Processes and mechanisms available for making adaptation a priority

• 5-year planning cycle for preparing National Strategic Development Plans • Green Growth Policy and Strategic Plan • Climate Change Strategic Plan (2014-2023) and Sectoral CC Strategic/Action

Plans preparation • National Communication (V&A assessment) • Support programmes (CCCA, PPCR/SPCR, etc.) National Climate Change Committee with its mandate to prepare, coordinate

and monitor the implementation of policies, strategies, legal instruments, plans and programmes to address CC

Climate Change Technical Team

Tools developed for action prioritisation Coordination at regional level is mainly supply-driven Coordination with other MEAs is realised via joint project development for

GEF funding under different Focal Areas

Prioritization of actions (in CCFF)

1. Long listing (Looking at the three types of actions, involvement of key stakeholders)

2. Short-listing/prioritization

Challenges

• Lack of clear CC policy and legislation, some proposed CC responses remain supply-driven (not easy to align with nat. priorities)

• Limited technical and institutional capacity

• Silo planning approach (link between CC actions and existing investment plans, where relevant)

• Coordination/cooperation issue (Gvt-Gvt, Gvt-DPs, DPs-DPs): CC is cross-cutting issue

• Data availability, reliability and management issues (incl. weak research capacity)

• Limited CC awareness, limited understanding about future CC and its impacts, and GHG mitigation potential

• Limited connection b/w research results, policy formulation and proposed actions

Linkages between current mechanisms and NAP

Building on the national CC responses that have occurred in Cambodia, NAP is expected to support the national processes by:

• Providing cross-cutting services for sub-national and sectors action plans on climate change

• Integrated programming (joint programming by sectors, & synergies with mitigation)

• Enhancing coordination capacity (inter-disciplinary, inter-agencies, inter-ministerial etc.)
