  1. Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) Effendy Sumardja GEF Focal Point - Ministry of Environment - Indonesia

  2. What is GEF? • An operating entity of the financial mechanism of the Conventions • Provides financing to country-driven projects consistent with guidance approved by the Conference of the Parties on policies, program priorities and eligibility. • Projects are mainly managed through its Implementing Agencies: UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank. • SCCF is among the funds operated by GEF (Decision 7/CP.7)

  3. The twinning funds Decided at CoP9 in Milan, 2003 • Decision 5/CP.9 – Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) • Decision 6/CP.9 – Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF)

  4. How the resources are provided? • Through focal areas (biodiversity, land degradation, ozone, persistent organic pollutants, and international waters) • Often have cross-cutting benefits supportive of the objectives of the UNFCCC • Through the development of human resources and institutions • Through activities supporting a range of global environmental goals including carbon sequestration.

  5. What does SCCF assist? • Risk assessment of climate change impacts on development projects • Preparatory work of adaptation measures, constituency building, awareness raising and lessons sharing • Climate-proof development lending

  6. Who will be assisted? • Most vulnerable and those with the greatest need • Climate change impacts fall most heavily on the link between adaptation and poverty reduction/ benefits for the poor • Highlighting this link could help to mobilize resources in the donor community

  7. How to propose activities? • The activities should address the challenges of adaptation • Use SCCF to finance the "adaptation additionality" of project activities; i.e., the additional costs of achieving sustainable development. • Be simple and pragmatic • Project may be based on a sliding proportional scale of co-financing

  8. SCCF and technology transfer • Financing should be used to • address the barriers to the introduction of new technologies • explore the enabling environments, institutional capacity, and availability of information

  9. In summary • SCCF should serve as a catalyst to leverage additional resources from bilateral and other multilateral sources in both the adaptation and technology transfer areas • SCCF is voluntary and that it was important to design the fund in such a way that donor interests in contributing to the fund would be enhanced
