Enhanced “greenhouse” effect has led to a wide range of changes in global climate and sea level.


Changes in precipitation patterns are also discernible across the globe. (source: IPCC, 2001)


In addition to changes in average climate conditions, frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have been growing.

Climate change in Europe

Adapted from “Climate change impacts in Europe: Today and in the future”

European Environment Agency


Atmosphere and climate

• Global average temperature has increased by about 0.7°C European average temperature by 0.95 C° in last 100 years

• Temperatures will further increase by 1.4 – 5.8 C° globally and 2-6.3 C° in Europe until the year 2100

• Central and northern Europe have received more rain for the period 1900-2000 (10-40% wetter). Southern and south-eastern Europe have become drier (up to 20% drier)

• Extreme weather events - droughts, heatwaves and floods- have increased; cold extremes (frost days) have decreased • Changes are estimated to continue in the future.


Temperature & precipitation extremes

• During the past 100 years the number of cold and frost days has decreased in most parts of Europe. Number of warm days and heat waves has increased.

• Cold winters are projected to disappear almost entirely by 2080 and hot summers are projected to become much more frequent.

• Changes in the frequency of precipitation extremes are very different across Europe. The frequency of “very wet” days significantly decreased in the recent decades in many places in southern-Europe, but increased in mid and northern-Europe.

• It is likely that by 2080 droughts as well as intense precipitation events will become more frequent.


Temperature extremes

Change in frequency of hot days between 1976 and 1999. Unit: No. of days in a year changed over a decadeSource: Klein Tank et al, 2002


Precipitation events


Glaciers, snow and ice

• One of the most identifiable visual CC impacts in Europe can be observed in the cryosphere through the retreat of glaciers, snow cover and Arctic sea ice

• Eight out of nine glacier regions show a significant retreat. Up to 50% of the glacier surfaces in the Alps have been lost since 1850, a trend that is still increasing.

• Increases of Norwegian glaciers can be attributed to climate change through increasing winter snowfall.

• Extent and duration of snow cover all over Europe has decreased since 1960.

• In the Arctic regions of Europe sea ice has also been in decline.


Marine systems

• The marine system is mainly affected by an increase in sea surface temperature

–Especially in isolated basins like the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

–An increase in phytoplankton biomass, a northward movement of indigenous zooplankton species up to 1000 km within the last decades

–An increasing presence and number of sub-tropical species in the North Sea.

• Sea level rise around Europe increased in the last century between 0.8 mm/yr and 3.0 mm/year.

• Projected rate of sea level rise between 1990 and 2100 is 2.2 to 4.4 times higher and is projected to continue for centuries


Human Health

• About 20,000 excess deaths attributable to heat particularly in Western and Southern Europe in the summer of 2003.

• Heat waves are projected to become more frequent and more intense during the 21st Century and the number of excess deaths

• Tick born encephalitis cases between 1980 and 1995 have increased in the Baltic region and Central Europe. Ticks can transmit a variety of diseases, such as tick borne encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme disease (borriliosis).

• Not clear how many of the 85,000 cases of Lyme borriliosis reported annually in Europe, are due to the temperature increase over the past decades

Safeguarding MDGs

“Practical steps to protect countries and communities from the likely disruption and damage that will result from effects of climate change.” (UNFCCC website, 2006)

“Adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effect, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.” (IPCC 2001)

“Changing existing policies and practices and adopting new

policies and practices so as to secure MDGs in the face of

climate change and its associated impacts” (UNDP 2006)

II. UNDP Strategy


Climate Risks and MDGs

MDGs CLIMATE RISKS

MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Depleted livelihood assets, reduced economic growth, and undermined food security.

MDG 2: Achieve universal primary education Reduced ability of children to participate in full-time education by loss of infrastructure, loss of livelihoods (forcing children to work), and displaced families.

MDG 3: Promote gender equality and empower women

Additional burdens on women's health and limited time to participate in decision-making and income-generating activities.

MDGs 4, 5 and 6: Reduce child mortality; improve maternal health; combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases availability of potable water.

Greater prevalence of vector- and water-borne diseases, and heat-related mortality, declining food security, maternal health, and availability of potable water

MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability Negatively impacted natural resources and productive ecosystems

II. UNDP Strategy

Funds: Timescales & Responses

LDCF: Short term (inter-annual)Increase ability of systems to cope with more frequent, severe

extremes, less predictable rainfall, etc. LDCs only. Driven by development priorities.

Sh

Lo

ng

SCCF: Long term (multi-decadal)Modify systems or develop new ones to be viable under changed

conditions, e.g. reduced rainfall, lower groundwater, higher mean temperatures, etc.

Prepare for potential significant changes, e.g. advance retreat from areas likely to become unviable, alternative economic sectors, etc.

SPA: Global Environmental BenefitsNatural resource management to ensure global benefits for

biodiversity, land degradation, international waters, etc.



Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF): Guidelines

•Objective: To implement long-term adaptation measures that increase the resilience of national development sectors to the impacts of climate change. Projects must focus on long-term planned response strategies, policies, and measures, rather than short-term (reactive) activities.

•Scope: Focus on projects in vulnerable regions and sectors.

•SCCF offers an opportunity to link climate change adaptation with socio-economic sectors, including: Water resources management; Land management; Agriculture; Health; Infrastructure development.

•Linkages with fragile ecosystems, integrated coastal zone management and disaster preparedness are also encouraged.


Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF): Guidelines (cont’d)

•Activity examples: improved monitoring of diseases, early warning systems/responses, disaster planning, preparedness for droughts/flood in areas prone to extreme climate events.

•Projects must include elements of at least two these three activities: integration, implementation and/or capacity building).

•Outcomes: reduce climatic vulnerability across a variety of development sectors.

•Outputs examples: resilience of development sectors enhanced, over and above the ‘without-adaptation’ baseline; Strategies, polices and measures have been implemented to ‘climate proof’ sectors; Adaptive capacity of communities to climate change has been created and/or enhanced.


Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF): Guidelines (cont’d)

•Innovation: projects should generate lessons that are applicable in a wider context and can be used to develop good practices for incorporating adaptation to climate change into development planning and project implementation. Link to UNDP-GEF ALM

•Portfolio mix: Thematic and geographical diversity in the portfolio is highly desirable.

•Blended projects: SCCF cannot be co-mingled in ‘blended’ projects with funding from any focal area under the GEF Trust Fund.

•SCCF is open for business – hoping for WP in December – but chances of over programming are great.

•Not part of RAF

Strategic Priority on Adaptation (SPA): Guidelines

•Objective: To increase the resilience and adaptive capacity of those ecosystems and communities vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Projects must focus on reducing vulnerability to climate change impacts as their primary objective.

•Scope: Focus on particularly vulnerable regions, sectors, geographic areas, ecosystems and communities. Selection will be based on information contained in NCs and other studies.

•The SPA supports pilot and demonstration projects that address local adaptation needs and generate global environmental benefits in all GEF focal areas.

•Projects that generate both local (development-focused) and global benefits will be eligible under the SPA, if their benefits are primarily global in nature.


Strategic Priority on Adaptation (SPA): Guidelines (cont’d)

•Activity examples: Capacity building for managing and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources under climate change.

•Outcomes: Enhanced delivery of global environmental benefits across GEF climate change portfolio.

•Output examples: Adaptive capacity of communities has been created and/or enhanced; Resilience of ecosystems has been enhanced, over and above the ‘without-adaptation’ baseline of the project; Global benefits can be demonstrated in one or more of the GEF focal areas.

•Innovation: SPA projects should generate lessons that are applicable in a wide context and can be used to develop good practices for integrating adaptation into GEF focal areas.


Strategic Priority on Adaptation (SPA): Guidelines (cont’d)

•Cloning of projects is not recommended. New projects with similar objectives and outcomes to projects already funded, or in the pipeline, must have an additional innovative component in their project design.

•Portfolio mix: Diversity in the portfolio, as well as thematic clustering of projects, is highly desirable.

•Blended projects: Multifocal area initiatives can be developed as ‘blended’ projects with funding from differing GEF focal area allocations.

•Cost sharing: The recommended co-financing ratios for SPA- projects is 50/50.

•Original SPA commitment still contains $23m for adaptation projects in areas with global environmental benefits for allocating during GEF-4.

Historical experience

Disaster response

Adaptation projects

Adaptation interventions should shift away from reactive and ad hoc toward anticipatory & deliberative



Fundamentals

Projects should be:

1. Anticipatory – address future risk, not just current climate

2. Integrated – into national sectoral policies and UN/UNDP policies

3. Aligned specifically with adaptation funds• LDCF: Development-driven, based on NAPAs, shorter term• SCCF: Long term, planning, policies and measures• SPA: Long term, deliver Global Environmental Benefits



Projects should contain at least two:

• Capacity building and awareness raising

• Integration of risk reduction into strategies, policies and planning (policy change)

• Implementation of adaptation measures (hard measures)

• Financial instruments e.g. insurance, other risk transfer mechanisms

Adaptation to Climate Change through Effective Water Governance – Ecuador



Adaptation Through Water Governance – Ecuador

Fund: SCCFClimate change-driven problem: Increasing climate variability including drought and floods disrupt water suppliesIncreasing glacial runoff (montane communities), salt water intrusion (coastal

communities) decreased water availabililty/quality Highly diverse ecosystems are particularly sensitive to climate change likely to

undergo rapid changes

Baseline: Water system conflicts, unmet demand, ill-adapted to current variability, and lacking capacity. Allocation not based on technical data, including future stream flow scenarios. Limited capacity to collect and generate data.

Alternative: Climate risks mainstreamed into water use policies, allocation decisions supported by economic, social and environmental data. Water users aware of climate change effects, measures adopted to manage impacts. Water allocations optimized.

Objective: Reduce Ecuador’s vulnerability to climate change through increased (adaptive) capacity for effective water resource management and improved access to timely and accurate climate data.

Coping with Drought and Climate Change - Zimbabwe



Coping with Drought and Climate Change (Kenya, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe) Fund: SPA

Climate Change-driven Problem: Increasing temperatures, reduced rainfall and runoff due to climate change more frequent and/or severe droughtsIncreased food insecurity, lack of water for sanitation and groundwater uses salinity and poor health likely to result. Ecosystems and agriculture at risk.

Baseline:Rural communities’ coping strategies become inadequate and maladaptive as drought increases in frequency and intensity. Current responses intensify agriculture on marginal lands, reduce fallow periods, increase urban migration, and shift farming to marginal lands.

Incremental:Improve adaptive capacity of agriculturalists to cope with drought, ensuring sustainability of land degradation benefits.

Additional:Employ alternative livelihoods during droughts; Improve flow and use of early warning information for drought response; Mainstream drought mitigation into development plans.

Objective: Develop and pilot a range of effective coping mechanisms for reducing the vulnerability of farmers and pastoralists in Chiredzi District to drought shocks




Diversify livelihood strategies for vulnerable farmers/pastoralists• Establish local adaptation committees of community and government leadership• Implement community pilot projects in vulnerable wards of pilot sites

Enhance early warning systems in agricultural/pastoral areas• Develop a system for utilizing climate change-relevant information in planning

Integrate drought preparedness in relevant policies across sectors and levels of society

• Using policy lessons from pilot sites, prepare position papers for policy and decision makers on integrated drought risk management

• Implement bi-annual national drought policy forum with broad collaboration

Coping with Drought and Climate Change
