Environment. Activities are centered around three pillars:

i) Supporting transformative policy: climate change is integrated into macro-fiscal planning and budgeting processes, and the NDC translated into concrete actions, with a focus on

carbon budgets and sectoral emission targets and implementation of the national carbon tax;

ii) Closing the financing gap: infrastructure investment needs to achieve the NDC and vision for 2050 are being assessed and capacity building is targeted at enabling the country to access and monitor the use of international climate finance;

iii) Sectoral and spatial actions: a roadmap and implementation plan is supported for sectors at the nexus of land-use, water, and energy, as well as geographical hotspots, which are priority areas for the country’s 2050 outlook.

Support is primarily provided to counterpart agencies including the Department of Environment, Forestry, and Fisheries, National Treasury and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy.

Rwanda

This Deep Dive seeks to enhance the capacity of the government of Rwanda to advance financial innovation for accelerating climate action for both mitigation and adaptation. It helps identify, design and operationalize financial instruments and initiatives to leverage private sector climate investments into a broad range of sectors: transportation, water, waste, energy, forestry and disaster risk management and risk financing.

The project will support Rwanda’s Green Fund (FONERWA) and Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MINECOFIN) to develop the capacity to mobilize significant amount of additional finance through the development and piloting of new innovative instruments and institutional structures. The financial instruments and initiatives will be implemented by FONERWA, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, sectoral agencies, MINECOFIN, and Rwanda’s Development Bank. Activities support incubation of transformative flagship projects, complementing the revision of Rwanda’s , which the country submitted to UNFCCC.

Vietnam

The Deep Dive informs the design, budgeting, coordination and monitoring of policies and investments for the implementation of Vietnam's NDC by leveraging the Bank's sectoral engagements around four critical climate transitions:

i) low carbon energy;

ii) low carbon and resilient transport;

iii) climate-smart landscapes;

iv) and green and resilient urban development.

It complements these sectoral engagements with tools to support a whole-of-government approach, particularly through improvements to investment planning and budgetary processes, the application of fiscal levers, and strengthening overall coordination and accountability

processes. The Deep Dive provides support for key components of Vietnam’s Plan for Implementation of the Paris Agreement. The work also presents an opportunity to support an increase in climate-relevant ambition across a variety of sectors, with a key focus on well-informed mitigation and adaptation targets and pathways to achieve them. Activities under the Low Carbon Energy and Climate Smart Landscapes Transitions also have a specific focus on the development and strengthening of monitoring and evaluation systems.

The Program will engage government counterparts across ministries including the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport, among others.
