Technical Assistance to the Net Zero Mission – Sarajevo Functional Urban Area FWC SEA 2023 – LOT 4:
Project description
The project aims to provide comprehensive technical support to the Net Zero Mission within the Sarajevo Functional Urban Area (FUA), encompassing the City of Sarajevo, City of East Sarajevo, and Canton Sarajevo. The overall objective of this assignment is to assist these municipalities in preparing three documents: the Cities Mission Climate City Contract (CCC), the City’s Climate Neutrality Action Plan (CNAP), and the Climate Neutrality Investment Plan (CNIP).
In order to meet the objectives above the Consultant shall undertake undertook the following tasks:
- Preparation of the Inception Report
- Project Scoping
- Net Zero Cities (NZC) data collection and review
- Assessment of NZC Institutional Framework
- Stakeholder Engagement and Citizens Assembly
- Preparation of the Stakeholder Engagement Plan
- Establishment of Citizen Assembly (CA) – sending invitation letters, collection of applications, selection of members and their notification
- Citizen’s consultation process – organization and implementation of three Workshops
- Development of Climate Neutrality Action Plan (CNAP)
- Assessment of Current Status of Climate Actions
- Document the GHG Inventory methodology
- Comprehensive assessment of current policy baseline
- Pathways Towards Climate Neutrality within the next decade
- Defining actions and modelling GHG emission reduction for 3 scenarios (BAU and 2 scenarios with GHG emission reduction)
- Development of MCA tool & Prioritization of Climate Actions
- Develop the Monitoring Plan
- Identifying the Enabling Factors Required for the CNAP
- NZC Climate Neutrality Investment Plan (CNIP)
- City Financial Assessment
- Assessment of Investment Pathways
- Assessment of Financial Enabling Factors
- Preparation of a Sarajevo FUA NZC Roadmap
- Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) Scoping
Types of services provided
ENOVA provided expertise in relation to the following:
- Assessment of current NZC Institutional Framework that is currently in place, to identify and recommend any enhancements or modifications that may be required to facilitate the successful development, adoption and implementation of Climate Neutral Actions and Investments for the Sarajevo FUA.
- Assessment and validation of the available Sarajevo FUA baseline GHG emissions (GHG emission data – inventory) and identification of any key gaps. In addition, developing methodologies to be used to complete gaps in the existing city data and information required for the baseline.
- Citizens Assembly – the convening of 3 consecutive Citizens Assemblies (CA) on the following topics: – i) Mobility and AFOLU, ii) Heating and Cooling and Clean/Energy Efficiency incl. Industrial Processes & Product Use (IPPU), and iii) Digital Transformation and Circular Economy (waste).
- Development of the Climate Neutrality Action Plan (CNAP) for Sarajevo FUA aims to reinforce the importance of achieving the NZC Mission objective.
- Development of MCA tool & Prioritisation of Climate Actions
- Development of an approach, such as the ‘backcasting’ method that will drive the path to net-zero emissions over the period of the Mission.
- Scenario modelling – development, assessment and comparison of performance for different scenarios to support the pathways towards a Net Zero Emission City within the next decade. This includes a Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario, as well as a number (a minimum of 3 with short and longer-term outcomes/horizons) alternative scenarios that reflect variations in GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions, energy production, consumption, application of levels of new technology and innovation, as well as detailing different behavioural changes across the sectors.
- Developing the NZC Climate Neutrality Investment Plan (CNIP) for the Sarajevo FUA and clearly map out the interventions, costs and resources needed to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. This involves mobilising capital from national and international funding agencies, as well as addressing the city’s capacity for developing and implementation the Plan.
- Preparation of a Sarajevo FUA NZC Roadmap with actions, a viable timeline and necessary resources for achieving them.
- Review of the existing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) for Sarajevo and preparation of a technical paper covering the following issues:
- general observations on the SUMP,
- review of progress in implementing the relevant SUMP measures, including progress towards achieving indicators (such as GHG emissions), and highlighting of any notable technical, administrative, capacity or other challenges which may be inhibiting implementation of the measures; and
- preparation of a Draft Scope of work for an update of the SUMP according to the findings of the above
