  1. Developing Fundable Adaptation ProjectsUNDP-GEF andClimate Change Adaptation CGE Hands-on Training Workshop on Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessments for the Latin America and the Caribbean Region Asuncion, Paraguay, 14 to 18 August 2006

  2. I. Funds for Adaptation • UNDP Approach • Support to Countries for Adaptation Projects

  3. I. Funds for Adaptation • UNDP Approach • Support to Countries for Adaptation Projects

  4. I. Adaptation Funds Three Adaptation Funds Focus on Development

  5. 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

  6. I. Adaptation Funds

  7. 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

  8. I. Funds for Adaptation • UNDP Approach • Support to Countries for Adaptation Projects

  9. II. UNDP Approach UNDP’s Mission • Doing Development Differently: • Integrating climate change risks into national development plans to ensure sustainable development

  10. 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

  11. 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)

  12. 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

  13. II. UNDP Approach UNDP’s Institutional Response to Adaptation and Development • Adaptation options in Agriculture/Food Security

  14. 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

  15. II. UNDP Approach Two Types of UNDP-GEF Projects • Demonstration and pilot projects • Enabling activities • Second National Communications (~100 countries) • NAPAs (supporting 29 LDCs)

  16. II. UNDP Approach UNDP-GEF Adaptation Portfolio FSP/MSP projects underway in 43 countries

  17. II. UNDP Approach Thematic Distribution of UNDP Adaptation Projects

  18. 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

  19. 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

  20. I. Funds for Adaptation • UNDP Approach • Support to Countries for Adaptation Projects

  21. 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

  22. 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

  23. 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)

  24. 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

  25. 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

  26. 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

  27. 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
