Why Climate Adaptation? DM2009 Climate Adaptation www.developmentmarketplace.org Developing countries need additional financing to adapt to climate change Addressing climate change is critical to development and poverty reduction The poorest countries and communities stand to suffer the earliest and the most from the effects of climate change. An effective response to climate change must combine both mitigation of global GHG emissions—to avoid the unmanageable—and adaptation at the regional, national, and local levels—to manage the unavoidable There is a huge funding gap for adaptation (and mitigation) The development community needs to build knowledge about adaptation to climate change ! ! ! ! ! !

DM2009 on Climate Adaptation Resilience of Indigenous Peoples’ Communities to Climate Risks Promote Indigenous Peoples communities’ and organizations’ development of innovative ways to conserve agriculture, land, water and soil management practices; apply innovative adaptation plans and communication strategies based on Indigenous systems to accelerate learning and knowledge sharing on climate change adaptation. Climate Risk Management with Multiple Benefits Empower poor communities to test innovative, low-cost strategies to spread climate risk and forge innovative partnerships that increase vulnerable communities’ access to climate risk management knowledge, information, and services that produces multiple social and environmental benefits; use innovative means to help educate communities on climate risks that leads to empowerment for action. Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management Develop innovative arrangements that diffuse climate-related disaster risks faced by the poor and vulnerable; create innovative low-cost approaches for spatial planning for climate resilience and for construction of housing and local infrastructure resistant to climate-related disasters; improve the capacity of local communities to access and use multi-hazard risk information to enhance their early warning systems and other community-based responses to climatic extremes and climate change.
