1. Best practices and experiences. 2. Value Addition (value chain analysis)

3. Capacity Development, capacity assessment

4. Top down, disciplined and data oriented approach using Six Sigma (measure, analyze, improve and control) 5. 4Ms (measure, model, map & monitor) 5. Empowered and committed staff at all levels having proven technical, scientific and Managerial skills

What is Low Carbon Economy?

What is it? What will shape it? Who are we positioning for it? Like Elsewhere New Libya too is on a journey to a lower carbon world. This means world over, as also in New Libya, there is need to work along the three axis of: energy efficiency; decarbonisation; and renewables.

Low Carbon Economy (LCE)

A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) or LowFossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE)is a concept that refers to an economy Road Map which has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.

Targets for The Transition to Low Carbon Economy: New Libya follows EU Model
EU 20/20/20 by 2020 - 20% reduction on 1990 levels of GHG emissions (rising to 30% with a global agreement 95% by 2050) - 20% share for renewables in EU energy consumption - 20% reduction in energy use through energy efficiency

HOW? AND WHAT IS SHAPING IT? New Libyan energy infrastructure is & will experience the most significant change since it was first built: New Libya plans to have electric cars on the road. Conventional cars will be 40 per cent more efficient. New Libya plans to have green home makeovers New Libyan plan for new buildings will meet zero carbon home standards And every home will have smart meters And all of this will create new jobs

Delivering the Low Carbon Economy requires both evolution and revolution

Carbon Footprints the first step in the low carbon transition

Measurement Is The First Step

You Cant Manage What You Dont Measure 1.Measure your GHG emissions 2.Set a reduction target and plan 3.Reduce energy and emissions and save money

4.Ask your suppliers to disclose to you

The Carbon Disclosure Project is vital and we have to get everybody to participate in it. Bill Clinton

Risks and Opportunities

Disclosure can spur innovation CDP has shown that internationally consistent disclosure not only helps to pinpoint risk but also to generate opportunities

James Murdoch, The Financial Times May 2008

The WAY FORWARD The Carbon Disclosure Projects detailed reporting is helping persuade companies throughout the world to measure, manage, disclose and ultimately reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. No other organization is gathering this type of corporate climate change data and providing it to the marketplace. Ban Ki-moon UN Secretary-General

Costs and Benefits of Climate Change

Global costs of climate change estimated to be 12% of GDP with early action, from 5-20% without early action
.

Before the Industrial Revolution, for thousands of years, the amount of carbon in the atmosphere was at 287ppm

Now, after three centuries of burning coal, oil, and gas, we're at 390ppm thats above any levels weve seen in recorded history.

2. We also know that CO2 influences global temperature

Where well be mid-century if we keep this up
550ppm? More?

Libyan Initiative on the green economy is designed

to serve & support research, innovation, education and the development of clean technologies through the implementation of the Bali Strategic Plan for Technology Support and Capacity-building, in order to achieve the objectives established in chapter 34 of Agenda 21.

An expert think tank/forum/platform for sharing experience and disseminating information and best practices are being established to support the transition to a low carbon economy. This process is accompanied by the development of expertise in strategic planning and integrated management of water resources, renewable energies, efforts to combat desertification and protection of biodiversity.

A number of initiatives, have also been created at Libyan Academy, including the First Libyan Environmental Engineering & Sciences Center (EESC), Libyan Business Council for Sustainable Development (LBCSD), Libyan 350 org, Libyan National Platform for Risk Reduction, Care Libya Brand Foundation (CLBF), Desert Prosperity Initiative, Sustainable Solid Waste Management Initiative. The national, regional rebuilding schemes, and initiatives provide a policy framework for a wide range of environmental protection and regional rebuilding development after the Arab Spring aimed at sustainable development

New Libya is developing national adaptation plan and undertaking several new projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions like carbon capture and storage in geological formations, in Libya. New Sectoral policies & programs are being initiated and implemented in the following areas: infrastructure rebuilding, environmental education, , Oil & Gas resources management, water conservation, ecosystem preservation, desert development, improvement of quality of life and health, cleaner development mechanism, reduction of industrial pollution and protection of archaeological, historical and cultural heritage.

Concluding Remarks
Knowledge based economy having characteristics of speed, quality, flexibility, knowledge and network requires promoting human interaction and innovation in Institutes Success depends upon how much value we add at every point of program and how much we can be entrepreneurial, creative, flexible and proactive to change in all aspects of management and operations. Collaborations and initiatives are needed to avoid duplication or waste of efforts through Institute, Industry Interaction.

Concluding Remarks
5. Customers are always the best judge of the quality and value of the services they are offered. It is important to measure their satisfaction with current services and to use their desires and visions as catalysts for the design, development, and deployment of new services for responsible and sustainable development.

6. With limited resources and ever-increasing demands for services. Knowledge of the real costs for each service -- using the financial measures can help make the choices among services rational and the improvement of services mandatory and measurable.
