Mainstreaming climate change within project cycle
Learning objectives: o To understand how to integrate climate change
into the project cycleo To avoid maladaptation o To ensure that projects address development
needs Expected outcomes:
o Increase knowledge of mainstreaming steps within the project cycle
o Increase knowledge of mainstreaming tools
2
Why mainstream climate change at project level?
• Projects may be vulnerable to climate change (CC) directly or indirectly (exp. Floods, sea-level rise, damaging infrastructure)
• Projects may affect the vulnerability of natural and human systems to CC (case of maladaptation)
• Projects may take advantage of potential opportunities arising from CC

Project identification
Project appraisal
Project design Project implementation
Monitoring and Evaluation
Step 1: Assess potential climate risks and effects on vulnerability
Step 2: undertake in-depth climate risk assessmentsStep 3: identify adaptation optionsStep 4: Prioritise and select adaptation options
Step 5: implement projectsFor new projects: implement selected adaptation optionsFor on going projects: carry out interventions of previous stages, then implement adaptation options
Step 6: Evaluate Adaptation measures within project

Operationalisation of mainstreaming within project cycle
4
Project identification (1)
Vulnerability assessment to Climate change impacts is a function :
o Type of Infrastructure
o Project activities
o Geographical location
5
Project identification (2)
Mainstreaming steps at this stage include:
o Assessment of the vulnerability of the project to climate change impacts
• Timing and certainty of climate change impacts
o Assessment of potential of the project to increase vulnerability of natural and human systems to climate change
6
Project Appraisal and project design
In depth climate risk assessmentso Standard risk assessment toolso computer-based tool (exp. ADAPT, World Bank)
Identification of adaptation or mitigation options o Description of the measureo Estimated costs of the measureo Estimated benefits of the measureo Feasibility of the measure
Prioritising and selecting adaptation and mitigation optionso Cost benefit analysis (CBA)o Multi-criteria Analysis (MCA)o Cost –effectiveness analysis (CEA)o Expert judgement

o Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)/inter-cooperation Community-based Risk Screening Tool-Adaptation and livelihoods (CRiSTAL): assess impacts on livelihood resources important for climate adaptation
o United States Agency for International Development (USAID) SERVIR-Viz climate mapper : tool for environmental decision-making
o World Bank change portal, including ADAPT Tools: wide range of data on climate 8
Project Implementation (1)
Project Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring of the implementation of the identified actions o level of implementation, unexpected problems during the
implementation process, impacts on other sectors or regions, actual costs versus anticipated costs
Monitoring of the progress and successo Intended benefits, adverse outcomes not anticipated
Monitoring the evolution of baseline climate conditions over the lifetime of the project
This implies use of indicators10
Learnt lessons and Challenges
Harmonisation of tools and instruments for screening across donors
Climate risk assessment tools to be tested or implemented in a wide range of contexts
Limited availability and reliability of projections of future climate
o lack of reliable climate projections osignificant uncertainties associated with many climate
variables

Discussion
Questions and Answers Mainstreaming climate change within project
cycle
What are the opportunities for mainstreaming climate change within
project cycle in your sector or at your level and what are the institutional and capacity
needs in your organisation to do so?
13
Presentation of case studies
Presentations of case studies and best practices
14
Learning process exercise: Working group
Exercise: Select one project and proceed to the assessment of this project and propose how to mainstream CC into this project.

Recap – Key messages
Relevant questions to consider: o Are the objectives of the project and/or specific activities
threatened by climate change?o Could the project’s objectives and/or activities benefit from climate
changeo What may be the influence of the project on the vulnerability of
relevant natural or human systemso How can project activities leading to reduced vulnerability, i.e.
greater adaptive capacity or reduced sensitivity or reduced exposure, be maximised?
o Which activities need to be modified to avoid an increase in vulnerability?
o Which additional activities are required to avoid adverse impacts of climate change on the project?
