1. EuropeAid Climate change, water and the EU development cooperation: Key issues DEVCO C2 – Climate Change, Environment, Natural Resources and Water “TODAY’s POVERTY IS YESTERDAY’s UNADRESSED VULNERABILITY”

2. EuropeAid The global context of international negotiations: state of play Current work: building on Cancun agreements o 2°C target confirmed o Financial commitments: Fast Start Finance (30 billion USD 2010-2012 – EU share 7.2 billion) + Long term finance: USD 100 billion/year by 2020 o Balanced agreement Mitigation Adaptation REDD+, technology, capacity building Finance Complex process: many issues at stake, parallel negotiation streams (Convention/Kyoto Protocol) Durban: realistic expectations Progress on some ‘building blocks’

3. EuropeAid The global context of international negotiations: adaptation and water Adaptation: several issues and work streams Cancun Adaptation Framework: enhanced action on adaptation Nairobi Work Program: impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to CC; technology transfer; research and observation (SBSTA) Implementation: National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs); support to adaptation through finance, technology and capacity-building Water: in Cancun (2010) and Bonn (2011): push to add water as a new ‘agenda item’ Final result: water added as additional topic under Nairobi Work Program

4. EuropeAid How can we respond/contribute with development cooperation? (1) Getting early funding right – best use to be made of fast start finance (ENRTP 2010 and 2011) o Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA): adaptation o EU-UNDP capacity building (for monitoring, reporting and verification): mitigation o Carbon market readiness Partnership o Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme o EU REDD+ Facility and Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Linkages with ODA and aid effectiveness agenda  strengthening ownership, improved coordination within EU and with other partners, promoting CC integration, and paving the way for scaled up CC action through capacity building, dialogue and actions

5. EuropeAid How can we respond/contribute with development cooperation? (2) Leveraging private sector finance  maximise existing instruments and find new ones (Investment Facilities) Importance of climate change in the next programming cycle o Development strategies will have to interlink national development and climate change adaptation and mitigation o Green growth based on renewable energy, energy efficiency, the greening of the budget, sustainable consumption and production will need to be part of discussions

6. EuropeAid The importance of climate change for the water sector – What are the impacts? Water quantity o Rainfall patterns, floods, droughts, sea level rise o Population flows (indirect factor) Water quality o Pollutants, disease vectors, salinity, turbidity due to changing water flows, floods and temperature (Waste)water and sanitation infrastructures o Extreme weather events o Energy infrastructures (indirect factor)

7. EuropeAid The importance of climate change for the water sector – How to adapt? Water supply: Increase efficiency in supply and use, exploiting more or new sources (issue of sustainability) Water demand: managing and monitoring the demand (e.g. population flows) Climate-proofing infrastructures: e.g. protecting from contamination (floods) or damage due to extreme weather events Water governance including user rights issues and watershed management (e.g. transboundary) Integrating climate change in water policies and programmes (from undertaking assessments to coordinating, making and implementing policies, budgeting and monitoring)

EuropeAid Tools and methodologies to deal with climate change in the water sector Internal trainings ‘Greening EC development cooperation’ and climate risk assessments Guidelines on the integration of environment and climate change in development cooperation « Sector Script » for water supply and sanitation

11. EuropeAid Instruments to deal with climate change in the water sector Geographical programmes (national/regional) o Climate change as a specific area of cooperation o Climate change as a cross-cutting issue Thematic programmes o Environment and sustainable management of natural resources including energy (e.g. for regional programmes) o Global Climate Change Alliance (for LDCs and SIDS) Investment facilities o Climate change ‘windows’

12. EuropeAid Instruments - Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) (1) To strengthen dialogue (pillar 1) and cooperation (pillar 2) on climate change between the European Union and developing countries most vulnerable to climate change, in particular LDCs and SIDS Promote a convergence of visions on a post-2012 climate change regime between the EU and the targeted countries Promote approaches to integrate climate change into development planning and budgeting Focus on adaptation in water and agriculture, REDD, CDM, DRR, and integration of climate change in poverty reduction efforts Budget support as preferred modality

14. EuropeAid Examples of water related interventions - Belize Increased resilience in the water sector against potential climate change impacts (Result 1) o Setting up a water management system to monitor quality and quantity of natural water resources based on national adaptation strategy to address climate change in the sector o Replanting of trees, crops and mangroves at strategic locations to prevent/limit soil erosion and coastal degradation o Community based watershed management and flood prevention activities o Measures to guarantee water supply (rain water collection, wells, etc) Enhance the institutional capacity of the government to deal with climate change (Result 2) Project approach (EUR 2.9 million) under the GCCA

15. EuropeAid Examples of water related interventions - Samoa Supporting Climate Change Adaptation of the Samoan Water Sector o An updated Water for Life Sector Plan with effective integration of climate change adaptation measures in all phases of the programme cycle o Rehabilitation and unblocking of all drainage infrastructure in the greater Apia area o Reconstruction and upgrading of priority drainage infrastructure for storm water flows based on climate change projections in the flood prone central business area of Apia o Establishment of an effective Asset Management system and the implementation of a maintenance plan for drainage infrastructure under the LTA Sector budget support (EUR 3 million) under the GCCA

16. EuropeAid Examples of water related interventions – Lower Mekong Basin Adressing ecosystem challenges through the support to the Climate Change Adaptation Initiative of the Mekong River Commission o Focus on basin-wide level and transboundary issues o Adaptation planning and implementation is piloted and demonstrated throughout the region o Improved (regional) capacity to adapt to climate change including in the use of tools o Strategies and plans for adaptation in place, integrated with development plans and monitored o Regional cooperation, exchange and learning implemented o Project approach (EUR 5 million) under the GCCA

17. EuropeAid Examples of water related interventions – Uganda Adaptation to climate change in Uganda o Focus on water, agriculture and climate change o Better access of livestock to water through water for production investments o Resilience of agriculture production systems in the cattle corridor improved o Knowlegde and capacities of for climate change adaptation strengthened (climate change unit) o Project approach (EUR 11 million) under the GCCA
