Transcript UNDP's mitigation strategy in Africa

Low-Carbon and Climate Resilient
Development Strategies
The Territorial Approach to
Climate Change
(TACC) Strategy
III World Summit of Regions
Montevideo, Uruguay
21 April 2010
TACC Background
TACC as a global action came into existence with the recognition by
sub-national authorities that urgent and collective action was
needed to be taken to respond appropriately to climate change
- Saint Malo Declaration, October 2008
United Nations Environment Programme
UNDP recognizes that :
• over between 50-80% of GHG emissions are influenced by local
behaviours and investment choices
• virtually all adaptation actions have to be tailored to local
circumstances.
1
TACC Overall Objective
Increased resilience to Climate Change impacts and
reduced carbon footprint in regions in developing
countries and countries with economies in transition
United Nations Environment Programme
achieved through
Awareness Raising
and
development of Integrated Territorial
Climate Plans
2
Territorial Approach: Targets Regional Government Authorities (RGAs)
• Understand CC and related risks and opportunities at sub-national
level
• Empower RGAs to identify and prioritize risks/opportunities related
to CC M&A
• Enable RGAs to scale up CC M&A actions from local to regional
level
United Nations Environment Programme
• Provide CC planning interface between rural and urban areas
• Deliver an integrated territorial climate plan (ITCP) developed
through a multi-stakeholder participatory process
• Catalyze investment/capital through the Integrated Territorial
Climate Plan (ITCP)

How the TACC is structured
TACC is about partnering at all levels
TACC is a global partnership spearheaded by
UNDP and UNEP
United Nations Environment Programme
in collaboration with UNITAR and UN-Habitat

ITCP Development: 2 Years
Project Duration: 5 Years
United Nations Environment Programme

UNDP’s role
In charge of the overall programme management, UNDP provides:
• Technical assistance to develop climate change investment and
policy roadmaps, based on its 15 years of worldwide experience in
the implementation of adaptation and mitigation projects as well as
United Nations Environment Programme
in delivering environmental finance services
• Operational management in the field through its network of 166
country offices
• Mobilization of funds and partnership management
• Financial and a administrative management
6
UNEP’s role
As the UN designated entity for addressing environmental issues, UNEP
has more than 30 years of experience providing leadership and
encouraging partnership in caring for the environment.
Within the TACC programme UNEP has the lead responsibility for:
• Organizing awareness raising workshops for groupings of sub-national
United Nations Environment Programme
authorities on five continents
• Compilation of good practices on climate change adaptation and
mitigation at the sub-national level
• Assessing training and information needs of sub-national
authorities in the context of TACC Phase 1
• Creation of an interactive web-based portal in support of sub-national
authorities
7
UNEP: Phase I Workshops
The objectives of the awareness raising workshops are:
• Take stock and review international policy developments in the area of
•
•
•
•
climate change from a sub-national perspective
Raise awareness and facilitate knowledge sharing concerning climate
change action and fostering a green economy at the sub-national level
United
Nations Environment Programme
Share knowledge and tools relevant for
strengthening
climate change
science, adaptation, mitigation, financing, and capacity development
at the sub-national level
Catalyze interest in developing an Integrated Territorial Climate Plan
(ITCP) and provide guidance for developing it through multi-sectoral
and multi-stakeholder collaboration and within a multi-level
governance framework
Explore opportunities for sustained knowledge-sharing and capacity
development for sustained sub-national climate change action
8
UNEP: Web-based Portal
Based on existing platforms, networks and resources,
provide access to:
Climate change tools
and methodologies
relevant to subnational authorities
Good practices in climate
change
Opportunities for NorthSouth and South-South
interaction
United Nations Environment Programme
Adaptation
Mitigation
Networking amongst subnational authorities within
and between countries

UNDP: Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP)
• UNDP will assist sub-national authorities in at least 10 and up to 50 regions in
developing countries to undertake a Climate Profile and to develop Integrated
Territorial Climate Plans (ITCP) to:
• identify and prioritise mitigation and adaptation initiatives based on an
assessment of physical and economic climate change impacts,
• Identify no-regret/negative costs options.
United Nations Environment Programme
• Enhance energy access and the creation of new economic activities through
the development of clean production and consumption options at the local
level
• "climate proof" existing investments and activities
• Reduce local vulnerability to climate variability and change
• Identify possible policy and financing instruments to implement priority climate
change measures.
10
UNDP: Technical support
Sub-regions and countries engaging in a TACC process will receive
dedicated and targeted technical support from UNDP / CLIMSAT
•
Support for physical and socio-economic assessments, design of regional
climate change strategies, action plans and related products
•
Climate change impact and vulnerability mapping
United Nations Environment Programme
• Provision of satellite imagery and models to support physical and economic
climate change impact assessments and scenarios
• Training and skills development programmes
• In close partnership with the Association of Regions, develop knowledge tools
and methodologies for the preparation of Integrated Territorial Climate Plans
