GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10610 Global Environment Facility To accelerate low-carbon e-mobility adoption to reduce emissions in tourism sector in Albania. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Socio-economic benefits: The project will have multiple socio-economic benefits at the national and local levels. At national level, the shift to electric vehicles will decrease Albania's dependency on imported gasoline and has a significant potential in reducing national deficit and supporting economic development. The project will enhance and promote the access for both women and men to safer, cleaner, and more efficient transport, thereby support economic development by minimizing travel time and reliability of transport modes. The benefits at economic growth will be in improved energy efficiency in energy, employment prosperity and more competitive market. At local level, the project will help create additional jobs and income opportunities through developing technical skills and enable business environment in the emerging sector of e-mobility and thus eventually improve the livelihoods. Cutting CO2 emissions in tourism mobility is by far the key factor in creating a more sustainable form of tourism.[1] Touristic municipalities should comply with the trends such as sustainable tourism to remain an attractive destination for visitors. For instance, a success story/good practice model that Albanian cities can follow is the case of Slovenia, which confirms its leading role among tourist destinations[2]. Slovenia received the Best of Europe 2020 Award[3] in the field of sustainability, for its sustainable tourism management practices and for involving local communities in tourism activities, while successfully managing the challenges posed by tourist growth trends. The project will increase the awareness of the municipalities and the private tourism enterprises on future-proofing their tourism related income considering increasing sensitivity of the tourists on their emission footprints. Health benefits: Besides contribution to climate action, improving the national and local air quality is a critical benefit that will be gained through adoption of EVs. Replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with EVs will directly improve the local air quality in urban areas by removing tailpipe emissions of CO2, CO, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). In addition, the shift to e-mobility can reduce noise pollution since EVs have very quiet electric motors compared to ICE vehicles. Numerous studies have linked noise pollution to increased anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Mitigating harmful emissions and noise pollution will improve the public health (e.g., reduce the lost life years caused by the respiratory diseases linked to breathing polluted air) and well-being.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The project will assist and benefit Albania by: - Strengthening administrative capacities for mainstreaming biodiversity conservation into planning and accounting the climate impacts and adaptive capacities; - Strengthening the conservation of biodiversity within the area of newly established PA Albanian Alps; - Increasing sustainable financing of the Albanian Alps NP - Strengthening capacities to asses ecosystem services and use it as a tool for decision making - Supporting the scale up lessons learned national-wide Project design assumed environmental and economic benefits arising through physical investment, development of new strategies, capacity building, awareness raising and training. The project will also support activities to assist communities in and around PAs in understanding and developing sustainable and alternative revenue generation. Through the strengthened management of AANP and stakeholder capacity enhancement activities, the project will generate significant mutual economic and environmental benefits to the livelihoods and communities by: (i) creating the opportunities for increased income generating jobs through better utilization of non-timber values of forests, particularly from tourism and recreation, non-timber forest product collection, and sustainable commercial game management; (ii) securing conservation of biodiversity in internationally-important ecosystems; and (iii) conservation and improved management of globally-significant endemic biodiversity and landscape values of critical ecosystems.Global Environment Facility UNEP The Ministry of Tourism and Environment CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Albania +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Site preservation]]+ 470396.00 470396.00 470396.00 397750 UNEP The Ministry of Tourism and Environment 255148 UNEP The Ministry of Tourism and Environment 1411188 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10928 Global Environment Facility To position the development of the tourism industry in Albania as a positive influence on the status of biodiversity in coastal Key Biodiversity Areas, and as pillar of sustainable livelihoods, through mainstreaming biodiversity in tourism planning and development Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The socioeconomic and local benefits generated through the project are described in Section III of the Prodoc, sub-section on “Socio-economic and Local Benefits”, (p. 38). Beneficiaries are also included in the discussion on project stakeholders in the same section of the Prodoc, and in Annex 9 of the Prodoc, the Stakeholder Engagement Plan. The project is expected to have a minimum of 300 direct beneficiaries, which will primarily be project participants from various stakeholder organizations and institutions responsible for sustainable tourism development, and the management of natural resources along Albania’s coast, as well as private sector participants from small and medium tourism enterprises. For example, under Output 1.4 it is estimated that the project will have a minimum of 20 direct beneficiaries from the training program on biodiversity-friendly tourism policy and development. An additional 10 direct beneficiaries are anticipated in relation to the training program for environmental inspectors under Output 2.2. The project would also have 20 direct beneficiaries from the Green Tourism Investor Fair foreseen under Output 2.1. Under Output 2.3, the project would have approximately 25-30 direct beneficiaries from the project activities related to the promotion and marketing development of biodiversity-friendly tourism products and services. The project would also have more than 100 direct beneficiaries from all knowledge sharing activities under Component 3. Based on an analysis of all project activities, it was estimated that there would be a minimum of approximately 100 direct beneficiaries for each of the three project components. Support for sustainable local livelihoods in the tourism sector (particularly under Component 2) is a key part of the project’s strategy, and critical for the general of GEBs. The tourism sector along Albania’s coast continues to grow, and demonstrating that biodiversity-friendly tourism can generate local economic benefits is necessary to ensure that the tourism sector continues to develop in a sustainable manner. This will be tracked through indicator 1 of the project Strategic Results Framework, including gender disaggregated reporting. The type and number of beneficiaries will be analyzed as part of the project’s aggregation of results data for regular reporting under the annual PIR.
