Developing GCF pipeline of projects from locally-driven climate actions

The proposal seeks USD 349,999 over 24 months to support Thailand's local governments in mainstreaming climate actions into city development plans. The project focuses on three components: engaging 15 cities to enhance knowledge of the Paris Agreement and NDC, assisting 7 selected cities in creating GHG mitigation technology and investment plans, and supporting 1 city in developing a quality draft funding proposal for the GCF. The initiative aims to overcome barriers such as insufficient technical knowledge, lack of bankable project pipelines, and difficulties in accessing international climate funds.

• The project identifies three primary barriers preventing Thai local governments from implementing climate actions: a lack of capacity to mainstream climate actions into city development pathways, limited technical assistance to secure domestic funding, and insufficient skills to develop bankable proposals for international funds like the GCF.
• The proposal outlines a tiered target for beneficiary local governments: 15 cities will receive general capacity building on climate policies and the Paris Agreement, 7 cities will develop GHG Mitigation Technology and Investment Plans, and 1 city will be supported in drafting a GCF project proposal.
• The project will utilize Thailand's existing City Carbon Footprint (CCF) and GHG reduction potential database, previously developed under the World Bank’s Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR) project, to build Low-carbon-city (LCC) plans.
• The total requested funding is USD 349,999, with a budget allocation including USD 293,087 for outcome budgets, USD 20,700 for Project Management Costs (PMC), and a Delivery Partner Fee of USD 27,419.27.
• The implementation is led by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) as the delivery partner, with the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP) serving as the National Designated Authority (NDA).
• The project identifies several potential cities for intervention based on GHG emissions, including Nonthaburi (2017 emission: 2.286 MtCO2eq), Phuket (0.807 MtCO2eq), and Chiangmai (0.712 MtCO2eq).
