3 What is LUCCC? LUCCC is a capacity building consortium of 10 universities from 10 LDCs in Asia and Africa

4 Capacity Building According to UNFCCC:
“The process of developing the technical skills and institutional capability in developing countries and economies in transition to enable them to address effectively the causes and results of climate change”

5 ARTICLE 6 of the UNFCCC Education, training and public awareness on climate change have a specific place - Article 6 - in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

6 Learning From Existing Initiatives
“A large number of initiatives, but the sums of finance involved are very modest Support is rarely sustained and enduring Programs are useful to the individuals and their anchor institutions, but wider impact on the system often less clear” (Nakhooda 2015)

7 Paris COP- A Game Changer

8 Outcomes of the Paris Conference
Parties reaffirmed the importance of capacity building in Article 11 Paradigm shift from short term to long term capacity building was stressed Paris decision text established: Paris Committee on Capacity Building (PCCB) Capacity building Initiative for Transparency

13 Vision and Mission Capacitate all 48 LDCs to be able to adapt to climate change Achieve this goal by developing a South-South and South-South-North knowledge sharing and capacity development programme on adaptation Universities and training Institutes are regarded as the primary delivering agents

14 Why LDCs?? Climate vulnerability and capacity gaps
Similar development challenges and experiences Context is very important when it comes to adaptation Exchanges of the knowledge and perspectives

16 What is Distinct about LUCCC
A south-south initiative and located within some of the most capacity deprived countries Work plan, programmes and priorities to be set based local priorities Intends to offer support to the PCCB
