1. Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation

2. Key objectives of this session
At the end of this activity, the participants are able to:
Enhance their knowledge on how to mainstream Climate Change into Operation Level

3. I. Mainstream DRR and CCA in strategic level
LEARN
SCREEN
ASSESS
ADJUST
MONITOR
ENABLE

4. Step 1 : LEARN
What is disaster risk reduction (DRR)?
What is climate change adaptation (CCA)?
What is understood by mainstreaming?
Why DRR and CCA should be mainstreamed?

5. Step 2 : ENABLE Leadership Commitment Advocacy Internal/External
Mainstreaming
DRR & CCA
Policy & Strategic Framework
Project Cycle Management
Institutional Capacity

6. Step 3 : SCREEN
Look at current and planned projects with a DRR/CCA lens
Go through the screening checklist
Based on the results, decide whether a detailed assessment is required

7. Step 4 : ASSESS
Collect data on climate change, hazards and socio-economic conditions
Identify the most relevant present and future hazards and climate change impact
Identify the elements most at risk
Identify the factors influencing the present and future vulnerability
Make an overall analysis of current and future risks and opportunities for the planned activity

8. Step 5 : ADJUST
Identify possible risk reduction and adaptation solutions
Select the most appropriate options
Adjust programming accordingly.
Consider additional information concerning the context, sector and gender

9. Step 6 : MONITORING
Establish a realistic M&E Framework
Regularly (at least annually) monitor risks
Review and evaluate whether activities remain appropriate
Re-adjust if necessary

10. II. Mainstreaming at the operational level
It aims to:
examine the vulnerability of development programs and projects to current and future climate risks
assess the extent to which such projects already consider and manage such risks
evaluate potential adaptation measures to address remaining risks

11. Project Cycle Management
1. Analysis
2. Design
3. Implemen-tation and monitoring
4. Evaluation

12. 1. Analysis
Will the project be affected by current or long term climate scenarios
Have there been any reference made to primary or secondary sources of information – research studies/Met department/regional studies etc
Introduce CCA into participatory assessment tools

13. 2. Design of the project This can be done through the VCA exercise
Looking at the community plan from a future scenario
Identification of adaptation measures
Priority ranking – what is most importance? This could be based on time scales, need or financial resources

14. 3. Implementation and monitoring
Defining indicators which are SMART
Designing a monitoring system which build in the indicators
Selection of the most appropriate adaptation measures
How do we define what is appropriate/what is the criteria
Implementation of adaptation measures

15. 4. Evaluation
Has the project delivered the intended benefit or expected results?
Has there been any unexpected results – both positive or negative
What were the challenges

16. Group Exercise You are a programme manager from NHQ office
Discuss how to mainstream CC at programmatic level:
Analysis;
Project design, formulation and planning;
Implementation and monitoring and
Evaluation

17. Group Exercise Group 2 : Group 1 : Malaria Prevention Flood Group 3 :
Coastal Erosion
Group 4 :
Dengue Prevention

18. Key message
We need to integrate scientific knowledge to reduce climate change impacts
Climate risk management builds on existing capacities and knowledge, it is an add-on to existing work
