UNDP and Climate Change Adaptation
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at risk.
UNDP’s goal: to align human development and climate change risk
management efforts
Integrate climate change risks into national planning and poverty reduction
UN system-wide support at the national level (UN Country Teams)
Leveraging UNDP’s core practices, democratic governance, poverty reduction,
disaster risk management & prevention, and environment and energy (cross
cutting)
UNDP takes a capacity development approach, while also incorporating crosscutting themes such as gender and financing

UNDP’s Strategy Plan 2008-2011 adopted as programming core:
‘the promotion of adaptation to climate change’
UNDP’s Climate Change Strategy’s GOAL has 4 pillars:
1
2
Support the design of integrated
climate change policies,
strategies and quantified actions
plans
Promote early adaptation
actions and long-term adaptive
capacity of developing countries
3
Attract and drive direct private
4
and public investment towards
lower carbon technologies and
sustainable land use practices
Integrate climate change into UN
and UNDP development
assistance at the global,
regional and national levels

UNDP Niche in Programming on Adaptation
1. Institutional
frameworks on
climate change
risks/opportunities
in place
2. Climate-resilient
policies/measures
implemented
3. Financing
options to meet
national
adaptation costs
expanded
4. Knowledge on
how to incorporate
climate change
risks/opportunities
shared
• Institutional
systems
• Planning & Policy
development
• Pre-investment
studies
• Communities of
Practice
• Cross-sectoral

UNDP/GEF Adaptation Learning Mechanism
knowledge-sharing platform on integrating adaptation into
climate change into development planning
Provide practical guidance and tools to meet stakeholders’
needs
Outcomes
1. Adaptation practices – what can be done to adapt to
climate change on the ground?
2. Integration of climate change risks and adaptation into
development policy, planning and operations – how can
policies and plans support adaptation over time?
3. Capacity building – how can people be better assisted in
becoming equipped for adapting to climate change?
