Transcript Implementation of NAPA and other adaptation project

Implementation of NAPA and
other adaptation project
World Bank
Upscaling country support to address
Climate Variability and Change
Broad realization that climate change presents a
unique and unprecedented challenge that
threatens to undermine the last century’s gains
in economic growth and poverty alleviation
… Poverty Alleviation is core of the Bank’s work
… Climate change is a Development Issue &
threaten achievements of the MDGs
Economies often highly dependent on
climate sensitive sectors
(Example of Ethiopia; Source: Ethiopia: Managing Water Resources to Maximize Sustainable Growth.
Country Water Resources Assistance Strategy, 2006.)
What is the Bank doing - Clean Energy for
Development Investment Framework and WB Group
Action Plan
3 Pillars of the Investment Framework:
1.
Energy for growth and access to energy
How can the energy needs of developing countries
be met over the long term and in an equitable and
sustainable manner?
2.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
What additional steps are needed in the energy,
transport and industrial sectors to address climate
change mitigation?
3.
Adaptation to climate change
How can developing countries adequately adapt to
changes in climate and weather variability?
Up-scaling adaptation …

Increased support to address:


Adaptation deficits
Decrease vulnerability and increase resilience
This includes increasing
 Analytical work and advisory services
 Awareness raising on economic impacts of climate
change on LDCs
 Mainstreaming of climate adaptation in CASs
 Financial resources to support adaptation and
mitigation; and disaster preparedness – e.g.
piloting insurance options
 Staff resources
 ….
How to use NAPAs collectively to best advantage
Aids to stimulate increased international support for
adaptation needs at different levels
 national and sectoral development plans and
 to address local impact of climate change
(e.g. changes in sea level rise, extreme weather
events, rainfall patterns, etc.)
 NAPA process aids in mainstreaming interventions
in development programs so that development
investments will have a better chance to achieve
desired goals
 Inform the CAS and priority setting process in the
WB for up-scaling efforts to address climate
variability and change

Status of PIFs & NAPA follow up ….
Where the Bank has been the lead agency in
preparation:
 Draft PIF for Madagascar – to support specific
priorities identified in the NAPA
 Sao Tome & Principe – in preparation; expect
to come forward this quarter
… beyond that and where NAPA has not been
lead and/or submitted PIF so far…: Bank is
important partner for countries in climate
adaptation and implementation of specific
NAPA priorities
…link with larger sector projects and programs
Adaptation & WB portfolio .. some observations


Increased demand from countries
 E.g. Madagascar (GEF co-financed): mainstream climate
risk management more effectively into economic
planning..e.g. developing regional projections of climate
change, rice-agro-climatic modeling, and setting norms
and standards for cyclone proofing…
 NAPAs are one way to highlight country priorities and
define country support strategies
Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery –
aids in integrating disaster risk in country dialogue strategies;
e.g. TA support to integrate disaster risk into country
development strategies, common country risk assessments
Piloting Climate Risk Insurance schemes –
in progress
Continued…


Need to expand available financial instruments essential
for scaling-up (GEF; recent UNFCC Adaptation Fund; Carbon
Finance; IDA replenishment …; other development of
innovative financing mechanisms in collaboration with others )
Increasing collaboration on adaptation with other MDBs
and donors – coordinated approaches to address adaptation
needs (e.g. through GFDRR – tool to assist climate and nonclimate related risk assessment to be used and shared as a
tool UN, IFIs, and donors)
Some consideration related to NAPA implementation …
Dissemination of NAPAs and NAPA priorities- should more be done? How to
increase awareness of NAPAs within countries and across agencies?
Alignment and inclusion of addressing climate change/adaptation in overall
development plans and larger sector programs – e.g. Usually reference to
PRSPs in NAPA, but how well aligned w ~; how well is adaptation considered in
PRSP? Same with other sector strategies. How to improve ?
Strategic programming of LCDF funds … Observations in some of current PIFs
and looking forward...
Comparative advantage of agencies to support PIF implementation Implementation PIFs so far mostly single agency (in terms of IAs) and mostly the
one that also was involved in preparation of NAPA - whereas based on needs the
comparative strengths and engagements of range of agencies should be built on.
>> How can this be changed? Countries well advised to take time to evaluate
options.
Other options that may work in specific cases: e.g. for larger programmatic
approaches various good examples of co-implementation in other GEF projects
e.g. in the Nile Basin …
>> Countries and agencies to collectively improve strategic use of resources in
supporting specific NAPA priorities.

Country Pilots


Focus on Africa but include examples from
other regions
To explore approaches to “climate proofing”
development projects through a series of
comparable active, development projects
What are the information needs,
institutional impediments and
opportunities, effective policies and
measures, and financial instruments?

Adapting existing physical capital in
agriculture – water nexus
Financial frameworks

State of Knowledge: Adaptation and
Development:
Provide a simple screening tool and
core climate information
Cross Sectoral Analysis

Screening for climate risk
Methods for estimating the financial
needs of achieving adequate
adaptation

TTLs and client counterparts on “how to”
mainstream adaptation across the portfolio
Advancing mainstreaming of vulnerability and climate risk
management through a range of instruments… (examples)

Country Assistance Strategies – increased systematic assessment of
vulnerability and range of programs to address it (FY07: 32 %; up form
FY06: 25 %; FY00-05: 15 %)

Support to NAPA process – client driven process that adds to this for LDC
countries
Capacity Building and Maintenance
While aiming to increase climate risk
assessment & screening tool …
 Focus on identifying capacity needs and
delivering support directly relevant to a
project
 Capacity maintenance in-country an
essential component
 Modular approach to training materials &
tools to maximize sharing; as well as
strengthening institutions and policy
frameworks
Comprehensive approaches are needed –
addressing root causes
Examples from Sustainable Land Management

Enhance farmer-participatory approach for crop breeding

Strengthen agricultural extension and outreach

Improve quality & strengthen avenues for dissemination of seasonal
climate forecasts (and other info dissemination, such as disaster
preparedness)

Expand crop insurance programs

Support efforts for non-agricultural income diversification

Promote land tenure security, and legal code reform for resource
ownership and water rights

Improve market access and develop markets for secondary agricultural
products, such as agro-forestry products and new crops


Improve knowledge management related to local and indigenous
knowledge, link between coping and adaptation, and
incentives/disincentives for stakeholder investment in soil and water
conservation technologies
