| Description | The Department of Climate Change in National Development and Reform Commission (CC-NDRC) of the PRC is the apex government agency in the PRC to plan and manage climate change related activities. It recognizes the need to have a clear pathway to achieve the 2020 low-carbon goal to address climate change and promote sustainable development. The proposed TA will provide critical strategic analysis that is needed in achieving this goal. It will fill in the crucial gaps of analytical and strategic work of (i) comprehensively examining the progress so far towards the 2020 low-carbon goal, (ii) appropriateness of policies, actions and programs in achieving the goal; and (iii) provide a cost competitive but effective plan and implementation strategies to overcome barriers in achieving the goal. The study outputs may directly contribute to the government's policy making and carbon emission control programs during the 13th plan and beyond. The significance of the PRC's 2020 low-carbon goal in the global climate change management cannot be emphasized enough. The TA may provide critical knowledge work that can be utilized in similar studies across other major emerging economies of the region. | ||||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The TA has a close link and direct relevance with the country partnership strategy (2011 -2015) priority of environmental sustainability of the PRC''s economic development. The proposed policy and advisory technical assistance to provide mechanisms/guidelines to reduce carbon emissions is essential for addressing national, regional and global climate change and environmental challenges. | ||||||
| Impact | The PRC''s 2020 low-carbon goal firmed up and achieved on time | ||||||
