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

Doing Development Differently:

Integrating climate change risks into national development plans to ensure sustainable

development

UNDP’s Mission

II. UNDP Approach

10UNDP-GEF Adaptation 10

MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hungerMDG 2: Achieve universal primary education MDG 3: Promote gender equality and empower women MDG 4: Reduce child mortalityMDG 5: Improve maternal healthMDG 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability MDG 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development

II. UNDP Approach

In support of progress toward MDGs

UNDP’s Institutional Response to Adaptation and Development

11UNDP-GEF Adaptation 11

UNDP’s Strategic Priorities (SPs)

SP3. Public HealthPublic health maintained or enhanced

SP4. Climate Change-Related Disaster Risk ManagementExposure and vulnerability to climate change-driven risks and hazards reduced

SP1. Agriculture and Food SecurityFood security and food production maintained or enhanced

SP5. Coastal DevelopmentExposure and vulnerability of population, infrastructure & economic activity reduced

SP2. Water Resources and QualityWater availability and supply maintained

II. UNDP Approach

12UNDP-GEF Adaptation 12

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

Thematic Distribution of UNDP Adaptation Projects

II. UNDP Approach

18UNDP-GEF Adaptation 18

• 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

Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Areas, Uruguay

19UNDP-GEF Adaptation 19

II. UNDP Approach

• 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

Adaptation to Climate Change through Effective Water Governance in Ecuador
