Project Background

Since the creation of the ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC), ASEAN Member States (AMS) have made notable progress in climate action, focusing on CO2 emissions. This represents 60-70% of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in ASEAN. Efforts have centered around building capacity, developing policies, mobilizing climate finance, and implementing adaptation and mitigation projects in line with their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. However, there is increasing recognition that reducing CO2 alone, at the current rate, will not meet the 2°C target. Policymakers are now shifting focus to other potent GHGs, particularly methane, which has a global warming potential (GWP) 27.9 times higher than CO2 over 100 years. 

The Global Methane Pledge launched at COP26 has sparked efforts to scale up methane mitigation globally. Methane concentrations have increased significantly since 2014, with a 162% rise above pre-industrial levels by 2021, threatening CO2 reduction progress. 

In September 2023, the Republic of Korea (ROK) launched the Partnership for ASEAN-ROK Methane Action (PARMA), a regional initiative to scale methane reduction efforts. PARMA focuses on matching ASEAN entities with Korean solution providers and building capacity through training and knowledge sharing. The initiative, supported by the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF), aligns with ASEAN’s broader goals and will serve as a foundation for future methane-related projects. 

The project aims to contribute to reducing methane emissions in ASEAN countries by establishing a strong institutional, technical, and financial foundation for large-scale methane reduction. This will be achieved through a comprehensive set of activities, including methane measurements, regional guidelines and cooperation promotion, and support for methane reduction projects. 

Against this backdrop, the project focuses on the following four areas: 

1. Developing enabling policies and institutions by (i) supporting the drafting of ASEAN Methane Reduction Roadmap, (ii) supporting the drafting of Methane Reduction Plans, (iii) establishing and operationalizing Methane Reduction Committees, and (iv) designing and implementing a Methane Reduction Capacity Building Program. 
2. Improving measurement of methane emissions by (i) analyzing gaps in methane emissions inventory, (ii) improving methane emission measurements for priority sector(s), (iii) supporting MRV requirements under the Enhanced Transparency Framework.
3. Designing, financing, and implementing methane emission reduction projects by (i) shortlisting methane reduction projects from project developers in ASEAN countries, (ii) conducting feasibility studies and selecting project(s) to be financed and implemented, (iii) implementing methane reduction project(s).
4. Promoting regional dialogue and partnership by establishing an ASEAN knowledge platform for methane reduction. 

The main outcome of this project is to establish a strong institutional, technical, and financial foundation for the reduction of methane emissions at scale, thereby contributing to the vision of a sustainable ASEAN community that balances social development and environmental protection. 

Objective of the Assignment

appropriate waste treatment solutions. In addition, the Government of Indonesia has expressed interest in learning from methane mitigation initiatives and good practices in other sectors, particularly agriculture and energy, to broaden technical knowledge, explore potential cross-sector approaches, and identify opportunities for replication and adaptation in the national context. 

Effective implementation of the project requires regular coordination and engagement with relevant government institutions, local governments, technical experts, waste management operators, and other stakeholders. This includes organizing field visits to demonstrate methane mitigation practices and strengthen stakeholders' capacity in methane mitigation project planning and management, as well as facilitating focused discussions on the development and implementation of pilot projects in the waste sector.
