Climate change poses serious risks to MDGs
Millennium Development Goals
Climate change risks
MDG 1
Eradicate extreme poverty and
hunger
Depleted livelihood assets, reduced
economic growth, and undermined food
security.
Achieve universal primary
education
Reduced ability of children to
participate in full-time education by
loss of infrastructure, livelihoods (forcing
children to work), and displaced families.
Promote gender equality and
empower women
Additional burdens on women's health
and time to participate in decision-making
and income-generating activities.
Reduce child mortality;
Improve maternal health;
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria
and other diseases
Greater prevalence of vector- and
water-borne diseases, heat-related
mortality. Declining food security, maternal
health and availability of potable water.
Ensure environmental
sustainability
Negatively impacted natural resources
and productive ecosystems.

Defining Adaptation
“Changing existing policies and practices and/or adopting new policies
and practices so as to secure MDGs in the face of climate change and its
associated impacts” (UNDP 2006)

UNDP’s Strategy on Adaptation
Main Focus Areas
5 5
LEG stocktaking meeting on the preparation and implementation of NAPAs.
UNDP’s Core Principles
1. Safeguard achievement of MDGs by developing adaptive capacity
2. Integrate climate risks into development policies and national investment
decisions
3. Build on disaster risk-management activities and extensive UNDP experience
and mandate
4. Leverage existing UN and UNDP programmes, including UNDP/GEFsupported National Communications and NAPAs
5. Build partnerships to ensure appropriate expertise reaches countries in line
with UNDP’s development role in the UN System

Comparative Advantage
•Capacity building and technical assistance
•Human resource development
•Institutional strengthening (policy/legislative frameworks)
•Non-governmental/community participation
•Country driven- priorities and development strategies
•In-country-programming experience
•Some regional/global projects
•UNDP Specialized Bureaus (BCPR, DDC)
• Partnerships on Adaptation Projects
–Current: Govts, IOC/UNESCO, WHO, UNEP, World Bank, IRI
–In future: ADB, AfDB, IFAD, ISDR, CGIAR, others

LEG stocktaking meeting on the preparation and implementation of NAPAs.
UNDP’s strategy focuses on mainstreaming
Three-pronged approach:
1. Mainstreaming climate change into UN country
programming
2. Mainstreaming climate change into national
development plans
3. Piloting innovative national adaptation projects
to feed lessons into 1 and 2

Outcome indicators
(examples)
TA1. Agriculture and Food Security
GOAL: Food insecurity resulting from climate change minimized or reversed, and new opportunities for food
production resulting from changes in climate exploited.
cf. MDG Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
1.Vulnerability: Resilience
of food production
systems and/or food
insecure communities
enhanced in the face of
climate change.
2.Etc..
1.Year-to-year variations in
total food production
normalised with respect
to inter-annual variations
in key climatic variables.
2.VRA based on interviews
with members of
vulnerable communities.
3.Etc..
1.Measures to reduce
impact of climate variability
on food supply introduced
(e.g. storage facilities,
irrigation).
2.Improved utilization of
climate information ranging
from seasonal forecasts to
longer-term projections.
3.Etc…
 Households, communities
with access to or using
forecast information
 Number of households,
population, communities
benefiting from
vulnerability reduction
measures
 Successful pilots of novel
crop, animal strains.
 Etc…

Progress toward adaptation objectives measured through APF approaches
(1) Assessing climate risks & baseline (non-climate)
issues
(2) Assessing vulnerability
(3) Assessing climate/impact information needs and
usage
(4) Formulating an Adaptation Strategy
- Linkage to development priorities
- Mainstreaming targets
(5) Implementation Arrangements

UNDP-UNEP Partnership on Adaptation
Climate Change and Development – Adapting by
REducing vulnerability (CC DARE)
(currently under development; focus on sub-Saharan Africa)
 Enhanced knowledge, skills and partnerships in mainstreaming climate
change issues
 Stronger technical and institutional capacities for identifying, prioritizing and
implementing cost-effective adaptive measures
 Documenting the experience and knowledge gained on best practices
 Strengthened national adaptation plans and policies that are better integrated
with mainstream development activities, and
 Enhanced regional cooperation on climate change issues.
