1 GEF Support to Adaptation: the SPA, the LDCF and the SCCF By Bonizella Biagini Program Manager Climate Change Adaptation Global Environment Facility IFAD Workshop, May 2007

2 GEF operations in response to UNFCCC guidance on adaptation l Staged approach (COP1, COP4): Preparation  Enabling Activities (funds for V&A assessments and capacity building from support for National Communications) l New guidance: Implementation => Strategic Priority on Adaptation (SPA) Trust Fund => LDC Fund (UNFCCC) => SCCF Fund (UNFCCC) $230 M (currently available for adaptation/pledges) => Adaptation Fund under discussion (Kyoto Protocol)

3 Implementation: GEF Trust Fund “Piloting an Operational Approach to Adaptation” (SPA) Projects will : “Show how adaptation planning and assessment can be practically translated into projects that will provide real benefits” –$50 million allocation –Incremental Costs and global benefits –GEF Assistance to Address Adaptation –SPA operational guidelines –Independent Evaluation

4 GEF Trust Fund-supported Projects (SPA) Implementing Agency: World Bank Approved Projects (WP) –Kiribati Adaptation Program (GEF $1.5 M) –Integrated National Adaptation Pilot: High Mountain Ecosystems, Colombia’s Caribbean Insular Areas, and Human Health (GEF $4M) –Implementation of Pilot Adaptation Measures in coastal areas of Dominica, St. Lucia and St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Regional Caribbean (GEF $1.9M)

5 GEF Trust Fund -supported projects (SPA) Implementing Agency: UNDP l Approved (WP) –Community-Based Adaptation Program (Global, pilot in Bangladesh, Bolivia, Niger and Samoa) (GEF $5M) –Responding to Shoreline Change UNDP (Regional, West Africa, countries include: Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, Cape Verde (GEF $4M) l MSPs –Lake Balaton, Hungary (GEF $1 M) –Adaptation Learning Mechanism (Knowledge Management initiative), global – pilot in Asia (GEF $1 M)

6 Projects: GEF-supported Adaptation Pipeline (SPA) Implementing Agency: UNEP l MSP –Integrating Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change into Sustainable Development Policy Planning and Implementation in Southern and Eastern Africa (GEF $1M)

7 Climate Change New funds LDCF and SCCF: focus on development l Least Developed Countries Fund implementation of NAPAs (urgent and immediate needs) l Special Climate Change Fund (a) top priority: adaptation Areas: Water, land management, agriculture, health, infrastructure development, fragile ecosystems, integrated coastal zone management, disaster risk management and prevention => Complementarity of the funds

8 Additional COST l The adverse impacts of climate change impose an additional cost on vulnerable countries to achieve their development goals l The new funds will support the additional cost of activities that reduce vulnerability and increase adaptive capacity to facilitate the transition towards climate- resilient development

9 How to calculate the additional cost? Two options: 1. Using a sliding scale as a shortcut (agreed % of baseline and additional costs) 2. Additional cost reasoning (explaining what are the baseline costs and the additional costs)

1010 Status of the new funds LDCF –Existing resources, including pledges: $115 million –The LDCF has supported the preparation of NAPAs in 44 LDCs and will support NAPA implementation SCCF -Total resources, including pledges: $60 million -$34 million already programmed in projects on the ground => About $90 million mobilized in the last 12 months

1 Different features GEF TRUST FUND l Incremental cost l Global benefits l RAF l Co-financing New FUNDS l Additional cost l Sliding scale (optional) l NO RAF l NO Global benefits l Different approach to co- financing

1212 Comparison: SPA (protecting global commons), LDCF and SCCF (protecting human development) SPA (GEF Trust Fund) LDCF Urgent and Immediate needs (by NAPAs) SCCF Priority areas of intervention (COP guidance) Incremental cost (global benefits) Additional cost of adaptation measures Additional cost of adaptation measures Projects include incremental cost reasoning sliding scale optional (no incremental cost and no global benefits) sliding scale optional (no incremental cost and no global benefits)

1313 SCCF work program – first projects l Kenya Adaptation to Climate Change in Arid Lands (KACCAL) (WB) => $6.2M l Guyana Conservancy Adaptation Project (WB) => $5M l 3 projects: Coping with Drought and Climate Change in Ethiopia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe (UNDP) => SCCF $1M each l Mainstreaming Climate Change in Integrated Water Resources Management in Pangani River Basin (UNDP) Tanzania => SCCF $1 M

1414 SCCF pipeline – first projects l Adaptation to climate change through Effective Water Governance in Ecuador (UNDP) => SCCF $3 M l Adaptation to climate change and health: Barbados and Fiji (low-lying), Uzbekistan and Jordan (desert/desert-fringe), Bhutan, Kenya and China (highland) (UNDP/WHO) => SCCF $6 M l Implementation of Pilot Climate Change Adaptation Measures in the Andean Region (WB) Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru => SCCF $6.7 M l Climate-Resilience Development and Adaptation India (UNDP) => SCCF $4M l Protection of Environmental Services of Coastal Wetlands in the Gulf of Mexico (WB) => SCCF $4.8 M l Pacific Islands Adaptation to Climate Change Project (PACC) Regional (Cook Islands, Micronesia, Fiji, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu) (UNDP) => SCCF $11.5 M

1515 LDCF: Projects submitted for NAPA Implementation l Bhutan: Reduce climate change-induced risks and vulnerabilities from glacial lake outbursts in the Punakha-Wangdi and Chamkhar Valleys (UNDP) => LDCF $3.5M l Bangladesh: Community based adaptation to climate change through coastal afforestation (UNDP) => LDCF $3M l Malawi Carla (African Development Bank)

1616 NAPA Implementation - Continues l Samoa Integrated NAPA (multi-sectoral) l Niger (agriculture sector) l Mauritania (water resources management in arid oasian zones) l Djibuti

1717 Project Cycle -- SPA l PIF l PPG l Pipeline l WP l CEO Endorsement l MSPs

1818 Project Cycle -- SCCF l PIF l PPG l Pipeline l WP l CEO Endorsement l MSPs

1919 Project Cycle -- LDCF l PIF l PPG l Accelerated project cycle l Project submitted on a rolling basis l Only posted on the web, not submitted to the Council during Council meetings l 4 objections needed to stop them l WP and CEO endorsement merged in one stop l MSPs up to $2 million

2020 Challenges and Opportunities How to integrate adaptation measures into development l How to estimate the costs of adaptation l More information and data are needed l There are many existing good practices and indigenous knowledge to cope with current climate stresses l However => there is enough knowledge and expertise on the ground to start implementing adaptation
