  1. Mainstreaming Adaptation Issues into German Development Assistance Delhi24 October 2001 Holger Liptow

  2. Mitigation of GHG emissions Adaptation to Climate Change

  3. Decoupling of economic growth and GHG emissions energy efficiency, renewable energy „Renewables“ (wind, solar), extensive know-how in Germany WSSD: 500 mio € for renewables 500 mio € for energy efficiency. Programme on tropical forests CDM Preparation of projects Institution building Adaptation to climate change  focus LDC Policy Orientation for Climate Protection under German ODA 3

  4. Poverty Reduction Millennium Development Goals Framework Condition • Supplemental part of German ODA • Integrated into planned and ongoing programmes and projects • On request only  ownership • Focus: capacity building –„Learning by doing 4

  5. Climate Protection Programme • Budget: 4,5 Mio. € 2001 to 2005 • Cooperation on capacity building • Mitigation of GHG emissions • CDM • Adaptation • Supra regional activities(e.g. methodological issues on CDM and adaptation) • Overriding Goal: Mainstreaming of CC issues into German ODA 5

  6. Vulnerable Sectors • Water resources • Agriculture and food supply • Terrestrial ecosystems • Coastal zones and marine ecosystems • Human settlements • Health • Insurance and finance • Observe: Regional and subregional variability of vulnerability 6

  7. Identification of Areas for Intervention on Adaptation • Take into account: • COP decisions, NAPA, PRSP, MEA etc. • Sensitising partners in developing countries and German dev. assistance • Information, relevance, win-win, overlap • Screening of relevant areasto prioritise regions and sectors 7

  8. Criteria for project and partner selection Development of pilot projects with strong stakeholder participation Implementation of adaptation activities as part of German ODA projects Pilot Projects • Publicise project results widely 8

  9. Conclusions • CaPP ready to support adaptation to climate change • The path: • Mainstreaming the issue in German ODA • Cooperate and learn internationally 10
