The French Global Environment Facility THE FGEF
FRENCH GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY C LIMATE CHANGE The French Global Environment Facility T FGEF was established in order to promote protection of the global environment through development projects.Through these projects, the FGEF addresses the major threats to our planet’s environmental equilibrium concerning: HE • climate change; • biodiversity; • international waters; • desertification and land degradation; • persistent organic pollutants (POPs); and stratospheric ozone layer. The FGEF is used: • to support practical undertakings in beneficiary countries; • to promote learning principles and test innovative or exemplary approaches; • on request from and under the responsibility of one of its five institutional members; • as a minority cofinancing mechanism; • as an additional mechanism within the French public aid system, under Official Development Assistance accounts. The French Global Environment Facility T he FGEF is a bilateral fund set up in 1994 by the French government following the Rio Summit. Its aim is to promote protection of the global environment in developing and transitional countries. Initially established for a period of four years, the FGEF has been extended twice, in 1998 and 2003. With funding from the State budget, the FGEF contributes to Official Development Assistance with resources amounting to 201 million euros during the 1994-2006 period. Its resources add to the French contribution to the Global Environment Fund (GEF), with which it shares the same areas of activity. Of 137 FGEF projects identified at the end of 2004, 26 also involve resources from the GEF. However, the FGEF acts independently from its multilateral counterpart. Used in accordance with its own principles of intervention, the FGEF is an instrument of French policy for cooperation and development. 2 The FGEF draws on the resources of its French institutional members: • The Ministries responsible for: The Economy, Finance and Industry (MINEFI); Foreign Affairs (MAE); Ecology and Sustainable Development (MEDD); Education, Higher Education and Research (MENESR); • The French Development Agency (AFD), which is also responsible for administrating the FGEF. 3 How the FGEF operates? The FGEF is run by three bodies: THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DECISION-MAKING The Steering Committee is made up of the five institutional members and chaired by the representative from the Ministry of the Economy (Treasury Directorate). The Committee meets several times a year to issue its decisions on: • overall FGEF policy, particularly as regards its geographical and thematic areas of intervention and the Secretariat’s budget ; • project identification dossiers, after receiving opinions from the Scientific and Technical Committee ; • evaluation reports and release of funds by the Secretariat. The Steering Committee appoints the members of the Scientific and Technical Committee. THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL COMMITTEE IS THE FGEF’S CONSULTATIVE BODY This committee is made up of ten key figures recognised for their scientific, technical and economic qualifications in the fields covered by the FGEF. • It is involved in the project examination process, providing recommendations during the identification phase and observations at the commitment stage; • It leads and carries out studies on scientific, technical and socio-economic aspects of the global environment; • It takes part, along with its member institutions and secretariat, in initiatives to inform French and international partners and raise their awareness of the issues at stake regarding the global environment. 4 THE FGEF SECRETARIAT The FGEF Secretariat is a streamlined body of nine permanent staff. It is responsible for: • Examining and following up projects financed by the FGEF, in liaison with its institutional members; • Preparing and implementing the Steering Committee’s decisions; • Sectoral relationships with institutional, scientific, economic and NGO partners; • Follow-up of the GEF, the Multilateral Fund under the Montreal Protocol and sectoral relationships with bilateral and multilateral funding agencies. Working as a separate body within the French Development Agency (AFD), the Secretariat uses the AFD’s accounting and financial services as well as the network of AFD local agencies. 5 FGEF projects ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Eligible projects must: • Have a significant impact on the global environment; • Contribute to the economic and social development of beneficiary countries and populations; • Innovate; • Produce effects that are demonstrable and reproducible; • Guarantee social, institutional and economic effects that endure beyond the project’s lifetime; • Be implemented by an effective and competent organisation; • Receive a majority share of funding from other agencies (including local agencies), with the FGEF providing complementary funding; • Demonstrate consistency with the priorities of French policy for cooperation and development. The following are not eligible: • Programmes that concern only research and capacity building and are not linked to a development project; • Recurrent activities and running costs of institutions or organisations. Countries eligible for the FGEF are all developing countries and countries with transitional economies which are also eligible for Official Development Assistance as defined by the OECD. However, the priority areas for FGEF funding are the countries included in the “Priority Solidarity Zone”. Half of its resources are used to the benefit of African countries. THE PROJECT CYCLE Identification Ex-ante evaluation • A project identification sheet is drawn up by one or more of the French institutional members, in liaison with the potential beneficiary; • The project’s eligibility is examined by the FGEF Secretariat; • The Scientific and Technical Committee supplies its expert opinion; • The Steering Committee authorises ex-ante project evaluation to proceed. 6 • Detailed definition of the technical, economic and institutional conditions required for project implementation and of focal points for funding on the basis of feasibility. Implementation Ex-post evaluation • The project is given approval by the Steering Committee; • Signature of the funding agreement with the beneficiary(ies); • The Secretariat is authorised to commit the corresponding funds. • Evaluation of impacts and results after completion of the project; • Implementation of the project by the beneficiary of the FGEF subsidy; Commitment • Project monitoring and supervision by the French institution, with support from the Secretariat; • Administration of funds by the AFD. 7 • Communication to third parties. FGEF objectives and focal areas CLIMATE CHANGE G LOBAL WARMING is the result of an intensifying greenhouse effect, which in turn is triggered by increasing concentrations of certain gases in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide. The FGEF encourages projects that reduce the consumption of fossil or organic carbon through: • renewable energy and substitution by energy sources producing low greenhouse gas emissions; • energy recovery from biomass; • improved energy efficiency in energy-consuming sectors; • carbon sequestration in forests and soils. BIODIVERSITY B IODIVERSITY is defined as our planet’s entire pool of genes, species and ecosystems. It is now under serious threat (species losses, deforestation, ecosystem pollution…). In order to preserve biodiversity, the FGEF’s projects seek to bring the main guidelines of the Convention on Biological Diversity into practice.These projects concern: • conservation of wildlands and species; • traditional uses of natural resources by local populations; • sustainable use of natural resources to support economic and social development. Projects have to take local communities into consideration, involving them in the protection of their environment and ensuring that they draw the benefits that result. 8 INTERNATIONAL WATERS I NTERNATIONAL WATERS are marine or inland waters (surface and ground waters), to which several nations may have access and which are often shared and used as ressources by several States.These waters are under particular threat from overexploitation of their resources as well as from pollution and soil erosion. The aim of the FGEF is to contribute to better management of international waters. It therefore gives particular consideration to projects that: • Emphasise collaboration between States; • Strengthen measurement networks and monitoring systems; • Reduce pollution at source. DESERTIFICATION D ESERTIFICATION is the outcome of climatic variations and human activities that damage ecosystems in arid zones. The phenomenon simultaneously affects biodiversity and the social and economic living conditions of human populations. The FGEF’s actions largely focus on the countries of the Sahara and the Sahel. Funds are provided as a priority to local projects that aim to strengthen the resilience of ecosystems or to reverse the process of desertification where this is still possible. Agro-ecological projects in particular are given a high priority. PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPS) T (POPS) are a group of twelve particularly hazardous substances (pesticides, industrial chemicals and chemical by-products) with a very long lifetime and which migrate into soils and water, sometimes over very long distances. They accumulate in the food chain and are easily ingested by life forms, causing immune problems and genetic malformations. HE PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS In view of the serious impacts of POPs on the environment and health, the FGEF began supporting programmes that aim to eliminate these pollutants in 2004. 9 COMBINED-IMPACT PROJECTS T hese are projects having a simultaneous impact on more than one area of intervention, such as: • BIODIVERSITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE: the FGEF supports projects for sustainable forest management, especially in the tropics, to help preserve their biodiversity and the permanence of forest resources. It finances projects that contribute significantly to increased carbon sequestration or to reduced carbon releases; • BIODIVERSITY AND INTERNATIONAL WATERS: the FGEF supports projects for marine resource management. OZONE LAYER T he FGEF Secretariat is responsible for implementing projects presented by France to the Multilateral Fund established under the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the OZONE LAYER. These projects are targeted to the elimination of ozone-depleting substances (ODS). This objective is sought through four different approaches: • Support to the development of country programmes: inventories of current ODS consumption in different sectors: refrigeration, foams, solvents, methyl bromide, halons and mobile air conditioning systems; • Assistance to the identification of investment projects: identification of relevant enterprises and evaluation of corresponding technical and financial requirements; • Implementation of investment projects: conversion of industrial equipment or production processes; • Technical assistance, training, public awareness raising and institutional capacity building. 10 KEY PROJECT FIGURES The FGEF in figures: By the end of 2004, 137 identified projects had been or were being examined, representing potential FFEM commitments of about 152 million euros, excluding “ozone projects”.1 1) 82 projects concern preservation of the stratospheric ozone layer and receive financing of 10.7 million euros from the Multilateral Facility under the Montreal Protocol.

Our planet is becoming warmer as a result of human activities. These activities release gases which intensify the naturally occurring greenhouse effect that retains the sun’s heat on the Earth’s surface. Some of these gases, known as “GREENHOUSE GASES” or GHGs, accumulate in the atmosphere in quantities that are too great to be absorbed naturally by the Earth’s oceans and biosphere. An overall rise of about 0.6°C in the Earth’s surface temperature has been observed over the last hundred years or so. This increase is likely to reach 2 to 6°C during the 21st century (IPCC1, 1996). The Earth’s warming could have major consequences: rising sea levels, shrinking snow cover, increasingly violent shifts in weather patterns, changes in rainfall and river flow patterns, more violent storms and cyclones, serious flooding and droughts. All these changes will affect landscapes, ecosystems and water resources, and are therefore liable to cause long-term changes in the economic activities and organisation of human societies. The main GHGs are water vapour (H20), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O3) and other synthetic gases such as halogenated hydrocarbons (CFCs, HFCs and PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). Concentrations of these gases in the atmosphere are low, but they have a high warming potential and concentrations are increasing rapidly2. Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have risen from 280 to 360 ppmv3 in the last hundred years, having oscillated from around 170 to no more than 280 ppmv during the previous 400,000 years (IPCC, 1996). GHG emissions tend to increase rapidly with economic development and population growth. The world’s population has more than doubled in the last hundred years (3 billion people) and is set to increase by a further 50 % by 20504, mainly in the developing and transitional countries where 85 % of the world’s population will be living by that time. World GHG emissions by sector in 2000 GHG emissions included 11.4 billion tonnes (Gt) of carbon equivalent in 2000.These emissions are released by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) (60 %); by the breakdown of organic matter (20 %) and by industrial processes and agricultural techniques (16 %). According to the World Resources Institute (WRI), emissions worldwide increased by 18.9 % in one decade, from 1990 to 2000. 1) IPCC : Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 2) The warming potential of GHGs is the contribution of these gases to the greenhouse effect. It is evaluated on the basis of CO2 warming potential (1): CH4 (21), N2O (310), PFC (6 500 to 8700), HFC (140 à 11 700) and SF6 (23 900). 3) 1 ppmv (part per million in volume) = 0,0001 %. 4) Source : United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), 2004. 12 International Industrial Processes 3,3 % Bunkers 1,8 % Agriculture 13,5 % OTHER SECTORS 18,6 % - 2,1 Gt Fugitive Emissions 3,9 % Other Fuel Combustion 11,3 % Land-Use Change and Forestry 18,3 % ORGANIC MATTER 21,9 % - 2,5 Gt Waste 3,6 % ENERGY 59,5 % - 6,8 Gt Electricity and Heat 22,3 % Transportation 11,6 % Manufacturing and Construction 10,4 % Source : Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT) Version 2.0.

The main objective of the Climate Change Convention is to “stabilise CO2 and other greenhouse gases at levels that would prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system”. The Kyoto Protocol, signed in 1997 entered into force on the 16th of February 2005, together with the supplementary Marrakech Agreements signed in 2001. The main sectors in which measures are needed to control climate change are shown in the diagram below.These measures will focus on three main “thematic” areas: • Promoting renewable energy sources and low-carbon energy uses; • Rational energy use; • Carbon capture and sequestration. - Target sectors for measures to control climate change 1• LIMITING AND REDUCING EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES: CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6, PFC, HFC Promoting renewable energy souces and improving energy efficiency Energy recovery from biomass Biogas (from waste) Biofuels Fuelwood Improving constructions Heat insulation: efficient materials and bioclimatic design Thermal control systems Preserving natural carbon sinks Primary forests Controlling deforestation Organising urban and interurban journeys Passengers/freight Industry Biological captation Forest plantations Improving engines Energy-efficient motors and low-emission fuels Distribution of recyclables, low energy-intensity finished products Agriculture Developing new carbon sinks Promoting integrated public transport Trains, metro, buses IIntegrating new Information and Communication Technologies (NICTs) Developing efficient energy production systems Natural gas and liquid petroleum gas (LPG)) Clean coal, mmmine gas Combined cycles Tri/cogeneration Interconnection CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION Planing urban development Local Urbanisation Plans (PLU) Managing and recycling organic waste Distribution of energy-efficient household appliances Low-energy lamps and refrigerators Transports Promoting renewable energy sources Hydraulic Wind power Geothermal Solar Demand-side Buildings Supply-side 2 • CARBON Improving productivity in manufacturing processes Research into efficient innovations with low energy intensity and low GHG emissions Soils Agro-ecology Agro-forestry Action against desertification Promoting recyclable low energy-intensity raw materials Promoting less energy-intensive ans more efficient agriculture (water, electricity, processing and transport) Disseminating technical advances Optimising digestion in ruminants (livestock production) Rational use of inputs (plant production) Geological sequestration Injecting CO2 into underground reservoirs Oceans Specialised funds for energy efficiency and renewable energies, carbon funds, flexible mechanisms. 14 The FGEF’s strategy is implemented under the overall framework of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol. The FGEF thus encourages: 1. Projects that are exemplary, innovative and reproducible The FGEF acts to: • Assess the issues; • Rank priorities; • Carry out pilot projects on a significant scale; • Help define supporting measures; • Measure impacts; • Disseminate experience. 2. Integration of the Kyoto Protocol’s “flexible mechanisms” The FGEF supports “flagship” projects that implement the “flexible mechanisms” provided for under the Kyoto Protocol.These innovative financial mechanisms, which are currently in the experimental stage, are designed to facilitate transfers of “clean” technologies to developing and transitional countries and to strengthen their capacities for sustainable development. 3. Synergies between actions to control climate change and other environmental measures The FGEF seeks to strengthen synergies with other environmental issues such as reducing atmospheric pollution, protecting biodiversity and preserving the ozone layer, in order to multiply the effects of its environmental protection actions at local and global level. 15 THE FGEF’S PORTFOLIO OF CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTS By the end of 2004, the FGEF’s “climate change” portfolio contained 30 projects in over 20 countries: 10 in Africa, 7 in the Mediterranean Basin, 4 in Eastern Europe, 3 in Latin America and 6 in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting together for 38.6 million euros in FGEF aid. A further 14 million euros are allocated to 11 combined projects.

In the next few years, the FGEF will be seeking to: • Disseminate project results among local organisations with capacities for taking over the activities concerned; • Integrate “flexible mechanisms” allowing contributions from the private sector; • Promote further research into innovative solutions and facilitate their introduction in the countries concerned. Finally, unlike the industrialised countries, which owe their development to the availability of cheap and abundant fossil fuels, developing and transitional countries have to build their future by drawing on models of sustainable development that are less reliant on fossil energy sources, require less energy input and gradually shift to renewable energy sources. The FGEF supports efforts to establish models of sustainable development that are capable of meeting the growing needs of populations for infrastructure and access to essential services, while also preserving our environment and our planet. It is in this context of transition that the FGEF, acting at the interface between research and standard market practice, is exploring new avenues while stimulating and accompanying the initial stages of innovation and change. 17 Location of the FFEM clim GROENLAND (DANEMARK) ISLANDE ALASKA (ETATS-UNIS) SUE NORVEGE MEDITERRANEAN CANADA DAN.

MOROCCO – DECENTRALIZED RURAL ELECTRIFICATION AND SOLAR PUMPS FGEF funding : 1,6 M€ - Total cost : 19,4 M€ Partners : TOTAL Energy Morocco/TEMASOL, Moroccan National Electricity Board (ONE), EDF Energie, German Overseas Cooperation Agency, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KFW), French Development Agency (AFD) This project aims to develop domestic solar energy systems on a large scale in the provinces of Khemisset, Khenifra, Khouribga and Settat (16,000 photovoltaic installations and around ten community solar pumps).The management of installation and maintenance work as well as credit schemes and reimbursement are delegated on a long-term basis (10 years) to a private operator. BRAZIL - SOLAR-POWERED RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN BAHIA STATE FGEF funding : 0,4 M€ - Total cost : 1,5 M€ Partners : Government of Salvador (Bahia State), EDF Energie, Directorate-General for the Treasury and Economic Policy (DGPTE, ex-DREE) The FGEF has been supporting feasibility studies and research into institutional arrangements for a large-scale rural electrification project in the State of Bahia (15,000 photovoltaic kits). BURKINA FASO AND MAURITANIA - DECENTRALISED SOLAR-POWERED RURAL ELECTRIFICATION Total cost : 1,3 M€ (Burkina Faso) and 4,3 M€ (Mauritania) FGEF funding : 0,2 M€ (Burkina Faso) and 0,8 M€ (Mauritania) Partners : Burkina Faso : Ministry of Agriculture, AFD ; Mauritania : Association of village cooperatives (NASSIM), Agency for the Development of Rural Electrification (ADER), Decentralised Electrification Unit (CELED) This project is developing rural electrification in several villages by installing 700 photovoltaic kits in Burkina Faso and 2000 in Mauritania, together with locally based maintenance services. 20 • ENERGY RECOVERY FROM BIOMASS • Agriculture is an essential economic activity in the developing and transitional countries. Using crop residues to provide energy is a solution that needs to be promoted. The FGEF is seeking to develop such biomass uses to suit locally adapted production systems. MAURITIUS - DEVELOPMENT OF A BAGASSE-FIRED POWER PLANT AT THE BELLE-VUE SUGAR MILL FGEF funding : 0,5 M€ - Total cost : 100,9 M€ Partners : Compagnie Thermique de Belle Vue (CTBV), Harel Group (Belle Vue sugar mill), SIDEC This project is working on energy recovery from bagasse, an underused by-product from the local sugar cane industry, to meet the energy needs of the sugar mill and feed power into the national grid. LITHUANIA - STRUCTURING A REGIONAL FUELWOOD INDUSTRY FGEF funding : 1,0 M€ - Total cost : 10,8 M€ Partners : Lithuanian Ministry of the Environment, LITESKO, partners from the Lithuanian private sector (MEDJIVA, SKYDRINE), French Agency for Environmental and Energy Management (ADEME), French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development (MEDD) The aim of this project is to support a fuelwood industry in the south of Lithuania (Vilnius – Vilkasiskis – Marijampole), which will be supplying fuel to municipal heating plants from logging and timber processing wastes. MAURITANIA - DEVELOPMENT OF CHARCOAL PRODUCTION FROM CROP RESIDUES FGEF funding : 0,6 M€ - Total cost : 1,9 M€ Partners : Société de Développement de la Production Agricole (SDPA), Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM), ADEME, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) The aim of this project is to develop three semi-industrial plants producing charcoal from rice husks in the rice-growing zone around Rosso, in southern Mauritania, in order to supply domestic fuel to the local market and electricity for dehusking installations. 21 • DEVELOPING EFFICIENT ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS • In many countries, the energy efficiency of production systems is unsatisfactory, either because of delayed investment or because of a lack of energy-saving incentives.The FGEF is supporting the development of innovative and more efficient energy production systems (e.g. combined cycles and cogeneration). MOROCCO - AN ENERGY-EFFICIENCY PROGRAMME FOR HAMMAMS IN THE CITY OF CASABLANCA FGEF funding : 1,6 M€ - Total cost : 4,1 M€ Partners : Moroccan Ministry of Energy and Mining, Centre for Renewable Energy Development (CDER), Association of Owner-Managers of Hammams in Casablanca (APEHC), AFD The aim of this project is to improve energy efficiency in about a hundred hammams (public baths) and bakeries using wood-fired boilers in the city of Casablanca and several secondary towns. Improvements are obtained through a large-scale programme to modernise boilers. A reasonable amount of investment is yielding 50 % reductions in fuelwood consumption in hammams. • SPECIALISED INVESTMENT FUNDS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS • Financing project investments is still the weakest point in the development of energy efficiency policies. In recent years, the major innovation concerning investment support in these sectors has been the creation of specialised, mixed (public and private) investment funds that can provide direct support to large-scale projects or can be used to support energy service companies undertaking their own high-performance projects (on cogeneration, rational energy use, renewable energy development and so on). EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE - A FUND TO SUPPORT ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND REDUCTIONS IN CARBON EMISSIONS - DEXIA-FONDELEC FGEF funding : 2 M€ - Total cost : 100 M€ Partners : FondElec Management Corporation, Dexia, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) The FGEG is supporting the launch of a special fund for the development of third-party investment in private companies specialising in high energy-efficiency technologies (cogeneration) and renewable energy sources.These hi-tech companies are offering advanced energy services to industries and local authorities in Eastern and Central Europe (including Poland, Hungary, Romania, Croatia and Bulgaria). RUSSIA AND EASTERN EUROPE - CAPACITY BUILDING AND SUPPORT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MIXED PUBLIC-PRIVATE FUND TO PROMOTE ENERGY EFFICENCY FGEF funding : 2 M€ - Total cost : 6 M€ Partners : United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), United Nations Foundation (FNU), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Global Environment Fund (GEF) and Member States, MAE This project is part of the UNECE’s “Energy Efficiency 21” Programme. Its aim is to promote energy efficiency in Russia and in several Eastern European countries (including Ukraine and Bielorussia) by raising awareness among all interested parties and decision-makers,setting up a network of experts,strengthening energy efficiency measures and developing renewables. Finally, it is supporting the creation of a mixed 300 M€ public-private investment fund to trigger the establishment of a market in energy efficiency and renewables in the region. 22 Rational energy use • IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN RESIDENTIAL SECTORS • In the developing and transitional countries, energy efficiency in residential and servicesector buildings is not always adequately optimised (in terms of the choice of materials, environmental quality, efficiency of equipment, construction costs, etc.).The FGEF is looking to improve energy efficiency in buildings in these sectors by seeking innovative solutions that are well suited to the local context (regulations, standardisation of equipment, energy pricing incentives, quality labels for buildings, new construction techniques, etc.). CHINA - AN ENERGY-EFFICIENCY PROGRAMME FOR LOW-COST HOUSING PROJECTS - PHASE 1 FGEF funding : 3,3 M€ - Total cost: 96 M€ Partners : Provinces of Heilongjiang & Liaoning and city of Beijing, ADEME, MEDD The programme for phase 1 aims to achieve a 50 % reduction in GHG emissions in the low-cost housing sector in the provinces of Heilongjiang and Liaoning, in northern China, and in the city of Beijing. It focuses on largescale pilot construction programmes (600 000 m2 of housing).. CHINA - AN ENERGY-EFFICIENCY PROGRAMME FOR LOW-COST HOUSING PROJECTS - PHASE 2 FGEF funding : 2,7 M€ - Total cost : 297 M€ Partners : Province of Heilongjiang, cities of Beijing and Shanghai, Ministry of Construction, ADEME, Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB), World Bank, GEF, MEDD In the Province of Heilongjiang, Phase 2 aims to integrate energy efficiency improvements in programmes to rehabilitate low-cost housing and develop rural housing. In the cities of Beijing and Shanghai, the introduction of a “High Environmental Quality” approach in housing programmes aims to improve on the legislation in force by controlling additional costs.

The project is currently in the discussion phase. 26 27 Integrating the Kyoto Protocol’s “flexible mechanisms” • THE “FLEXIBLE MECHANISMS • To help the Annex 1 countries achieve their targets for GHG emission reductions, the Kyoto Protocol sets out three mechanisms, known as “flexible mechanisms”, which are additional to the internal efforts required from each country.These mechanisms may be used to reduce the costs of emission reductions across broad geographical sectors while transferring efficient technologies to the countries of the South: 1. “INTERNATIONAL EMISSIONS TRADING IN NATIONAL ASSIGNED AMOUNTS (IET)”: Annex 1 countries may trade their emission quotas directly ; 2. “JOINT IMPLEMENTATION” (JI) : Annex 1 countries may also trade in emission quotas through cross investments in projects implemented by their own companies in another Annex 1 country, when these projects reduce GHG emissions ; 3. “CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM” (CDM): Annex 1 countries may register accounts of GHG emission reductions which they achieve through investment projects in countries not included in Annex 1. By using “clean” technologies, these projects help countries of the South in their efforts to develop sustainably. S ince the Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997, the FGEF has been aiding gradual implementation of these mechanisms by: 1. supporting “AIJ” projects” (Actions Implemented Jointly under the pilot phase) ; 2. participating in the production of French-language guides to the CDM and JI; 3. supporting capacity building, particularly in Africa ; 4. supporting the first exemplary CDM projects. FGEF participation in AIJ pilot phase projects, production of the guides and support to CDM projects are conducted under a specific programme called the FAAEC or “Support Facility for Actions Implemented Jointly”, which has been allocated a budget of 2 million euros. The programme is managed by the FGEF and carried out under the aegis of an interministerial steering committee (MINEFI, MEDD, MAE, AFD and ADEME) chaired by the French Interministerial Task Force for Climate Change (MIES). “AEC PILOT PHASE PROJECTS” Partners : MIES, DGTPE (ex-DREE), MAE, MEDD, ADEME The FGEF helped French companies to set up 17 “AIJ pilot phase projects” from 1997 to 2000.These CDM - type projects were implemented before the Kyoto Protocol came into effect. Seven French projects have been registered by the UNFCCC (out of 160 projects worldwide). 28 DEVELOPER REGION TOTAL COST IN MILLION EUROS Vivendi-Dalkia Eastern Europe 6.0 Restructuring of a cement works (Czech Rep.)
