TACC Training Module 6 Integrated Planning and Governance to Address Climate Change 1

Objectives of the Module Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  Introduce key issues relevant for effective multi-level and multi-sectoral governance to address climate change  Introduce methodologies available for sub-national authorities to undertake planning to address climate change

Overview  Section 1: Introduction to Climate Change Governance  Section 2: Developing Green, Low-Emission and Climate-Resilient Development Strategies (UNDP Methodology)  Section 3: Developing a Local Climate Change Plan (UN HABITAT Methodology) Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1

Multi-level Dimension of Climate Change Governance Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  Multiple levels of government concerned with climate change  National Level  Sub-national/territorial level (e.g. region, state, province)  City level (e.g. Municipalities/Metropolitan Areas)  Depending on the political system of a country, variations exist concerning  Division of decision authority  Authority to collect financial revenues  Accountability structures  Etc.

Integrating Climate Change into Development Planning Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1 Source: IEA  National development plans create important opportunities to address climate change  Development plans provide the basis for Medium-term expenditure frameworks Annual sectoral budgeting (e.g. agriculture, water, etc)  Strategic planning processes include, for example  Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers  UN Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFs)  National Sustainable Development Strategies  Engaging with the National Climate Change Committees through the Ministry of Local Governments, where applicable  Consideration of sub-national issues differ from case-to-case

Questions and Challenges from a Sub-national Perspective Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  Is a national climate change policy framework/programme in place?  If so, how are sub-national issues taken into account?  How do sub-national authorities participate in relevant processes?

Questions and Challenges from a Sub-national Perspective (cont.) Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  In which areas of climate change governance do sub- national authorities have autonomous decision- authority vis-à-vis national authorities?  To what extent can sub-national authorities collect and allocate revenues to support climate change action independently?  What steps can sub-national authorities do to participate in international support and capacity development projects?

Overall Objective of UNDP TACC Approach Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  Sub-national Governments are supported to ….  …prepare green, low-emission and climate-resilient development strategies (LECRDS)  …that attract and direct public and private investment…  …rooted in robust and integrated scientific, institutional, financial, and socio-economic assessments  …address the threats, risks, vulnerabilities and uncertainties associated with global climate change

Key steps of preparing a sub-national low carbon and climate resilient strategy Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  Step 1: Develop Partnership and Coordinating Structure  Step 2: Prepare Climate Change Scenarios  Step 3: Identify Mitigation and Adaptation Options  Step 4: Assess Priority Climate Financing Needs  Step 5: Prepare Comprehensive Low Carbon & Climate Change Roadmap

Key steps of preparing a sub-national low carbon and climate resilient strategy (UNDP) Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1

Step 1: Develop Partnership and Coordinating Structure Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  Internal preparation and stocktaking exercises  Review existing governance/decision making structures  Identify key stakeholders  Analyze national and local policy document/strategies, national and local programmes and projects, etc.  Raise awareness among sub-national authorities  Establish  TACC Steering Committee  Project Coordinating Unit  Sectoral Working Groups  Establish a multi-stakeholder consultative process

Step 3: Identify Mitigation and Adaptation Options Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1  Identify priority mitigation and adaptation options through stakeholder consultation  Address variety of relevant thematic areas and sectors, e.g.,  Energy  Transport  Natural resource management  Urban planning  Etc. Source: Tecacentre

Step 4: Assess Priority Climate Financing Needs  Take stock of existing sub-national/local government financing strategies  Undertake feasibility studies on sub-national/local government financing and policy  Undertake an assessment of socio-economic impacts  Prepare cost-benefit assessment of identified priority mitigation and adaptation options  Identify financial flow requirements  Identify policy and innovative financing instruments Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1

Step 5: Prepare Low Carbon and Climate Change Roadmap  Prepare a comprehensive low carbon and climate resilient strategy and action plan  Develop and implement 1-3 ‘fast track’ projects  Develop and implement follow-up on integrated development projects  Develop policy instruments in support of the strategy Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1
