3. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Policies, Strategy, and Frameworks Analyze transport infrastructure, energy, urban, and land use development plans in developing member countries (DMCs) with respect to the role of the carbon market to mobilize additional financing. Advise governments and ADB operations teams on policies and strategies that can achieve co-benefits, including greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, better air quality, improved energy efficiency and enhanced energy security. Advise governments and ADB operations teams on policies and strategies to mainstream climate change mitigation and adaptation in development planning. Advise governments and ADB operations teams on strategies and measures to anticipate and minimize future impacts from adverse climate change conditions on infrastructure and other investments. Develop proposals on financial mechanisms for the transport sector that address climate change and assist with the Kyoto Protocol agenda and any such post-Kyoto arrangements on climate change as it relates to the transport sector. Ensure proper coordination among regional departments and country offices for the exchange of information and experiences, and continuous improvement of climate change policy, planning and implementation practices. Contribute to the expansion of ADB’s operations in sustainable transport programs and other climate change mitigation and adaptation projects in the Asia Pacific region by mobilizing additional resources from the carbon market and special climate change funds. Operational Advice and Support Participate in country teams and provide sector inputs for Country Partnership Strategies (CPSs). Review loans and TA portfolio of transport and other potential GHG reduction projects in selected DMCs to identify potential CDM projects and “climate proofing” needs/opportunities. Recommend specific strategies for mainstreaming carbon benefits through CDM or any such post-2012 arrangements for transport into the project design and development processes of DMCs and operational departments of ADB. Provide technical backstop to ADB missions on CDM projects in general and GHG mitigation projects in sectors including transport. Advise on eligibility criteria established by the Kyoto Protocol and any such post-Kyoto arrangements, and other relevant regulations (e.g., baseline and additionality, new methodology, project design document, validation and registration, monitoring and verification, certification and issuance of certified emissions credits.) Review investments on infrastructure and other sectors that may be at risk from adverse impacts of climate change, for example hydropower projects that may be affected by increased glacier melt, or reduced hydrology, and roads and ports in areas affected by sea level rise, storms and greater precipitation. Project Management Undertake regional technical assistance (RETA) projects in the transport sector on climate change issues in the carbon market, and support RETAs on climate change adaptation. Ensure key technical, economic, financial and cross-cutting issues are incorporated into TAs. Promotion of Regional Cooperation Develop regional strategies and initiate regional projects in consultation with national and regional organizations and international financial agencies including an intra-regional exchange of experiences, best practices and lessons. Generate support and mobilize additional funding from non-DMC member countries for development of sustainable transport and other low-carbon practices in DMCs as well as investments that improve the resilience of DMCs to adverse impacts. Knowledge Sharing Identify specific areas of capacity building assistance required for mainstreaming climate change mitigation and adaptation in the project design. Serve as the focal point for coordination with other divisions/departments concerning sustainable transport programs. Coordinate with other divisions/departments concerning other climate change initiatives. Support senior management and represent ADB in conferences/workshops on climate change-related projects and policies. Assist energy and transport sector specialists in climate change mitigation and adaptation issues, particularly in the area of carbon markets and access to special climate change funds. Staff Supervision Provide leadership and support to reporting staff. Supervise the performance of reporting staff, providing clear direction and regular monitoring and feedback on performance. Ensure the on-going learning and development of reporting staff.
