Adaptation Agenda
• Adaptation and Mitigation are strong complements
• Climate change impacts on developing countries are expected
to increase regardless of mitigation efforts
• Demand for infrastructure and agricultural/water investments
that further need to adapt to climate
• Adaptation links global environment issues with local
development paths
• Development investment is at risk in the absence of
consideration of climate variability and climate change issues
• The Multilateral financial institutions can effectively link the
lending and adaptation agenda to produce synergies
• Expected growth of adaptation agenda within UNFCCC
• Need to strengthen national and local institutions to promote
adaptation
• Need for long-term funding arrangements to support adaptation
agenda
Adaptation and Development as part of
World Bank Poverty Agenda
• According to OECD Study, 20% to 50% of ODA is subject to
climate risk
• Whatever the mitigation efforts, we are already committed to
significant climate change
• Current climate variability and climate change are significant
threats to development
Climate disasters are
already a major burden
for developing
countries

World Bank’s Implementation of
Adaptation Agenda
• Mainstreaming adaptation initiatives in country assistance strategies
• Financing and technical support to adaptation programs outlined in
poverty reduction strategies
• Adaptation is a major consideration in development policy lending and
sector wide adjustment programs
• Anticipatory adaptation is a major component of World Bank Hazard
Management Program
• Bank support to private sector development, microfinance, insurance, and
small and medium enterprises to promote adaptation at local level
• Engagement of line ministries at the policy level to promote adaptation
agenda
• Analytical activities supporting adaptation in Bank policy and lending
programs
World Bank Experience in Global Funds
that Complement Adaptation Fund
• More than 30 years experience in managing trust funds on global programs
• Currently manages over 850 trust funds valued at over $9 billion yearly
covering all major sectors with over 25 which Adaptation Fund overlaps

Kiribati Adaptation Program (SPA funded)
Columbia’s Caribbean Insular Human Health (SPA funded)
Pilot Adaptation in Coastal areas of Dominica, St. Lucia
(SPA funded)
Sustainable land management in Zambezi valley (pipeline)
(SPA funded)
• Pilot Climate Change Adaptation Measures in Andean
Region (SCCF funded)
• Caribbean Mainstreaming Adaptation to Climate Change
(Stage II Adaptation funding)
• Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Global Climate Change
(Stage II Adaptation funding)
Multi-sector Approach - Kiribati Adaptation Project
Agriculture
• Crop improvement programs to
promote improved adaptation of
cassava, yam, taro, sugarcane
• Support to agricultural and rural
development programs
• Improving climate forecasting
mechanisms
Fisheries
Public Health
• Improved sanitation
• Management of solid and liquid
waste
• Vector control programs for
dengue fever
• Monitoring of areas prone to
ciguatera outbreaks
Coastal Assets
• Hazard mapping done to avoid
infrastructure in flood and landslide
prone areas
• Regional collaboration in tuna
negotiations
• Elevation of coastal infrastructure
• El Nino/La Nina forecasting
• Introduction of building codes
• Licensing arrangements to decrease
year-to-year fluctuations
• Protection of coral reefs
• Replanting of mangroves
Conclusions
• GEF management of AF with other Funds (GEF TF/SCCF/ LCDF)
avoids additional costs and time associated with standalone
administration of Adaptation Fund
• Experience in managing GEF Trust Funds permits application of same
standards/oversight to Adaptation Fund
• Small and uncertain size of Adaptation Fund can be better managed
as compliment to the portfolio of GEF Trust funds
• Adaptation fund could benefit from the larger co-financing and global
program resources
• Use of existing trustee infrastructure to manage the Adaptation Fund
can result in significant cost savings, which could be ploughed back
into the fund to support more projects
