INTERGRATION OF ECOSYSTEM BASED ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE INTO
STRATEGIES AND POLICIES ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Towards Climate Change Resilience: Integrating Urban Biodiversity with CCA18-20 December 2013Chiang Rai, Thailand
EbAWhat for
• Adaptation
• Ecosystem based
• Making case to reduce CC
• Co-Benefits
Who for
• Global level (CCC etc.)
• Regions & Nations
• But key – people who bear the costs of climate change
How can “We”
How• Normal M&E (extractive)• Assessments (good for
others, & for action)• Studies (extractive) &
research
Who should • Focus on national,
organizations, international, research – which is all very good & important, but
• What about sub-national (districts)?, &
• What about people?
But how do we empower peoples to learn, & articulate that learning so of use to them & for others
Main contents
• Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation
• Policy framework of responding to climate
change in Viet Nam
• EbA Integration into policies of responding to
climate chance
CLIMATE CHANGE AND BIODIVERSITY
• Climate change impacts
– Increased temp., changes in
rainfall pattern, longer hot period
lead to changes of ecosystems,
habitats, and species structures
– Extreme weather events damage
sensitive ecosystem/habitats
• Biodiversity responds
– Mitigation: Absorb and storage
carbon (biodiversity degradation
and forest lost reduce carbon
storage and sequestration capacity
– Adaptation: provide foods (rice,
fish, fruits) and water for people,
protect coastal communities from
extreme weather events

Why EBA for Vietnam?
1. Addresses national context and national priorities – sustainable economic development, poverty reduction, biodiversity conservation
– Majority of population highly dependent on ecosystems
– Energy, Hydropower , tourism and agriculture major revenue generating sectors
– National Targets: focus on agriculture, water resources, coastal areas, forestry etc.
– Communities: Food security, livelihood etc.
2. EBA sustainably manages the ecosystems at mutlisectoral and mutiscale level while ensuring increased resilience against Climate Change.
Why EBA for Vietnam?
3. EBA provides a longer term, cost effective solution that accrues more net benefits than “hard” physical engineering solutions
4. Multiple benefits- soil management, water regulation, carbon sequestration, livelihood diversification opportunities
POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR EBA
• Summarizes key climate change policies underscoring the role of ecosystem-based approaches in reducing vulnerabilities.
Sector policies to Climate Change
Water
Resources
• Law on water resources
2012
• National strategy on
water resources up to
2020
Strengthening forest
protection and
development, priority focus
on watershed protection
Forestry Disaster
Dyke LawNational Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention, Response and Mitigation to 2020
Law on Forest Protection and Development 2004National Strategy for Forest Protection and Development 2011 – 2020Action Plan of REED 2011 - 2020Decree 99/2010/NĐ-CP regulating policy for payment for forest ecosystem services
Forest Protection and DevelopmentSustainable Forest ManagementREED+PFES
Plantation and Protection of Watershed as non-construction solution
Necessary for developing EbA
operational framework
• Climate change adaptation measures mentioned in legal
documents of sectors
• Mainstreaming climate change is defined in almost
policies on climate change (NTP, Action Plan)
• EbA operational framework will support for development
and implementation of EbA measures for line Ministries
and other sectors
Integrating EbA into climate change
policies/ laws
Action Plan to Response to Climate Change
Ministry of Industry and Trade
(MOIT)
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment
(MONRE)
Ministry of Agriculture and
Rural Development (MARD)
Mainstreaming of climate change in strategy, policy, planing in the sector
Opportunities for mainstreaming of EBA in CC policy
• NTP (2012 – 2015) has identified some main tasks relating to CC adaptation– Demonstration of CC adaptation in
Quang Nam, Ben Tre as pilot one for dissemination
– Promulgate of CC adaptation and mitigation in focused sectors: agriculture, forestry, land use, water resources, energy, transportation, construction, poverty reduction and social welfare
– Finalizing priority framework for responding to climate change
Opportunities for mainstreaming of EBA in CC policy
• Policy sectors
– Forest sectors: REED+ at national and local level; forest plantation and development programmes
– Disaster: Watershed plantation and protection
– Water resources:Watershed development and protection
EbA integration into policies/legislation on
climate change: ForestryNo. Sectoral Program/ Plan Opportunities for integration
1 Action Plan to response
to CC of agriculture and
rural development sector
Forecast the influence of CC to biodiversity, forest and
wetland ecosystems, and proposed adaptation
measures
Review and correction of plan, protect and develop
coastal protected forest in order to improve adaptive
capacity with climate change and sea level rise
Mainstreaming climate change and sea level rise
issues into action plan, policies, strategies and
development plans
3 Decree No. 99/2010/NĐ-
CP dated 24/09/2010 for
policy on payment for
forest ecosystem
services
Payment for forest ecosystem services

Challenges in EBA in Viet Nam
• New concepts
• Uncertainties
• Lack of strategic information of EBA, for better planning and programming
• Capacities and resources
• Incentives for communities????
• International Cooperation necessary
