PROLOGUE
Climate change and its effects in Chile has been a permanent concern during the last
years, which transcends governments and has become one of the most significant
environmental issues in the country, as well as in the World. Within the commitments
undertaken by Chile with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change, we present for the third time our Biennial Update Report which accounts for
progress achieved regarding greenhouse gases mitigation.
Chile ratified the Paris Agreement in February, 2017. A key aspect of such Agreement
consists in having an enhanced transparency framework so as to provide a clear view
on the measures adopted to face climate change in the light of the Convention’s
purpose. For this reason, the effort we make as a country at delivering this Third
Biennial Update Report shows our interest in drawing attention to the actions carried
out by the public and private sectors, reflecting the country’s commitment towards a
sustainable, resilient and low-carbon emission development.
This report presents the update of our greenhouse gas national inventory from 1990
to 2016. This inventory is developed under the best standards and information
available per sector. In addition, the biennial report presents the progress in public
policies that are contributing to GHG emissions reduction in the country, as is the case
of the 2050 Energy Policy, the Energy Roadmap, the National Strategy on Climate
Change and Vegetation Resources and the Electro-mobility Strategy, among other.
The report shows, in turn, information on international support the country has received for the development of activities related
to climate change, in addition to an identification of the main needs still existing at the sectors, so that we as a country move
forward in the fulfillment of our commitments.
Having this type of reports is not only positive as regards our country’s transparency, but it also allows us to make timely decisions
and to design public policies based on the best information available, apart from creating an instance of capacity building and
collaboration among the different organizations.
Commitment, collaboration and the excellent job performed by each of the public organizations participating in the preparation
of this report are specially highlighted, as well as the technical and financial support delivered to Chile by the international
cooperation projects.
Our challenges related to climate change are numerous and urgent. President Sebastián Piñera, in his first public statement of
2018, has considered climate change as one of the three main challenges for the country. This report provides us with valuable
information regarding what we have been doing in the country, and how is our greenhouse gas emissions trajectory behaving.
In this respect, we in Chile are working on climate action and also on the Climate Change Framework Law project; in the
development of a Long-Term Climate Strategy and in the review and update of our Nationally Determined Contribution.
All of the above shall provide us with the necessary climate institutions, in order to approach the commitments and challenges of
the future, those allowing us to leave a more sustainable and resilient to climate change country for the future generations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• In 2016, the country´s total GHG emissions (excluding LULUCF) amounted to 111,677.5 kt CO2 eq, increasing by 114.7 % compared
to 1990 and by 7.1 % compared to 2013. The main GHG emitted was CO2 (78.7 %), followed by CH4 (12.5 %), N2O (6.0 %), and
fluorinated gases (2.8 %).
• The Energy sector is the largest GHG emitter in the country, accounting for 78.0 % of total emissions in 2016, mainly due to the
consumption of coal and diesel for power generation and consumption of liquid fuels in road transport.
• Land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector is the only sector that consistently removes GHG in the country and remains as
a sink for the entire time series. In 2016, the balance of GHG emissions recorded -65,492.3 kt CO2 eq, mainly due to the increase of
biomass in second-growth native forest and forest plantations.
• The balance between GHG emissions and removals for Chile (including LULUCF) reached 46,185.2 kt CO2 eq.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
a) Chile is committed to reduce its CO2 emissions per GDP unit by 30 % below their 2007 levels by 2030, considering a future economic
growth which allows to implement adequate measures to reach this commitment.
b) In addition, and subject to the grant of international monetary funds, the country is committed to reduce its CO2 emissions per GDP unit
by 2030 until it reaches a 35 % to 45 % reduction with respect to the 2007 levels, considering, in turn, a future economic growth which
allows to implement adequate measures to achieve this commitment.
a) Chile has committed to the sustainable development and recovery of 100,000 hectares of forest land, mainly native, which will account
for greenhouse gas sequestrations and reductions of an annual equivalent of around 600,000 tons of CO2 as of 2030. This commitment
is subject to the approval of the Native Forest Recovery and Forestry Promotion Law.
b) Chile has agreed to reforest 100,000 hectares, mostly with native species, which shall represent sequestrations of about 900,000
and 1,200,000 annual equivalent tons of CO2 as of 2030. This commitment is conditioned to the extension of Decree Law 701 and the
approval of a new Forestry Promotion Law.

• In the Energy sector activity and parametric data were used, the majority from the National Energy Balances, statistics of automotive
park for Road Transportation and default emission factors.
• In the IPPU sector activity data from the public yearbooks of the productive companies, of Chile official statistics from the National
Institute of Statistics (INE) and from the National Customs Service were used; in addition to country-specific emission factors for productions
of lime, cement, glass, iron and steel, while for the rest of the categories default emission factors were used.
• In the Agriculture sector activity data were used mainly from Agricultural Censuses; in addition to country specific emission factors for
enteric fermentation (cattle), manure management (cattle and pigs) and direct emissions for use of inorganic nitrogen fertilizers, while for
the other categories default emission factors were used.
• In the LULUCF sector activity data were used mainly from the Vegetation Record and Sectorial Statistics; and country-specific emission
factors for forest land mainly from the National Forestry Inventory, while for other uses of the land default emission factors were used.
• In the Waste sector activity data from the population censuses of the INE, statistics of solid wastes of the MMA, flow of waste water
and sludge by the Superintendence of Sanitary Services (SISS) and the Survey of National Social-Economic Characterization (CASEN)
prepared by the Ministry of Social Development (MDS) were used; in addition to default emission factors.

• The definition of governance for climate change, in which the whole society and its actors - the State, civil society, the private sector-
are included and converged towards a common, long-term goal. This will allow giving a response to the impacts - economic, social,
environmental and human - generated by climate change; and it will ensure that climatic actions generate tangible benefits to move
towards a low-carbon development and resilient to climate.
• Having a long-term vision of climate change. This allows guiding the definition of the goal and peak emissions, as well as the actions
and instruments for its compliance. In addition, it will provide guidelines to the sectors and a time horizon to the financial strategies,
creation and strengthening of capacities, and technology and development transfer. This will make it easier to project them in the long

• The need to review and reconsider the design of the NDC which should include at least the following points: vision of climate policy,
its role, content and structure, sectorial responsibilities, among others.
• Evaluation of Chile’s commitments and strengthening governance for the fulfillment of the NDC.
• Development of sectorial mitigation scenarios linked to the NDC for the planning of public policy.
• Strategy to increase the participation of the private sector in the implementation of actions by incorporating a gender approach.

• Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Plan for the Energy Sector, whose main objective is to encourage measures to address climate variability
and support a gradual transition to an economy and energy matrix significantly lower in carbon.
• Energy efficiency law, which seeks to generate the necessary incentives to encourage efficient use of energy in the sectors of greatest
consumption (large industry and mining, transportation and buildings) and create a greater energy culture throughout population.
• National Strategy for Electromobility, an initiative that sets the axes and priority actions for the promotion of electromobility in Chile, that
will allow reducing GHG emission by obtaining their energy from an energy matrix with increasing participation of renewable sources.
This initiative is being developed together with the ministries of Environment and Transportation.
• Decarbonization table, developed within the framework of the voluntary agreement signed by the companies members of the Association
of Chilean Generators, AES Gener, Colbun, Enel and Engie, to carry out a process of decarbonization of the matrix, where the Ministry
of Energy cooperates through a multidisciplinary coordination and the collection of background information, in order to strengthen the
discussion in labor, security of supply, economic, environmental and health areas.
• Strategy for the development and penetration of renewable thermal technologies, which will enhance the use of renewable technologies
for the supply of thermal or heat needs, replacing the use of fossil fuels and wet firewood.
• Renewable thermal programs, including program of direct uses of geothermal energy, the installation of solar thermal systems in homes
and identification of the potential of biogas plants in industrial sectors.
• Public-private work table on adaptation to climate change in the Energy sector, in order to share experiences of adaptation applied,
prioritize adaptation actions and address a timeline for implementation of the actions.
• Public-private table on mechanisms of tradable emission or other that generate a strategy proposal with the options of cost-effective
instruments for the sector.
• Trading platform of renewable generation projects certificates, both at a large and small scale of distributed generation, in addition to
energy efficiency measures.
• Coordinating Committee on Energy Innovation, which role is to identify and prioritize challenges and define the strategic guidelines to
guide decision-making, in pursuit of the market competitiveness, social wellbeing and the sustainability of the sector.
• Promotion of distributed generation at a residential level, through the diffusion of benefits, consumer profiles, suppliers and financing
sources.
• Educational energy strategy, an instrument that aims to bring the energy sector closer to society as a whole, improving the skills of
individuals to make informed decisions, adopting new technologies, be responsible citizens and efficient managers of their natural

• Implementers and verifiers table, which aims to reach agreements with respect to the verification process and propose methods for
integration into the program, identifying benefits and barriers for different types of organizations.
• System of verifiers Accreditation: In 2015 arises from the Ministry of Environment, through the HuellaChile Program, the need to
create a system of accreditation of verifiers in the management of GHG emissions. Currently, the National Institute of Standardization
is developing such a system, based on international experiences on requirements for organizations which perform verification and
validation activities, together with the start-up of the incorporation of the ISO/CASCO Mirror Committee, aimed to begin the discussion
of the international standard ISO/IEC CD 17029 draft, General principles and requirements for bodies performing validation and
verification activities.
• Support local environmental management: since 2015 HuellaChile and the team of Local Environmental Management (GAL) began
supporting municipalities that are participating in the Municipal Environmental Certification System (SCAM), so that they can be part of
the HuellaChile program. This support consisted in trainings to those responsible for the environmental certification of municipalities at
advanced levels in different regions of the country.
• Negotiation and implementation of goals of GHG management in Clean Production Agreements (CPA). To date, there has been
participation in the negotiation of the processed foods III and Transportation CPAs. Additionally, the team of HuellaChile has supported
the implementation of the goals related to the management of GHG emissions of Containers and Packaging, Smelters III, San Antonio
Port logistics APL, among other. This support involved training to those responsible for the facilities participating in the various agreements
on quantification and reduction of GHG emissions, and about the use of the calculation tool of the program.
• Consultancy for the preparation of GHG reduction guides at offices and in the agricultural sector. During 2017 a consultancy
developed for the preparation of a guide to best techniques and technologies for the reduction of GHG emissions at offices and in the
agricultural sector. The objective was to support the generation of information for the encouragement of the implementation of GHG
reduction actions in the sectors mentioned.
• Estimation of local emission factors. During 2017 and 2018, with the participation of interns, work was done in the obtaining of
local emission factors, including electrical subsystems, raw materials and commodities, waste treatment and disposal, among other. The
calculation of these factors is carried out through the life cycle assessment (ACV).
• Updating calculation tool, includes error fixing and improvements for quantification of GHG emissions. In addition, to incorporate into
the tool a system for calculation and reporting of GHG reductions through implementation of mitigation actions, as well as reporting

The activities proposed for the additional phase are executed through two new components that are added to the PMR-Chile:
• Component 5: improvement and supplementation of the scope of current carbon tax and the registration system.
Considered to be within its expected results: (i) assess the first year of implementation of the carbon tax in order to deliver recommendations
to address some of the impacts of its operation, such as costs of implementation, arrangements of regulated entities, fundraising,
operation of the registration system and MRV system, among other; (ii) implement the recommendations identified in the assessment
of the tax that permit their continuous improvement; (iii) support the efforts of the Ministry of Environment to implement a system of
mandatory reporting of greenhouse gases.
Its implementation is led by the Ministry of Environment (MMA), in coordination with the Ministry of Energy (MdE), Ministry of Finance
(MdH), Superintendence for the Environment (SMA) and Internal Tax Service (SII).
• Component 6: Assessment alternative plans of carbon pricing for the energy sector.
Under this component, alternative carbon pricing in the medium and long term, their contribution to the reduction of GHG emissions in
the context of compliance with national commitments on climate change under the Paris Agreement and their role in sectorial climate
policies of our country in the future will continue being evaluated. In this context contributes to: (i) The implementation of a simulation
tool of climate policies in the energy sector. Assessment of complementary initiatives of carbon pricing, including the identification of
possible trajectories of emissions reductions and corresponding measures in the energy sector up to 2030; (ii) Development of an MRV
scheme for accounting for emissions reductions of mitigation actions related to energy.
Its implementation is led by the MdE, in coordination with the MMA and SMA.
• Component 3 and 4:
These two components will continue to be executed in the additional phase, as are crosswise and required to support two new
components mentioned above. Thus, under Component 3, will continue running the strategy of communication, consultation and
participation with decision-makers and other interested parties, and strengthening technical expertise in the public and private sector
with regard to the new activities proposed for the additional phase of the Project PMR-Chile, while under Component 4, will include all
the activities associated with the administrative, financial and management control of the PMR-Chile Project.

In the short term, the national funding is insufficient for the permanent recruitment of suitable personnel at the technical
teams, and the development of country-specific emission factors.
Financial Resources
There are still gaps in the technical capabilities of professionals who are a part of the technical teams at SNICHILE,
particularly in the development of country-specific emission factors.
Capacity building and technical assistance
• All SNICHILE professionals have other responsibilities within their position profile, added to the reduced number of
professionals which causes a work overload, translating into each professional being forced to prioritize their working
hours, abandoning the opportunity to train themselves in the NGHGI;
• Staff turnover inherent to work at State agencies, and to the fixed-term retention of external consultants that leave the
teams at the end of the service provision;
• The limited number of experts in the NGHGI field inside the country, in both the public and private sectors, which
reduces the chances of a frequent exchange of experiences at a national level.
Having information that better reflects the national reality, the country does not possess the adequate technology
to perform measurements (fuel carbon content, soil carbon, GHG from soils, firewood and animals, among other).

Need Status
The need to improve the way in which information on support received is recorded and compiled at a sector level subsists, and
how we could centralize its management. The information reported does not allow identifying and accurately differentiate the
resources committed from those disbursed for a particular project over a specific period of time.
To increase the quality of the emissions estimate from the waste sector the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT)
project is considered, which includes resources for data activity and parameters improvement of this sector, particularly those
related to solid waste.
Emission factors have been developed for some categories of Agriculture and LULUCF sectors. However, it is necessary to
continue promoting scientific activity (through training and technology transfer) for a continuous research of these values. In
the case of the energy sector, it is required to improve the collection of information on fuels characteristics for the subsequent
development of country-specific emission factors. Notwithstanding the above, the MINENERGIA does not yet have the means
(legal and technical) to begin this process.
Although a working agreement with the MINENERGIA is maintained, there is a need to institutionalize the links with the MINA-
GRI and its institutions. Such strengthening is still pending, but in spite of its absence, the sector teams’ willingness has allowed
the good performance of the SNICHILE work plan.
Work has been done towards the delivery of technical support on the MRV issue, as well as in the follow-up of policies related
to mitigation. We have also participated in the development of sector policies linked to the issue of climate change. In the short
term, it is intended to develop a platform for registration and information of mitigation actions, allowing to permanently maintain
communication and systematization of information through the registration of mitigation actions that include sector policies. It is
expected to develop this platform through the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) project.
The Ministry of the Environment is looking for ways to strengthen the capacity to quantify the impact of the real and expected
GHG mitigation actions within sectors. So far, the most important progress is associated to the development of the future Chilean
Climate Change Law, where it is expected to define certain sector responsibilities that include this point.
This work was undertaken for the preparation of the present report, strengthening the capacities on mitigation actions in
different sectors. Among them, the Energy sector entirely assumed the development of its section in the preparation of this BUR.
It is soon expected to have some type of platform that allows keeping involved the various ministries and institutions in the BUR
development.
As mentioned in point e), it is expected to have a registration of mitigation actions platform to gather the information necessary
for reports on a permanent basis.

1. Human Resources:
(i) SSRE projects face a lack of access to qualified technicians because the market is new and underdeveloped) which will depend on the particular RE
technology. There is a limited number of consultants or consulting firms specializing in the development of projects. At the same time, there is a limited
availability of installers that can implement the projects.
(ii) Insufficient companies with experience and a lack of monitoring to projects development causes an increased perception of the risk involved in SSRE
projects.
(iii) Once the SSRE projects have been implemented, there is a limited number of qualified technicians to operate and maintain plants and equipment, in
particular in those cities located outside the Metropolitan Region.
(i) The amount of SSRE projects that can be funded is limited, mainly due to a lack of willingness to invest in (pre) feasibility studies, particularly in less
developed Renewable Energy technologies, due to high initial costs and a high-risk perception.
(ii) There is a limited access to loans offered by financial institutions because these entities prefer to invest in projects of greater capacity so as to achieve
scale economies.
(iii) The lack of familiarity of the banks with respect to the investment in SSRE projects leads to higher costs of credits resulting from the perception of risk,
which reduces the financial feasibility of SSRE projects.
(iv) The high transaction costs for projects such as "Small Means of Distributed Generation" (PMGD) could become significant economic barriers.
(v) Generally, the high expectations of companies are being overshadowed by the high costs of some technologies, the low return on investment and long
payback for investors, which could slow down the investment in projects SSRE since the investment could be less attractive compared to other business
opportunities.
3. Awareness Barriers:
(i) The general knowledge in relation to Renewable Energy systems is limited, in particular in specific applications of SSRE addressed to certain industrial
sectors.
The owners of companies in various industrial sectors do not understand the working of SSRE technologies, so they do not have certainty with respect
to the technological and economic potential that technologies offer in the operation of their business.

Description of MRV
The National Center for Innovation and Promotion of Sustainable Energy Development (CIEDS, an institution that currently has been dissolved), fullfilled the creation
of a digital platform to obtain a database of NCRE projects. The platform was initially conceived as a project management system that allows to: standardize and
organize projects; monitor the variables of each project; collect information, indicators, state, etc. of different kinds of NCRE projects.
From its initial conception the possibility has emerged that this platform becomes an MRV system for the management of SSRE projects information that are imple-
mented through the NAMA Support Project. The platform is currently not in use as since a computing point of view, it is not possible to update it (it has an obsolete
system), consequently it will be necessary to create a new MRV system.
The development of an MRV model will allow the Technical Component of the NSP project to contribute with an MRV system for the Renewable Energy sector, for
self-supply. This applies to both the mitigation of GHG emissions resulting from the NSP, as to the NAMA for domestic self-supply, without focusing on additional
activities, impacts or co-benefits implemented for or resulting from the NSP project. The goal is an MRV system to individually calculate GHG reduction from a
bottom-up approach.
This way, the future goal of the platform is that professionals of public institutions have the information available so that they can develop reports as they deem
necessary, in accordance with the requirements established by, for example, the MMA or donor funds. The platform should specify, at each stage, what are the
parameters that should be controlled and generate the indicators that allow to optimize projects management.
Currently, an MRV system is being implemented for the SSRE sector, which is being developed jointly with the Division of Renewable Energies (DER) of the Ministry
of Energy. This will make it possible to quantify the reduction of GHG emissions from renewable energy projects for self-supply. The purpose is to develop an MRV
system allowing to individually calculate GHG reduction from a bottom-up approach. Renewable energy technologies considered in the quantification of emissions
reduction are: photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, micro and mini hydro, geothermal heat pumps, biogas and biomass.

1) Promotion of vehicles from zero and low emissions in the fleets of light vehicles (taxis and munici-
pal fleet) and charging stations; 2) More efficient buses for public transportation; 3) Promotion of use
of non-motorized vehicles, including the implementation of new lanes of high standard for bicycles,
a system of public bicycles, a solution for connectivity of existing bikeways, and signals for bikes
in two areas of the ZVTS; 4) Management and redesign of transit, with new pedestrian streets and
semi pedestrian streets, exclusive bus lanes of zero and low emission levels, and bicycle parking.
These initiatives are scalable and replicable. The first target set for the NAMA (2011 and under im-
plementation since 2014) would be carried out within a defined area of Santiago downtown, Chile,
area which corresponds to the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Santiago.
The geographical perimeter proposed for the ZVST was defined together with the Municipality of
Santiago. The area includes the historical triangle of the city’s downtown, which covers about two
square kilometers. Many historical places of interest may be found within the ZVST, including Plaza
de Armas, the Cathedral of Santiago, the Government Palace "La Moneda", the Municipal Theater,
the Central Market of Santiago and the Forest Park, among other. The selected area is a very popular
area, for tourism and commercial, which guarantees a high impact and high visibility for all the initi-
atives of the ZVST. One of the main conclusions of the participatory process with the actors interested
in developing the ZVST, is that it must be regarded as a pilot project with great potential for scaling
and replicability, contributing to the redefinition of a model of urban passenger transportation with a
new approach to integrated transportation and sustainable development. The implementation of the
ZVTS will also provide new ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local pollutants.
In its 2016 update (April and September) work was done on the scalability of the entire city of San-
tiago and replication of two (2) Green Zones: one in a city in the north of the country and another
in the south of the country.

Economic: technological measures involve a high increase in the capital cost which makes the holder of technology (buses and taxis operators) assume too much risk
in the investment, considering that it is a non-proven technology in the country. For this early stage, providers are offering, in several cases, the financial instrument
of operating lease which includes instalment.
Cultural: the measures for the promotion of non-motorized vehicles and management and redesign of transit are smaller in popularity because it implies removing
space for private vehicles to give space to bicycles and pedestrians, respectively. To overcome this barrier, technology exists of flow automatic meters, both for
pedestrians and bicycles, which may argue with real figures the impact of these measures in terms of mobility of individuals and not of vehicles. Also, the electric
vehicle technologies are unknown by the operators and users, which requires making dissemination of results and testing such as those covered by the first goal of
the Green Zone NAMA for transportation in Santiago.

Funding Source
Own resources for the Goal In relation to what has already been implemented, for the case of the goal, defined as the first
Green Zone for transportation in Santiago, the national contribution amounts to USD 31.7 million
(95% public and 5%private contribution). The contribution has been mainly granted to initiatives 3
and 4 of the NAMA ZVTS, which are those of integration of sustainable modes of transportation.
Another contribution which considered in the future implementation of the Goal corresponds to the
amount equivalent to a conventional technology for the case of light vehicles and buses, equivalent
to USD 2.8 million.
Own Resources for Scaling (Santiago) Contribution that is considered in the future implementation to scale the NAMA ZVTS to the Great
Santiago, it corresponds to the amount equivalent to a conventional technology in the case of light
vehicles and buses, equivalent to USD 83.4 million (within 3 years).
Own resources to replicate (Regions) Contribution that is considered in the future implementation to replicate the NAMA ZVTS in regions
of Chile, corresponds to the amount equivalent to a conventional technology for the case of light
vehicles and buses, equivalent to USD 95.1 million (within 3 years).
In addition, for the case of electric taxis in regions, a public contribution is considered (subsidy from
the Ministry of Transportation to renew fleet of this segment). For 300 taxis in regions, the additional
public contribution would be USD 2.7 million (additional to the previous amount).
Type of resources required Soft loan and subsidies from the State and private investment
Comments The funding required given the current level of implementation (2016) has its main focus financing
the technological components of the NAMA Green Zone for transportation in its initiatives 1 and
2.
Comments The Municipality of Santiago would require additional human resources in order to adequately
lead the NAMA ZVTS during the implementation process and the MRV process. In addition, the
implementation of international financing will require a high administrative work to put in place
the budget and support properly, and to inform to international donors.
MRV Description
In 2015, CAF - Development Bank of Latin America - through the Climate Change Unit (UCC), signed a cooperation agreement with the Municipality of Santiago
(IMS). The objective of this cooperation was to provide technical support, guidance and knowledge deemed necessary for the review, adjust and supplement of
the NAMA ZVTS, with special emphasis on the preparation of the base line, the measurement, reporting and verification system (MRV), and the quantification of
the co-benefits.
So, with the financing of CAF and the sponsorship of the IMS, the study called Baseline, Measurement, Reporting and Verification System (MRV) and quantification
of the co-benefits of the NAMA "Green Zone for Transportation in Santiago-ZVTS" was prepared by Sustainable Systems. The overall objective of the study was
to carry out a plan of Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) to determine the baseline and assessment of impacts on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)
and co-benefits of the NAMA ZVTS.
To carry out the main goal and specific objectives, a methodology was developed which included three (3) phases of work:
Phase 1 of "Update". This phase of the project updated the NAMA Green Zone in its four (4) initiatives, in addition to identifying relevant actors and characterize
the national sectorial context in terms of policies and regulations.
Phase 2 of "Quantification". In this phase the base line was characterized, the reduction potential was determined and the plan for Monitoring, Reporting and
Verification (MRV) was developed for the NAMA Green Zone allowing assessing the impacts of the NAMA on emissions and co-benefits.
With regard to the MRV design, standardized methodologies were used for the assessment of GHG mitigation projects and corresponding co-benefits: 1) the
document prepared by the Ministry of Environment "Guidelines for a generic framework of MRV for NAMAs in Chile"; and 2) the international document of the
World Research Institute "Standard for Policy and Action". The result of the MRV system design for the Green Zone allows assessing the impacts of projects in
different scopes (local, regional, national) that integrate into any of the four (4) initiatives of the NAMA Green Zone. All the products associated to the MRV system
leave standardized tools in order to be able to give continuity to the escalation phase of the NAMA Green Zone, which has been called the "National Strategy
for Sustainable Transportation". These standardized tools allow evaluating both ex-ante and ex-post the impacts defined in consulting, through the definition of six
(6) input indicators, 17 indicators of activity, 23 indicators of intermediate effect, four (4) GHG Indicators and 18 non-GHG indicators where 10 of the latter are
co-benefits. All these indicators have detailed protocols for their assessment, framed in the MRV Plan for the NAMA Green Zone, in addition to a tool that allows
for follow-up and assessment of each of these indicators and the entire NAMA Green Zone.
Phase 3 of "Sustainability". This phase was intended to establish the conditions to support the NAMA Green Zone in the medium and long term, analyzing barriers
and the requirements for financial and technical assistance.
2. The DTPM13 is developing a study to improve the incentive program in the contracts to operators to encourage the use of clean technologies, in view of the
fleet renovation associated with current contracts and also for the upcoming concessions that begin in 2018.
3. The promotion of Non-motorized vehicles is being diverted mainly to partnerships between local governments or municipalities, which are supported by the
central government, represented by the SEREMIT and the MTT
4. In the case of management and redesign, something similar happens as in the previous initiative, majors are searching to improve their civic centers, giving
more space to pedestrians.

Description The objective of the NAMA is included within the framework of the ENCCRV, serving as technical and economic support for
the development of studies and activities aimed at identifying and reducing weaknesses of baseline information, in addition to
increasing the capacities of national and regional technical teams related to ENCCRV.
During the preparation stage of the ENCCRV, funding obtained through the NAMA has been used to;
1. Define initial conceptual frameworks and preliminary approaches for estimating changes in forest carbon content and in xeric
formations, which will be key inputs for the future development of reference levels of forest emissions for the northern regions
of the country and island territories.
2. Develop a preliminary design of the scope that an MRV system should include, and a registration system for carbon dioxide.
3. Design Indicators of adaptation and vulnerability to climate change.
4. Develop models of forestry territorial management preventing forest fires.
5. Training activities have been developed crosswise, aimed at the creation and promotion of regional capacities through the
South-South exchange on issues related to the ENCCRV.

The activities and action measures of the ENCCRV have been prepared on the basis of multiple technical studies, projects, pro-
grams, and participatory programs and processes, which have made it possible to generate the necessary inputs for the imple-
mentation phase, an important part of which were generated within the framework of the forest NAMA which has the technical
and financial support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (COSUDE), representing the first international sup-
port received by CONAF within the framework of the ENCCRV. It is also important to clarify that all actions developed with the
NAMA’s technical support and funds are inserted and aligned within the activities developed in the framework of the ENCCRV.
At present, the NAMA project has already been completed, being its main contributions and products the following:
Developing a methodological protocol to determine the degree of vulnerability to climate change reduction. Through this frame-
work, attributes of adaptation and vulnerability to climate change were defined, effectively measurable from the technical and
economic point of view, generating a protocol for the assessment of measures implemented to reduce vulnerability and strength-
en resilience where these are implemented. The inputs used for the creation of the protocol were technical studies conducted by
experts and professionals of CONAF and the participatory consultation process already described.
This protocol contributes with key inputs in the determination of the Social and Environmental Indicators framework of the ENC-
CRV, which shall be used as a basis to generate the reports that will contain the Safeguards Implementation System (SIS). This
study was carried out with the support of a consortium formed by the Santiago Climate Exchange (SCX), FORECOS, CQuest
Capital, Global Adaptation Institute (GAIN) and Winrock International.
Two projects of territorial nature at Maule and Valparaiso regions were performed with the purpose of implementing forestry
activities for the prevention of forest fires in the forest-urban interface, in addition the costs of implementation of these activities
were determined and incorporated in the table of values of Law N° 20,283, as well as improving the definition of action meas-
ures linked to preventive forestry activities of forest fires.
Forestry projects were implemented with the technical support of the Protection Management against Forest Fires (GEPRIF) by
CONAF, the University of Chile and professionals of Valparaiso and Maule Regions. Another objective of this implementation
project is related to the generation of inputs and management models in the territory, scalable at a national level to reduce the
potential danger of fire spreading, with activities that are replicable in other areas of the country, contemplating modeling that
identify risk levels in other areas of the country. Demonstration modules have been used for training practices to various stake-
holders, such as decision-makers (congressmen, government authorities) and owners of forest land, with the purpose of having
communities more aware and adapted to forest fires.
Also, a powerful line of work that has been fostered by COSUDE is South-South Cooperation, where Chile has positioned itself
as a leader in the region, with countries in Latin America strengthening the dissemination of the work carried out by CONAF in
the framework of the ENCCRV, inside and outside the country through the performance of thematic courses with international
participants in the context of vegetation resources, climate change and desertification, as well as, the generation of cooperation
partnerships with other regional projects funded by the Swiss government, such as the Andean Forests Program.
The international courses are conducted jointly with the Chilean International Cooperation Agency (AGCI) of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, offering scholarships to ensure the attendance of participants from countries that maintain government actions
relating climate change to their vegetation resources, or are, just as Chile, developing their strategies to tackle climate change
and fight against desertification.

Methodologies Assumptions
The methodology for estimating emissions at the baseline is defined in detail in the Sub- All assumptions that have been used for estimation are described in the
national NREF/NRF of Chile. Subnational NREF/NRF and in the Annex of REDD+ results.
The methods used to estimate results are the same used in the NREF/NRF in order to
maintain consistency.
In the case of emissions that are associated with changes in land use, the "Gain and
Loss" method was applied, defined by IPCC. Maps of Forest Cadastre and the dasometric
information coming from the National Forest Inventory used as a source of information.
In the case of emissions that occur in forests that remain as forests, the "Stock Change"
method was applied. In the latter case, a method of estimating carbon contents and
flows is used based on forest inventory data and space extrapolation on satellite images
through the K-nn methodology.

Description In Chile, the promotion of cleaner production is carried out by the Agency of Sustainability and Climate
Change (ASCC), Committee depending of Corporación de Fomento - Chilean Economic Development
Agency (CORFO) CORFO. The ASCC is defined as an instance for dialogue and joint action among the
public sector, companies, their workers, communities and civil society, in order to establish and disseminate
an environmentally productive management approach that focuses on prevention and promotion of
production.
The ASCC goal for 2020 is contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions through its main instrument, the
Cleaner Production Agreement (CPA).
This instrument is developed by the Government of Chile with staff dedicated to its participation,
management and coordination, as well as through a financial support instrument: The Clean Production
Fund18, which co-finances up to 70% of the costs associated to the elaboration of an CPA, which are
divided into three lines of financing: the preparation of a general diagnosis of a productive sector, the
implementation phase and the acceptance asssement. The remaining fraction is funded by associations or
organizations representing the companies adhering to CPAs.
In the early years, CPAs did not consider actions aimed specifically to GHG reduction, however, a number of
measures that were agreed within the framework of these agreements have the effect of obtaining reductions.
That is why in 2010, with 54 implemented CPAs and certified by the ASCC until that year, a study was
retained to calculate GHG reductions of 16 CPAs in different industrial sectors. The results estimated
reductions in GHG emissions of 4,050,973 tCO2e19. In 2012 the ASCC registered CPAs with the UNFCCC20
as the first Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAS) of Chile and the world. This NAMA is in
operation and has incorporated a variety of actions with the effect of GHG mitigation, as well as indicators
to track their progress, which are delivered in this report.

It is the addition accrued from 2012 to 2020 of the GHG categories collected.
28
This is the addition of GHG categories collected. It is also a value associated to an indicator 9.4.1 ODS, for which there is no data on sales
price available, enabling to report it directly.

periodically updated operational data reductions are estimated for 2.25 tCO2e per year. These assumptions are problematic for
of the different Agreements managed by the following reasons:
the Agency. Assumptions (2), (6) and (9) are inconsistent, because they assume different periods of
validity for CPAs. Assumption (6) includes in 2012 impact calculation 45 CPAs that are
under diagnosis that same year, not yet signed. On the other hand, assumptions (4), (6) and
(7) would lead to assume that in 2012, 55 CPAs were signed, a figure five times greater
than the historical maxima existing prior to 2012. Assumptions (3), (5) and (8) assume that
all CPAs behave as the average of CPAs used in the Green Solutions study. In practice, this
has not been observed. The possible selection bias in the original study32, that over 80%
of the result is explained by a single CPA; verification of these values did not exist, and
standard deviation is three times the average should have led to the selection of a more
conservative or robust value. Related to the above, the assumption (2) of eight years is
completely arbitrary, since the green solutions study conducted before/after analysis without
setting years for these impacts, but a review of the individual results enables to infer them.
On the other hand, the assumptions used for each CPA in this study are not equivalent to the
assumptions currently used in the estimation of impacts33.
Other reasons that significantly influence the result obtained is that most of the CPAs
signed in the period 2012-2017 have not yet recorded their values34, and that there still
are emission categories that have not been estimated, such as reductions associated to
recycling.

These can be time-series.

1. Data are transferred to the association or to the consultant hired by the association, who conducts impact estimates in an impacts report once the CPA has
finished, report that sometimes includes some of the data collected. More frequent case.
2. Data are transferred through a spreadsheet to the association or to the consultant hired by the association, who delivers them to the ASCC together with
the impacts report. Recent practice as a result of changes introduced as a part of the MRV.
3. Data are transferred to NBC40 or uploaded to CompiteMAS platform within the context of the CompiteMAS public good. Then NBC estimates GHG impact
in a mitigation report which sometimes includes some of the data collected. Around 4 cases.
4. Data are delivered by company to verification entity (NBC) during the completion of a field verification, these data are subsequently sent to the ASCC. 13
cases, only one has been consolidated in this report.
5. Data are transferred from companies, Associations or consultant to the ASCC due to a subsequent process of data collection made from the ASCC in order
to retrieve data by establishment not previously reported, or to verify data previously reported. Around 5 cases.
Once obtained, data must be systematized in a spreadsheet and classified according to categories consistent with the existing ones in the national inventory, so
as to be able to use the corresponding emission factors. In the case of categories not associated to the national inventory, data are categorized so that they can
be compared between companies. In addition, all data are converted to a single base unit, which depends on the category. Additionally, a review is conducted
to indicate if the category to which the data belongs was effectively managed at the CPA41. Calculations are then applied to estimate scenarios, as well as other
control computations. A processing model is assigned to each base category, which usually coincides with an intermediate effect, for the calculation of base
scenarios and scenario with CPA:
1. Model "0" is used for qualitative, informative or evaluation data of the CPA by the participants, where modelling a base scenario is not required.
2. Model "1" is used in cases where it is assumed that in the base scenario the value for the category was "0", and in the scenario with CPA values are
those collected during it. This model is used in the statement of investments associated to the CPA or trainings for implementation of the CPA42.
3. Model "2" is used in those categories in which it is assumed that the CPA affects any productive parameter. The base scenario corresponds to the value
of the parameter in the year prior to the execution of the CPA, or the first annual data available after execution. This value is projected by assuming that the
parameter remains constant. For the case of a scenario with CPA, the data used are those actually measured for up to 7 years43 since the CPA execution, af-
ter which it is assumed that the CPA has no effect because the companies would had made the changes anyway. If such data are not available, it is assumed
that the last annual data available are kept constant.
4. Model "3" is used in those categories in which it is assumed that the CPA affects the intensity of use or generation of any substance given a certain level of
activity44 . The base scenario corresponds to the data prior to the CPA execution, or the first annual data available after execution. This value is projected by
assuming that intensity remains constant, hence the use or generation of each substance is projected on the basis of data activity of each year. For the case
of a scenario with CPA, the data used are those actually measured up to 7 years since the CPA execution, after which it is assumed that the CPA has no effect
because the companies would had made the changes anyway. In case these data are not available, the last annual data available are used and projected
on the basis of activity data for each year. If the activity data for a given year are not available, the adjustment of last year’s production for which data were
collected on the terms of variation of annual indicator of this particular sector are used as a proxy. If there are no sectorial data available, then the activity
data is assumed constant from the last year collected. Calculation is performed by establishment whenever possible, and results are subsequently added.
Once the modeling of categories on the basis of the resulting values are multiplied by emission factors, global warming potentials (GWP)45 and/or other
values46, as appropriate, so as to obtain the scenarios for the impact categories that are derived from the base categories (as is the case in all categories of
Greenhouse Gases reported). The difference between scenarios is the effect of the CPA.

It is questionable whether to declare the hours of training, or if investment is effectively only those associated with CPA, which would have not
been performed had it not existed. The shortage of historical data series makes it difficult to use a more sophisticated model.
43
The value of 7 years is used according to rule 49 (a) of the Clean Development Mechanism http://cdm.unfccc.int/EB/rules/modproced.html,
the choice of that period would be justified in time of technological change according to "The Complete Guide to Climate Change" section,
page 83.
44
This is inspired on some of the base lines of the Clean Development Mechanism.
45
GWP used are those of the AR5 (Assessment Report 5) for all GHGs considered, with the possible exception of the emissions associated with
the consumption of electric power, because the manner in which the Ministry of Energy estimates emission factors from the electric network is
not clear.
46
Default values were selected from the national inventory, in case it did not exist then national sectorial information was used, if this was not
possible then the standard values for the IPCC Guidelines were used, and in case this was not possible, then any value found in the available
literature.

Related NAMAs
CPAs may be related with all sectorial NAMAs accounting for reductions achieved by companies participating in both mitigation actions. Without prejudice to
the foregoing, to date there has not been any case in which this effectively happens. The reason for the latter may be the low amount of companies considered in
the report, but also the lack of a record allowing to identify these cases.

Due to the fact that one of the companies involved declined the verification visit, the guild acted as an intermediary, and finally a correction
to the data was made.
48
Because in both cases the original data were incorrect, reductions were overestimated in more than a million tCO2e, this is the main reason
for the decision that from this report atypical results will be excluded from the official result.
