Document Summary:
In light of the bottom-up nature of climate actions and policies, and its potential challenges for assessing individual and collective impact of different mitigation actions, as well as ensuring their robust design and implementation, the World Bank developed the MAAP online interface to measure, compare and benchmark the relative performance and risks of climate actions. The MAAP consists of four independent modules (1) mitigation action program; (2) management entity; (3) financial structure; and (4) development benefits. Each module consists of a set of key indicators and assessment areas, which reflect what climate experts consider to be as key components of any type of climate action. The final score of the module is based on the aggregated weighted scores of the assessment areas and key indicators. By providing a standardized, yet flexible framework to enhance the comparability of diverse climate actions, the MAAP aims to help decision makers develop and select more robust climate actions; track progress towards NDC goals; facilitate knowledge/technology transfer; and ultimately enhance international cooperation.
Document Details:
The MAAP was developed by the World Bank and DNV GL Energy in May 2014. Since then, the team has undertaken an extensive consultation and review process with a range of expert groups, such as the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the New Climate Institute, in order to continually develop and refine the MAAP’s methodology, as well as ensure the completeness and credibility of the assessments. Since December 2015, the MAAP has been applied to more than 180 mitigation actions globally, including Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Projects, Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Projects, Low Carbon City Programs, Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy Plans, among others. Based on the tool’s application to a wide range of mitigation actions globally, the MAAP has proven to provide useful insights into the steps required to further advance the development of robust, “market-ready” mitigation actions. It has also been used to help countries screen, prioritize and finance mitigation actions, based on their perceived mitigation impact. In the long run, the MAAP could also provide useful information to enhance the comparability and exchangeability of mitigation outcomes, with the ultimate goal of supporting their trade and exchangeability in liquid, scalable international climate markets under the new Paris Regime.
