I. Funds for Adaptation • UNDP Approach • Support to Countries for Adaptation Projects
I. Funds for Adaptation • UNDP Approach • Support to Countries for Adaptation Projects
I. Adaptation Funds Three Adaptation Funds Focus on Development
I. Adaptation Funds Adaptation Funds • Adaptation funds cover the additional costs necessary for countries to achieve development goals in the face of climate change. Sliding scale can be used. • SCCF: Does not need to address GEBs, focus on longer term measures and planning • LCDF: Does not need to address GEBs, open to LDCs only, driven by national development priorities, focus on shorter term measures • SPA: Must address global environmental benefits (GEBs) as well as adaptation to climate change
Status of AdaptationFunds I. Adaptation Funds 200 Available Allocated 150 100 USD millions 50 0 LDCF SCCF SPA Total • Current Status of Adaptation Funds: • funds available and allocated
I. Funds for Adaptation • UNDP Approach • Support to Countries for Adaptation Projects
II. UNDP Approach UNDP’s Mission • Doing Development Differently: • Integrating climate change risks into national development plans to ensure sustainable development
II. UNDP Approach UNDP’s Institutional Response to Adaptation and Development In support of progress toward MDGs • MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger • MDG 2: Achieve universal primary education • MDG 3: Promote gender equality and empower women • MDG 4: Reduce child mortality • MDG 5: Improve maternal health • MDG 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases • MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability • MDG 8:Develop a Global Partnership for Development
SP1. Agriculture and Food Security • Food security and food production maintained or enhanced • SP2. Water Resources and Quality • Water availability and supply maintained • SP3. Public Health • Public health maintained or enhanced • SP4. Climate Change-Related Disaster Risk Management • Exposure and vulnerability to climate change-driven risks and • hazards reduced • SP5. Coastal Development • Exposure and vulnerability of population, infrastructure & • economic activity reduced II. UNDP Approach UNDP’s Strategic Priorities (SPs)
II. UNDP Approach UNDP’s Institutional Response to Adaptation and Development • UNDP’s focus • Adaptation to climate variability (short- to medium- term) • Adaptation to projected climate change (long-term) • Adaptation measures to ensure sustainability of adaptation through support for policy, governance, planning and capacity building
II. UNDP Approach UNDP’s Institutional Response to Adaptation and Development • Adaptation options in Agriculture/Food Security
II. UNDP Approach Four Phases of UNDP’s Strategy Phase IV: Implementation 2012 Phase IB: Learning & Dissemination 2010 Phase III: National Assessments 2008 Phase II: Regional Assessments 2006 Phase IA: Methods Development 2004 2002 Activities
II. UNDP Approach Two Types of UNDP-GEF Projects • Demonstration and pilot projects • Enabling activities • Second National Communications (~100 countries) • NAPAs (supporting 29 LDCs)
II. UNDP Approach UNDP-GEF Adaptation Portfolio FSP/MSP projects underway in 43 countries
II. UNDP Approach Thematic Distribution of UNDP Adaptation Projects
II. UNDP Approach Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Areas, Uruguay • SPA – International Waters • $975,000 in GEF funds • Status: PDF-A approved • Goal: Reduce climate related risks for coastal wetlands and activities related to their sustainable use • Example MSP Outcomes: • Capacity for planning, stakeholder engagement, implementation, and M&E of adaptation measures to address sustainable development of coastal areas enhanced • Timely information on changes in climate, runoff and river discharges, coastal morphology and wetland ecosystem health made available in user-friendly format to decision-makers at the national and local levels
II. UNDP Approach Adaptation to Climate Change through Effective Water Governance in Ecuador • SCCF – Adapting • planning and policies • $3 million in GEF funds, $6 million co-financing • Status: PDF-B approved • Outcomes: • Policy environment and governance structure for effective water management strengthened • Information and knowledge management on climate risks in Ecuador improved • Sustainable water and water-related risk management practices to withstand the effects of climate change applied

III. Adaptation Projects UNDP Project Development Approach Country-driven: Responding to assessments NC and NAPA priorities Climate-Related Hazards Fit with Country Office, UNDAF ADAPTATION PROPOSALS Scientific Basis: Identifying Risk Vulnera-bility Data Policy Dialogue Fit with Strategic Priorities & Targets Strategic, Context-based
NC and NAPA priorities Climate-Related Hazards Fit with Country Office, UNDAF ADAPTATION PROPOSALS Vulnerability Data Policy Dialogue Fit with Strategic Priorities & Targets III. Adaptation Projects • Project Proposal Key Elements (I) • ‘Baseline’ development and country priorities clear • National Communications, NAPAs • PRSP, Development priorities • CCF, UNDAF, CPD, CPAP… • Climate change data, potential impacts established • Near- and long-term • Exposure and vulnerabilityof target system described • As baseline and to identify ways to minimize exposure and reduce vulnerability
NC and NAPA priorities Climate-Related Hazards Fit with Country Office, UNDAF ADAPTATION PROPOSALS Vulnerability Data Policy Dialogue Fit with Strategic Priorities & Targets III. Adaptation Projects • Project Proposal Key Elements (II) • ‘Additional’ or adapted measures and policies proposed • Must address the climate risk to development • Measures aligned with strategic priorities and funds • See adaptation website (www.undp.org/gef/adaptation) • Policy dialogue initiated • Co-financing secured (SCCF, LDCF)
III. Adaptation Projects The Adaptation Policy Frameworks (APF) • Guidance on adaptation project development, implementation • Technical Papers • Scoping and design • Stakeholder engagement • Vulnerability assessment • Assessment of future climate risks • Assessment of socio-economic conditions • Assessing and enhancing adaptive capacity • Formulation of adaptation strategies • Continuing the adaptation process • Guidebook takes readers through five • project stages from start to finish
Objective • Ensure climate change driven focus • Identify area/sector • Identify approach • Initial indicator identification 1. Scope project 1. Scope project 2. Assess current vulnerability 2. Assess current vulnerability 3. Characterize future climate-related risks • Baseline analysis • Detailed characterization of current climate conditions (e.g. exposure) • Bio-physical and socio-economic impacts of current climate variability • Identification of critical thresholds Engagestakeholders Increase adaptive capacity 4. Develop adaptation strategies/measures 5. Continue adaptation process III. Adaptation Projects APF for Project Development APF Project Brief
Future climate (GEF alternative) • Climate scenarios/projections • Characterization of future socioeconomic conditions • Expected/potential impacts • Risk analysis • Robustness of management options 1. Scope project 2. Assess current vulnerability • Project activities • Specific adaptation outputs and supporting activities • Additionality cf existing baseline • Adaptation responses at appropriate timescales • Climate change screening criteria • Indicators appropriate to outputs • Flexible project structure 3. Characterize future climate-related risks 3. Characterize future climate risks Engagestakeholders Increase adaptive capacity 4. Develop adaptation strategy 4. Develop adaptation strategies/measures 5. Continue adaptation process • Learning component • Review, evaluate • Identify lessons learned • Feed results into ALM 5. Continue adaptation process III. Adaptation Projects Project Brief APF
III. Adaptation Projects Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) • Establish a knowledge base for adaptation • Review adaptation portfolios and projects • Identify gaps in knowledge, practice • Respond to gaps in knowledge • Identify good practice • Learning and knowledge sharing
