LDCF/SCCF Climate Change
Adaptation Strategy
GEF Familiarization Seminar
January 17 – 19, 2012
Bonizella Biagini, Head, Climate Change Adaptation
Strategy and Operations, Global Environment Facility
LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillars
• Responsiveness to UNFCCC
guidance
• Responsiveness to vulnerable
developing country needs
• Moving to the next stage of LDCF
and SCCF funding – a programmatic
approach
• Responsiveness to Independent
Evaluations of the LDCF and SCCF
• Complementarily among different
adaptation-related funds
LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillars
• LDCF and SCCF Strategy focuses on
financing adaptation
• An increase in adaptation funding, in
order to support the increase in
volume and scale of intervention –
e.g. programmatic approach
• An increase in the predictability of the
funding, in order to better facilitate
medium-term planning
• Channeling GEF-managed adaptation
financing resources through LDCF and
SCCF – GEF-5 strategy does not
include adaptation.
LDCF and SCCF Strategic Objectives
1.
Reduce vulnerability to the adverse
impacts of climate change – e.g.
reduced risks to economic losses
through implementation of adaptation
measures
2.
Increase adaptive capacity to respond
to the impacts of climate change – e.g.
within relevant development sectors
and natural resources; diversified and
strengthened livelihoods and sources
of income
3.
Promote transfer and adoption of
adaptation technologies – as defined
under the Climate Convention
(example: SCCF-TT Jordan)
LDCF/SCCF Adaptation Strategy 2010-2014
• Goal: To support developing
countries to increase
resilience to climate change
through both immediate and
longer-term adaptation
measures in development
policies, plans, programs,
projects and actions.
• Impact: Reduce absolute
losses due to climate change,
including variability.

LDCF and SCCF – Financing Concrete
Adaptation
• LDCF and SCCF – Focus on adaptation
• Managed and administered independently of from the GEF Trust
Fund
• Total Pledges : Approximately $772 M
– LDCF: $531.7M
– SCCF: $240.6M
• Approved Projects and Funding
– LDCF: 54 projects, $216 M
– SCCF: 43 projects, $166 M
– 48 National Adaptation Programs of Action financed (for LDCs) $12 M
As of December 30, 2011

Features of LDCF/SCCF
Pioneering Activities in Priority Sectors and
Areas of Intervention: LDCF
Food Security and Agriculture  drought resistant crop, farming techniques
Water Resources Management  resilient water infrastructure, rainwater
harvesting, micro surface and ground water treatment facilities
Disaster Risk Management  Integrated disaster risk management
strategies, glacial lake outburst floods hazard management
Community Based Adaptation  forest management, mangrove restoration,
alternative livelihoods, strengthened animal health systems
Natural Resources Management  efficient wood management, ecotourism,
fishing around mangroves, renewable energy use
Health  climate change challenges incorporated into health programs, use
of medicinal plants to treat diseases
Infrastructure  critical infrastructure
LDCF Status
• 47 NAPAs completed
• 42 countries have at least one NAPA implementation
project
• 54 total projects and programs approved
• 1 regional programmatic approach
• Total grant approved $216 million (Dec 2011)
NAPA Priorities and LDCF Funding
LDCF Around the World
Africa:
63% of the total LDCF Funding
27 Projects
24 Countries
Asia:
33% of the total LDCF
Funding
12 Projects
9 Countries
SIDs:
20% of the total LDCF Funding
15 Projects
10 Countries
Pioneering Activities in Priority Sectors and
Areas of Intervention: SCCF
Water Resources Management drainage and water-saving technologies,
increased reservoir capacity through energy efficiency of turbines
Agriculture/Land Management  drip irrigation, drought and salinity resistant
crop varieties
Infrastructure Development infrastructure for alternative water sources, e.g.
climate resilient roads and harbors
Fragile Ecosystems  repopulation of coral reefs, buffer zones and biological
corridors between vulnerable wetlands
Integrated Coastal Zone Management beach reinforcement and nourishment,
protection structures (e.g. jetties, groins, breakwaters)
Health  heat-wave warning systems, surveillance and response for malaria
epidemics
Disaster Risk Management  early warning systems
Cross Cutting Issues  information sharing systems to monitor crop choices and
contingency crop plans, and pest and disease severity
SCCF Status
• By the end of Dec 2011, the SCCF adaptation
program (SCCF-A) had mobilized $150 million for
projects and programs in non-Annex I countries.
• 39 projects have been approved for SCCF-A
funding, leveraging $1.03 billion in co-financing.
• SCCF-B has mobilized $16 M in 4 technology
transfer projects
Distribution of SCCF Funding
Geographic Distribution of the
SCCF-A Funds
Newer Grounds
• Scaling up and maximizing impacts
– Programmatic Approaches
– Responds to both donors and recipient demand
– New procedures under the GEF-5 makes it possible
• Building synergies and leveraging funds
– GEF’s conventional operations under the GEF Trust
Fund
– Multi Focal and Multi Trust Fund Initiatives
Multi-Trust Fund and Programmatic
Approaches
A number of LDCF/SCCF programs and projects have
mainstreamed adaptation into:
•

Natural Resource Management
Mitigation efforts

Opportunities
• Modalities for scaling up already exist and are operational
• Funds have experience in multi trust fund projects and
programmatic approaches
• The momentum of growth and innovation in adaptation
activities can lead to fulfillment of COP guidance
• LDCF and SCCF has generated concrete adaptation benefits
and made development sectors climate resilient.
• Continuation of such efforts can make significant progress
in meeting adaptation needs of vulnerable countries.
