ICLEI – ACCCRN Process
Opportunity for Project Identification
ICLEI ACCCRN
The project aims to:
• Distil the critical successful elements of original ACCCRN processes and
supplement it with other relevant and proven approaches
• Develop a Guide and Toolkit to help cities develop local climate change
resilience strategies
• Test the toolkit in three project cities – Shimla, Bhubaneswar, Mysore
A streamlined and replicable process that cities can implement without the
need for much external support
Framework for building urban climate change
resilience
1. How does
the city work
Urban poverty
reduction
Urban Systems
Urban climate
change risk
2. What are the direct
and indirect impacts of
climate change
Indirect impact
Direct impact
Vulnerability
Climate
Change
Direct impact
Disaster risk reduction
3. Who is least able to respond
to shocks and stresses
•
•
•
•
What are the projected Climate Change trends?
Who are the most vulnerable?
How does the city function?
Need to consider all three components to effectively build urban resilience

Benefits to Cities
from ICLEI ACCCRN Process
Awareness
generation about
potential risks and
city’s vulnerability
Better management of
climate change impacts
Knowledge exchange
with other cities and
technical partners
Development of
Climate Resilience
strategy
Integrating the
resilience strategy into
urban planning
12
months!!
ICLEI ACCCRN Process
•
A set of 16 tools
developed
•
Adapted the Urban
Climate Resilience
Planning Framework
(ISET et al)
•
Tested in 3 cities
•
Process reviewed and
refined
•
Being upscaled to
approx 40 cities in 4
countries
ICLEI ACCCRN Process
Political commitment
Institutional set up
Identification of
perceived threats, past
practices & opportunities
Communication
Assessing projected
climate trends
Identifying existing fragile
urban systems
Expected impacts of
climate projections on
fragile systems
Prioritization based on risk
assessment
Corresponding resilience
actions identified
Actions prioritized based
on resilience indicators
& feasibility criteria
For each impact,
identification of:
- Vulnerable areas
- Vulnerable social groups

ICLEI ACCCRN Process:
Project Preparation:
Vulnerability Assessment
and identification of
resilience actions
Pre-feasibility studies
preparation of detailed
project reports
Financing:
Linkages to national schemes
and other potential donors &
defining appropriate
mechanisms
• Process of initial identification of resilience actions important
for credibility
• Addresses current as well as anticipated challenges
• Creates opportunities for innovative approaches to project
design to access funding
Learning…
• Building local capacities and institutional set up for undertaking bottom-up
processes for creating demand and attracting donors
• Multi-stakeholder engagement:
Understanding the ‘stakes’
Creating social capital
Managing trade-offs
• All ‘hard measures’ not necessarily explicitly adaptation measures: funding
opportunities most often exist
• Start with focus of ‘soft measures’
• Political support: ‘greases the wheels’
