WORKSHOP: Raising ambition through sectoral action
Dear participant, welcome to the ELEVATE workshop on raising ambition through sectoral action!

Please use this form to document your thoughts during this workshop, and submit the result at the end of the session. This will help you during the various parts of the workshop, and allow us to learn from your input and use them in our future work.

You can choose yourself which sector(s) you would like look into. We cover the following sectors:

AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use)
Energy supply
Buildings
Industry
Transport
Waste
Economy wide

Please do not submit the form before you completed it! Submitting the form will make your answers disappear.

1. Individual: Think about sectoral measures and constraints in your country

Please inform us of your country and role first

Which country do you represent?

What is your role (policymaker, negotiator, etc)

Sectoral measures

What level of political attention do sectoral measures receive in your country? Which measures a high level of political attention and which ones a low level? Which ones receive a medium level of attention?

Please only answer for the items that you know, and leave other checkboxes empty.

Reduce manure emissions from livestock, e.g. with anaerobic digesters

Increase nitrogen use efficiency, e.g. from fertiliser production and use.

Reduce methane emissions from enteric fermentation, e.g. through selective breeding.

Increase natural forest afforestation and reforestation.

Halt natural forest deforestation.

Improve the energy efficiency of appliances, e.g. energy labelling and efficiency mandates.

Improve the final energy intensity of new residential and commercial buildings.

Moratorium on new installations of oil and gas boilers

Improve the efficiency of existing buildings, e.g. through increasing renovation rates.

Moratorium on new installations of unabated coal power plants

Increase of the share of renewables in total electricity generation per year

Recover coal mine methane emissions to reduce related emissions.

Reduce venting and flaring of methane and carbon dioxide.

Improve the energy efficiency of aviation.

Improve average fuel efficiency of new passenger cars.

Increase the share of non-fossil in new

vehicle sales.

Apply carbon capture and storage to reduce process-related emissions.

Improve final energy efficiency in industrial production, e.g. energy reduction mandates.

Reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from adipic/acid production.

Reduce methane emissions.

Implement carbon pricing.

Reduce fluorinated gas emissions.

AFOLU

ENERGY

BUILDINGS

INDUSTRY

TRANSPORT

WASTE

ECONOMY-WIDE

Are any other measures with substantial mitigation potential before 2035 missing from the list above?

Do you have any additional comments on the above-mentioned sectoral measures?

Constraints

Which constraints do you think hinder improving climate policies in your country?

Dependence on fossil fuels, especially coal, for electricity generation

Dependence on fossil fuels for economic development — for example, through reliance on fossil fuel exports

Lack of state capacity to adopt and implement climate policies — for example, due to high levels of corruption or absence of dedicated climate-related institutions

Lack of democratic forms of governance that enable inclusivity in policy-making processes, greater transparency and oversight

High prevalence of fossil fuel subsidies, that undermine existing climate policies and provide incentives for high-emitting activities

Limited social trust and confidence that public policies will be effective and aligned with broad societies’ interests

Low awareness of the impacts of and potential solutions to climate change

Limited access to financial and technical resources to implement measures

Limited prioritisation of climate change mitigation issues within policy making

Do you think the constraints have an equal effect on different sectors? Or is their effect different? Please explain.

Do you have any additional comments on the above-mentioned constraints?

2. Pairs: discuss your answers above and reflect on differences. If necessary, make changes to your answers.

3. Groups: reflect on the question below briefly. Afterwards, discuss key takeaways. One member of the group reports the key takeaways in the reporting template to present after lunch.

ELEVATE will develop a scenario that shows regional impact of the roll-out of the sectoral measures from countries with similar constraints... what would you like to learn from that?
