2010 Climate Investment Funds Partnership Forum Summary

Event Overview

• Date: March 18–19, 2010
• Location: Asian Development Bank (ADB) Headquarters, Manila, Philippines
• Hosted by: ADB in cooperation with other Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs)
• Objective: To share lessons learned from the CIF design process and early implementation, and to extract practical insights to inform future CIF activities.
• Participants: Approximately 400 attendees, including representatives from country governments, MDBs, the United Nations (UN), civil society organizations (CSOs), indigenous peoples, the private sector, and scientific and technical experts.

Core Content and Key Themes

1. CIF as a Development Mechanism

• The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) are positioned as a unique, multi-stakeholder partnership mechanism aimed at supporting low carbon and climate-resilient development.
• The CIF includes two main components: the Clean Technology Fund (CTF) and the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF), each with distinct but complementary objectives.

2. CIF Programs and Their Objectives

• Clean Technology Fund (CTF): Focuses on demonstrating and deploying low-carbon technologies, attracting private investment, and creating an enabling environment for climate action.
• Strategic Climate Fund (SCF): Comprises three programs:
  • Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR): Aims to integrate climate resilience into national development plans.
  • Forest Investment Program (FIP): Targets reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) and includes a special grant mechanism for indigenous peoples and local communities.
  • Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program in Low Income Countries (SREP): Seeks to increase renewable energy access and promote low-carbon development in low-income countries.

3. Governance and Inclusiveness

• CIF governance is based on balanced representation of both developed and developing countries.
• Consensus-based decision-making is emphasized, with a self-selection process for observer roles.
• The need for greater inclusion of civil society, indigenous peoples, and the private sector in CIF processes was highlighted, with calls for clearer definitions of stakeholder roles, particularly for "active observers."

4. Lessons and Recommendations

• The CIF should focus on building climate resilience and ensuring equitable distribution of funds, especially to low-income countries.
• There is a need for greater transparency, inclusiveness, and coherence in CIF operations and with other climate finance mechanisms.
• Continuous learning and knowledge-sharing were identified as critical for the CIF to improve and scale up its impact.
• The CIF process should incorporate gender dimensions and ensure that local communities are actively involved in decision-making and project implementation.

5. Climate Finance and Global Architecture

• The CIF is seen as a key component of the global climate finance architecture, but it is only one piece of the puzzle.
• There is a call for more ambitious and realistic financial pledges from developed countries, especially under the Copenhagen Accord.
• The CIF should contribute to the development of a fully operational global climate finance system, including adaptation and mitigation efforts, capacity building, and technology transfer.

Main Sessions and Outcomes

Opening Plenary

• Moderator: Katherine Sierra, World Bank Vice President for Sustainable Development
• Speakers:
  • Haruhiko Kuroda (ADB President): Emphasized the importance of CIF in restructuring financial flows for sustainable development and the need for inclusive, balanced partnerships.
  • Heherson Alvarez (Philippines): Highlighted the Philippines' role as a CIF recipient and the need for transformational partnerships.
  • Preety Bandari (UNFCCC): Stressed the importance of coherence among climate finance mechanisms and the need for a fully operational architecture to support climate action.
• Key Outcomes:
  • CIF is a critical tool for low-carbon development and climate resilience.
  • The CIF needs to ensure equitable access to funds and inclusive participation of all stakeholders.
  • The CIF's role in promoting adaptation, mitigation, and technology transfer was acknowledged.

Voices of Stakeholders: Looking Ahead for Lessons Learned

• Moderator: Ann Quon, ADB
• Key Themes:
  • The CIF should focus on both mitigation and adaptation, with more emphasis on adaptation.
  • There is a need for stronger engagement with local communities and civil society.
  • The CIF should ensure that its projects are grounded in local realities and promote behavioral change.
  • The CIF needs to address knowledge gaps and encourage more dialogue among stakeholders.

CIF Program Sessions

• Clean Technology Fund (CTF): 13 investment plans were approved, with 9 countries and 2 regions moving forward with the PPCR.
• Forest Investment Program (FIP): Five pilot countries were endorsed, and a special grant mechanism for indigenous peoples and local communities was approved.
• Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP): Progress was made on operationalizing the program, with financial and operational guidelines in development.

Symposium on Climate Science and Technology

• Organized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
• Focused on energy technology roadmaps and the carbon benefits of sustainable land management.

Closing Plenary

• Summarized key outcomes from the Voices of Stakeholders Dialogue and CIF Program Sessions.
• Outcomes were to be reviewed by CIF governing bodies to inform future actions.

Key Recommendations and Future Steps

• Enhance stakeholder engagement, particularly with civil society, indigenous peoples, and the private sector.
• Ensure transparency and inclusiveness in CIF operations and decision-making.
• Focus on adaptation and climate resilience, especially for vulnerable countries.
• Promote knowledge-sharing and learning across CIF countries.
• Develop a more ambitious and equitable climate finance architecture that includes all countries and addresses climate justice concerns.
