Richard J.T. Klein Stockholm Environment Institute and Centre for Climate Science and Policy Research, Linköping University The PROVIA Guidance on Assessing Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation to Climate Change

PROVIA responds to the need for: A single research programme, focused on vulnerability, impacts and adaptation to climate change (a counterpart to WCRP) Research capacity to deliver high-quality information to decision-makers with due urgency Prioritisation of research, to be communicated to governments and international agencies (thus also helping to fund the research)

Objectives of PROVIA Help to provide international direction and improve the coherence of research on climate vulnerability, impacts and adaptation Communicate scientific information on VIA to governments, international agencies and other decision- makers Help to guide investment in research Build scientific research capacity, especially in developing countries

Guidance requirements and challenges The guidance should promote a more systematic and rigorous approach to assessing VIA. It should be coherent and based on the latest academic insights in VIA research. It should take into account the needs and constraints of users (i.e. researchers, practitioners, policymakers). It should be informative rather than prescriptive. Different users have different adaptation objectives and require different assessment guidance.

Preparing the PROVIA Guidance 10 authors 41 reviewers and resource persons Two workshops with experts and potential users and contributors Various presentations at academic and policy events to solicit feedback

LEG Technical Guidelines: Element A Lay the groundwork and address gaps: Step A.1. Initiating and launching the NAP process Step A.2. Stocktaking: Identifying available information on climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation and assessing gaps and needs of the enabling environment for the NAP process Step A.3. Addressing capacity gaps and weaknesses in undertaking the NAP process Stap A.4. Comprehensively and iteratively assessing development needs and climate vulnerabilities

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.1 Indicative activities: a.Conduct briefings to policymakers about climate change adaptation challenges and opportunities and the NAP process in particular b.Designate the spearheading or coordinating mechanism c.Create or enhance a national vision and mandate for the NAP process d.Operationalise the NAP process through access to support e.Define a NAP framework and strategy as well as a road map, including sequencing of various NAPs and a monitoring and evaluation plan for the NAP process

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.1 Indicative activities: a.Conduct briefings to policymakers about climate change adaptation challenges and opportunities and the NAP process in particular b.Designate the spearheading or coordinating mechanism c.Create or enhance a national vision and mandate for the NAP process d.Operationalise the NAP process through access to support e.Define a NAP framework and strategy as well as a road map, including sequencing of various NAPs and a monitoring and evaluation plan for the NAP process

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.1.c Create or enhance a national vision and mandate for the NAP process (Sections 2.4 and 3.1) Focuses both on the technical tasks of planning and implementing adaptation measures, and on the work needed to support those efforts: communications, consensus building, integration with non-climate initiatives (especially development), and capacity building for key actors and institutions.

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.1.e Define a NAP framework and strategy as well as a road map, including sequencing of various NAPs and a monitoring and evaluation plan for the NAP process (Sections 2.5 and 3.10) Setting clear goals, objectives and metrics and laying out a sequential set of steps, with clearly assigned responsibilities, will help ensure efficiency, unity of purpose, and accountability in the NAP process.

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.2 Indicative activities: a.Conduct a stocktaking of ongoing and past adaptation activities b.Synthesise available analyses of the current and future climate at the broad national and/or regional level c.Conduct a gap analysis to assess strengths and weaknesses regarding the capacity, data and information, and resources required to effectively engage in the NAP process d.Assess potential barriers to the planning, design and implementation of adaptation activities

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.2 Indicative activities: a.Conduct a stocktaking of ongoing and past adaptation activities b.Synthesise available analyses of the current and future climate at the broad national and/or regional level c.Conduct a gap analysis to assess strengths and weaknesses regarding the capacity, data and information, and resources required to effectively engage in the NAP process d.Assess potential barriers to the planning, design and implementation of adaptation activities

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.2.c Conduct a gap analysis to assess strengths and weaknesses regarding the capacity, data and information, and resources required to effectively engage in the NAP process (Sections 2.1 and 3.1.2) Assessing capacity helps to identify potential constraints to effective engagement in the NAP. Synthesising available data and knowledge helps to identify any major gaps; if those gaps cannot be filled with available resources, that may limit the range of methods and tools that can be applied in the NAP process.

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.2.d Assess potential barriers to the planning, design and implementation of adaptation activities (Sections 2.4.1) A growing evidence base shows that a major factor in successful adaptation is the larger social and governance context, which can determine who supports or obstructs the process, what resources are available, and how much action is perceived as possible.

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.3 Indicative activities: a.Develop and enhance enabling institutional and technical capacity for the formulation of the NAP b.Identify and enhance awareness of potential opportunities for integrating climate change adaptation into development planning at different levels c.Design and implement programmes on climate change communication, public awareness-raising and education

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.3 Indicative activities: a.Develop and enhance enabling institutional and technical capacity for the formulation of the NAP b.Identify and enhance awareness of potential opportunities for integrating climate change adaptation into development planning at different levels c.Design and implement programmes on climate change communication, public awareness-raising and education

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.3.b Identify and enhance awareness of potential opportunities for integrating climate change adaptation into development planning at different levels (Sections 3.6 and 3.6.2) Development plays a crucial role in reducing vulnerability to climate change, but when climate risks are not adequately considered, it can also exacerbate vulnerability.

LEG Technical Guidelines: Step A.4 Indicative activities: a.Compile information on main development objectives, policies, plans and programmes b.Identify synergies between development and adaptation objectives, policies, plans and programmes with a view to identifying risks to investment and opportunities for collaboration and realising co-benefits (start with climate-proofing), including economic benefits
