The report is issued by the Global Environment Coordination Division, with contributions from staff in the World Bank Group who work on global environmental issues, such as Bank operations groups, . Task Managers for Bank global environment projects, and the Interna- l tional Finance Corporation. THEGLOBALENVIRONMENT COORDINATIONDIVISION . (ENVGC) is a unit of environmental and opera- tions specialists in the . Environment Department : who oversee the World Bank's work as an imple- . menting agency for the GEF : and Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund (MFMP). 1 The GEF has emerged as a catalyst to help countries . integrate global environ- : mental concerns into their national development goals. providing grants and concessional funds to developing countries for projects which protect the global environment, the GEF enables governments to address global environment issues they would otherwise be unable or unwilling to undertake. In doing so, the GEF demonstrates a new approach to global cooperation. TheWorld Bank is a GEF implementing agency alorngwith the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The INC delegates were unable to reach agreement on a number of importantsubjects, includinga mandate for a protocol to place bindinglimitson industrial nations' greenhouse gas emissions,criteria forjoint implementation,and certain of the rules of procedurefor the COP. On a positive note, the delegates confirmed the GEF as the Convention's interim financial mechanism.

THEFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE (FCCC) requires its Annex I signatoriesto have prepared nationalcommunicationsby September 1994.These communicationsindicate plans and strategiescountrieshave embarked on to limit their greenhousegas emissions. To date, threeWorld Bank clientcountries,Hungmy, Poland and the Czech Republic,have presented their National Communicationsto the FCCC Interim Secretariat.Thiscommitment and its operationabation within the national com- munication may pose new questionsfor the Bank's overall assistance strategiesto these countries. For this reason,the Bank has commissioned CICERO, a Norwegian environ- mental consultant,to analyzethe nationalcommunicationsand their implications for Bank assistanceto the sectorsconcerned,and evaluatethe consistencyof current and futureWorld Bank assistance strategiesagainstthesefindings.

From Seville, Bank staff travelled to Morocco and Tunisia, where they reviewed solar thermal- electric proposals. The Moroccan authorities requested that the Bank undertake, in collaboration with the Centre de Dkveloppement des Energies Renouvelables and the electric utility (ONE), a global renewable energy strategy and action plan. The plan would lay the foundation for further actions in project identification and preparation. As proof of the local awareness and interest in renewable energy development, ONE has issued a request for proposals for a 30-50 MW wind farm at an identified site. Similarly,in Tunisia, the highest priority item presented presented by the Tunisian planners was a request for Bank assistance to prepare a global renewable energy strategy and plan of action. As in Morocco, projects in the gestation phase include a 10MW private sector wind farm and a solar thermal trough power plant. 12 JANUARY-FEBRUARY1995 Facingtde Global P O R T F O L I O R E V I E W + C L I M A T E C H A N G E GHGMitigation Country Bn'ej? u K R A I N E At 2.15 kg per US dollar, Ukraine has the highest levelof carbon emissionsper unit of GDP in the Former SovietUnion (FSU).

The IFC recently received bilateral government and IFC funds to undertake a study to assess the feasibility of an investment fund for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in developing countries. Such a fund would consider investments in wind, solar, geothermal, small hydropower, and biomass projects, for example. It would also consider projects that use energy more efficientlyor that conserve energy supplies.The concept of such a fund was outlined in an earlier issue of this report.
