Poverty Reduction and Adaptation to Climate Change Synergies and Contradiction
Reinhard Wolf GTZ
Climate Protection Programme for Developing Countries (CaPP)
CaPP
Poverty reduction as overarching task of German
development policy derived from the shared goals of the
international community Millennium Declaration and the eight
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Program of Action 2015 Germanys strategy
paper Definition of poverty (not solely by low
income)
CaPP
Negative impacts of climate change
are more severely feltby poor people and poor
countries Deaths from droughts and related
famines

There are clear synergies between successful climate change adaptation and poverty reduction
CaPP
GTZ approach mainstreaming

bull Initiation of (small) pilot projects which are integrated into ongoing large scale development programmes
ndash India Tunesia and Benin on Watershed Management Agriculture combat desertification
ndash Mozambique and Nicaragua Desaster Risk Management Early warning systems
CaPP
Possible contradictions
bull construction of unappropriate dams to prevent floods or protect coastal areas
bull Maladaptation introduction of drought resistant crop varieties which are however also prone to diseases
bull introduction of shrimp farming for income generation for which mangrove forest vital for coastal protection are destroyed
CaPP
Outlook and open questions
bull uncertainties with regard to regional trends of climate change uncertainties with regard to cost ndash benefit of climate change interventions
bull For successful bdquomainstreamingldquo of adaptation bdquorealldquo additional funds are required
