ATLAS Vulnerability Assessment Approaches & Methodologies
Date of submission:

NWPContentType:

NWPTypeOfKnowledge:
Technical document/report
Description:
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to assessing climate risks to a program or activity – methodologies can range from a basic screening exercise that highlights overall risks to a robust assessment that provides in-depth analysis of when, how and to what extent climate variability and change may impact programming. ATLAS has worked across this spectrum, developing everything from high-level climate risk profiles to in-depth analyses detailing who or what is vulnerable to climate variability and change, why and how they are vulnerable and what opportunities exist to reduce these vulnerabilities.

NWPTypeOfKnowledge:
Technical document/report
Description:
The toolkit begins with an overview of the Service Planning approach and proceeds with chapters on each of the four tools. Discussion of each tool includes sections with general guidance, a review of the tool in practice, and templates and additional materials. The step-by-step processes and templates outlined in this Toolkit represent a best effort to provide resources that will work for all Hubs in most cases. While the tools provide guidelines based on best practice, they should be adapted to local contexts and the planning requirements of each service. Where relevant, the Toolkit offers additional resources to assist Hubs in refining their approaches

Further information:
The Toolkit is based primarily on Hub experiences with early elements of service planning. In addition, USAID, NASA and the Hubs actively contributed to its development during the 2017 SERVIR Service Planning Exchange and the 2016 SERVIR Annual Global Exchange. This spirit of consultation and collaboration will continue as the SERVIR service planning approach evolves and the tools are refined. Intended as a living document, this Toolkit will be revised and improved periodically to reflect best practices across the SERVIR network.

Technical document/report
Description:
Grass-Cast uses almost 40 years of historical data on weather and vegetation growth— combined with seasonal precipitation forecasts—to predict if rangelands in individual grid cells (whose size is 10 km x 10km, or ~ 6 miles x 6 miles) are likely to produce above-normal, near-normal, or below-normal amounts of vegetation. Grass-Cast also provides a view of rangeland productivity in the broader region, to assist in larger-scale decision making—such as where grazing resources might be more plentiful if a rancher’s own region is at risk of drought. Grass-Cast provides ranchers and land managers with an indication of productivity in the upcoming growing season relative to their area’s more nearly 40-year history. Ranchers and land managers should use this information in combination with their local knowledge of soils, plant communities, topography, and management to help with decision-making.

Description:
Provide accessible information on local agricultural production to help farmers, merchants and agricultural producers plan their agricultural business by doing market studies of the products, evaluating transportation routes, and helping to decide what, where and when to grow a product. Agricultural Statistics is an interactive platform created by the USDA Caribbean Climate Hub to illustrate the origin and production of Puerto Rico’s main crops. The tool provides information on more than 100 agricultural products, the neighborhoods and municipalities where they are grown, and their production areas and quantities. Area and production statistics are summarized by neighborhood and by year, and can be displayed in map or table format at the island, agricultural region, municipality or neighborhood level. To provide additional information on the crops, the tool also connects each of the crops with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) plants database, which provides taxonomic descriptions and species distribution ranges. A future version of this recently released tool will include projections for future climate scenarios to further support climate change adaptation for producers and merchants.

Technical document/report
Description:
The Forest Service Watershed Condition Framework (WCF) is a management tool for prioritizing watershed restoration activities. It is a six-step process that begins with an assessment of watershed (ecosystem) condition. This guides the selection of priority areas and projects for restoration. The framework ends with monitoring and verifying that implemented projects met the restoration objectives. It considers threats to water-related ecosystems such as from wildfires, dams, or poor water quality and insufficient stream flow. The WCF was designed to provide a high degree of flexibility for local adaptation throughout all steps of the framework, promoting local level ownership, while establishing consistency and accountability. This local ownership has been important for the durability of the program. For many local units, the WCF has been a key piece of information when working with partners and has helped them establish cost sharing agreements to complete essential restoration projects for priority watersheds. The unit of “watersheds” also creates a platform for local units to consider an all lands approach to restoration, going beyond Forest Service boundaries.

Description:
CCRUN serves stakeholder needs in assessing and managing risks from climate variability and change. It is currently also the only RISA (NOAA’s Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments programme) team with a principal focus on climate change adaptation in urban settings. As such, CCRUN is designed to address the complex challenges that are associated with densely populated, highly interconnected urban areas, such as urban heat island effects; poor air quality; intense coastal development, and multifunctional settlement along inland waterways; complex overlapping institutional jurisdictions; integrated infrastructure systems; and highly diverse, and in some cases, fragile socio-economic communities.

A Thematic Atlas of Nature's Benefits to Dar es Salaam

Description:
Background and purpose City officials in Dar es Salaam expressed a need to prioritise their annual municipal investment in city greening. Consequently, the conceptual basis of ‘A Thematic Atlas of Nature’s Benefits to Dar es Salaam’ is ecosystem services thinking, which highlights the societal and economic benefits of green open space and vegetated areas in urban and peri-urban contexts. Each of seven ‘themes’ in The Atlas represents an urban challenge, such as rising urban heat or flooding. Spatial data, including geo-referenced imagery and vector shapefiles, were used to link the spatial location of issues with the spatial location of existing green spaces and the ecosystem services provided by those green open spaces. Together, these aspects provided a logical and spatially explicit basis for prioritising the city’s investment in green open space. For example, a city may choose to plant large numbers of trees where areas of extreme urban heat overlap with areas of high air pollution; for example around bus terminals. With this approach, the City can build a defensible rationale for the spatial selection of sites for greening investments for the achievement of outcomes that relate to societal well-being, protected and enhanced economies and the reduction of urban risks such as heat islands. The Atlas also represents an approach that can be developed without perfect or complete information and data, and may therefore have wide applicability to cities experiencing resource constraints similar to those exhibited by Dar es Salaam. Process The Atlas methodology was co-created with Dar es Salaam City Council, its five municipalities and a wide range of non-municipal stakeholders and contributors, including NGOs and universities (see Karutz et al 2019). The need for the Atlas was affirmed with stakeholders and the potential themes were discussed. Following agreement on themes, draft maps and text were developed for each theme. Stakeholders were invited to validate draft maps and text, in a workshop setting before the product was finalised.
Outcome:
When the Atlas was in the final stages of development, the project team asked the Dar es Salaam City Council and municipal representatives about the anticipated usefulness of the product. They indicated that it would be useful as a green space planning tool, to prioritise green space investment based on achieving multiple benefits in specified spatial locations. They envisaged that it would also support the development of action plans. City officials pointed out though that it would be important to incorporate the Atlas into the City Strategic Plan in order to ensure funding allocation to greening initiatives. The Dar es Salaam City Council used the city heat map from the Atlas in their presentations at different platforms to illustrate city issues within a climate change context, showing the influence of the maps beyond the Atlas. Once the Atlas was launched, further needs were expressed. The City and five municipalities indicated that the education sector would benefit from a series of adaptations of the Atlas chapters for educational purposes and to change school curricula to accommodate ideas on urban nature and nature-based solutions. Another emergent need was expressed by various stakeholders to establish a cross-sectoral forum to discuss and coordinate greening efforts in the City as several agencies (notably the local road and rapid transit agency, and local nurseries) play a role in city greening. The Atlas was used to identify priority sites for practical demonstration projects to be implemented as part of the INTERACT-Bio project. Finally, recommendations from the Thematic Atlas led to the project allocating funds to developing a biodiversity catalogue for Dar es Salaam to showcase Dar es Salaam’s indigenous nature and to support awareness of its usefulness in the City.

Description:
To overcome these barriers, we founded the Higher Ground Foundation with the goal of developing a measure that recognises the benefits of adaptation in a more equitable manner—the VRC. With the basic economic concept in place, we worked closely with a multidisciplinary group of experts to formulate a technical ‘standard framework’ for the VRC modelled on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and its environmental, social, and governance principles. The VRC Standard Framework was formally launched at the 23rd Conference of Parties Climate Conference (Bonn, 2017). Projects can register to qualify for VRCs under our current ‘Pilot Implementation and Partnerships Phase’ (PIPP). We actively seek partners for the PIPP across a range of sectors and regions to develop pilot projects. Direct access to this tool: https://www.thehighergroundfoundation.org/standard-framework

Description:
Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) is in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council, accredited with World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) of the United Nations and UN WSIS prize winner 2016, Champion 2017 and 2019. BNNRC’s approach to media development is both knowledge-driven and context-sensitive, and it takes into account the challenges and opportunities created by the rapidly changing media environment in Bangladesh including community radio development giving voices for the voiceless. BNNRC is actively working to improve recognition of the community electronic media sector & its work in and involvement with the communities. BNNRC represents the community electronic media sector to Government, Industry, Regulatory Bodies, Media, Academia and Development Partners from 2000. The Community Radio stations are an integral part of the disaster risk management and climate change process in coastal areas of Bangladesh. Community Radio stations are the fastest channels for the broadcasting of knowledge and information across the coastal areas. Community Radio programs are quite supportive to the intervention reflected in 7th 5 year plan of Government of Bangladesh, UN World Summit on the Information Society Action Plan, UN SDG‘s, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, Bangladesh on the March Towards Prosperity 2018 & Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan. Program broadcasting of the community radio stations aims to reduce or avoid the potential losses and damages caused by hazards, or climate change assure prompt and appropriated assistance to communities achieve rapid and effective recovery in line with the Building Back Better.
Outcome:
BNNRC have been engaged in using eight community radio stations of coastal areas of Bangladesh as a knowledge tool, community radio offers benefits in the following ways: Speaking to communities in local languages using terms and phrases that are easily understood; Providing two-way interactive social learning through listeners’ clubs, call-in shows, and other forms of exchange; Enabling the communication and exchange of knowledge between people who need it, e.g. rural farmers, in a consumable, deployable and non-threatening way; Communicating local knowledge, needs and demands beyond the community to inform policy, research, and other communities; Providing the only media available to communities that have little or no access to other methods of conveying information and knowledge;

Description:
Climate Resilient Attitudinal Gradients (CRAGs) are landscape units with a minimum altitudinal range of 1,000 meters, and are characterized by climate resilient biodiversity and ecosystem service values. The minimum altitudinal range is set to allow for upward shifts in distribution and for intervention options to increase resilience. Altitudinal gradients are especially vulnerable to extreme climatic events, such as heavy rains, that are predicted to be more frequent in the future. Heavy rains on mountains and hills cascade down their slopes and cause severe soil erosion, flooding and landslides. Droughts lead to the drying up of streams and rivers, and falling lake levels, impacting on urban and rural water supplies and sabotaging food production. Poor farming practices make such problems worse. The CRAGs approach brings together a variety of conservation approaches and activities, such as integrated water management; ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change; soil erosion, pollution and forest management; and community livelihoods, which have impact across a landscape gradient in ways that directly benefit human well-being and biodiversity values. The goal of the project is to help to understand, and respond to, increased environmental pressures from climate change, and to create and expand incentives to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services in the South Kivu and Rusizi River catchments. If altitudinal gradients are properly managed though integrated water catchment programmes and smart agricultural practices, excess rains can be used to offset water shortages during droughts, and soil erosion and the loss of soil fertility can be reduced. Objectives: • identify the most climate-vulnerable CRAGs within the Kivu and Rusizi catchments by combining historical and current data on land use, topography, rainfall, hydrology, demography, urban growth and resource demands, development initiatives, and threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services with future climate change projections. • developed and promote, through a participatory process, involving government agencies, Lake Basin Authorities, NGOs, private sector and local communities, an integrated CRAGs Intervention Plan, which will guide subsequent actions that will increase climate resilience for livelihoods, biodiversity and ecosystem services within the Rusizi and South Lake Kivu catchments. • strengthen and expand the networks and livelihoods of local community groups, and pilot monitoring activities at the three most climate vulnerable sites, with the aim of reducing soil erosion, which if left unaddressed is expected to increase in severity as a result of climate change. • explore, and where viable, initiate opportunities for sustainable financing strategies to protect the ecological functions of the watersheds, particularly Payments for Ecosystem Services, where downstream stakeholders pay incentives to upstream stakeholders. • analyse key sectoral policies and plans that have an impact on the integrity of biodiversity and ecosystem services, including agriculture, land, water and forestry, with recommendations formulated and shared among relevant national and regional forums and institutions.
Outcome:
The 1st and 2nd CRAGs projects: • Conducted sediment fingerprinting, to identify the potential sources of erosion in the catchments. This involved the collection of sediment and soil data at different locations, considering hydrological patterns and geological units in the catchments. The fieldwork also engaged local communities who were introduced to the project and mobilised for active participation. The field data went through analyses to trace metals, which were then used to produce models and maps of the erosion hotspots that contribute most to the sedimentation of Sebeya and Ruhwa Rivers in Rwanda and Muhira River in Burundi. The three river systems were selected based on stakeholder workshop recommendations, but also by considering the hydropower production and other complementary projects (Sebeya), sediment load (Muhira) and contrasting land use (Ruhwa). • Engaged and empowered communities at these sites to work towards reducing erosion and sedimentation using well-established ecosystem-based adaptation and soil conservation techniques. In addition, at each river system, two local conservation groups collected sediment and soil data samples. • Analysed existing policies and laws, and proposed improvements to law enforcement and compliance methods. • Held a regional workshop in Gisenyi, Rwanda that was attended by 39 participants, from the project partners (BirdLife, ABN, ACNR, HN and WCS, Anton Seimon – Appalachian State University, USA), the Lake Kivu and Rusizi River Basin Authority (ABAKIR), and various representatives from government, NGOs, and the private sector from Burundi, DRC, Rwanda and Tanzania. • The Association Burundaise pour la Protection de la Nature (ABN) held workshops in Burundi involving 53 community members, to identify challenges and develop climate adaptation plans. • At least 267 community members were engaged in setting up tree nursery beds with 834,000 seedlings in Ruhwa and Muhira Catchments of Lake Tanganyika basin. ABN also provide around 5,000 fruit trees to communities in Murwi and Mugina Communes of Cibitoke Province.

Description:
Adaptation to climate change will also require transformative thinking and doing. The Resilience Institute is co-creating participatory initiatives – in close collaboration with Indigenous peoples – that weave Indigenous and scientific knowledge to develop Local Early Action Plans on climate adaptation. Case examples provided are from initiatives in two First Nations in Canada (the Kainai First Nation and Piikani First Nation) and from a collaborative in South Africa with South African National Parks, the South African Agricultural Research Collaborative with the Nama peoples living adjacent to protected areas. The process for including Indigenous peoples in the design of Local Early Action Plans is both replicable and scalable. Implications of this work could be beneficial to practitioners and policymakers hoping to advance climate action through initiatives that weave local knowledge with scientific findings, provided there is a strong commitment to a long-term iterative process and in working together through the complexities of weaving knowledges that are from different epistemological origins. In all example communities, the LEAP journey started with a series of climate change education workshops and dialogues. This process involved listening to participants’ observations, concerns, and ideas for resilience building. Though different in each community, engagements included formal education workshops, presentations, and community conversations. The engagements helped to prepare a wide range of community members for more technical planning, build momentum and engage decision makers. A Local Early Action Plans is a simple plan that can be used to guide local actions that an Indigenous community can take to start addressing climate change impacts as they develop a more comprehensive Climate Action Plans. LEAPs help generate: • A portfolio of strategies and actions to better manage the priority threats and opportunities—whether improvements to existing strategies, new strategies and actions, or a combination of both. • A list of immediate strategies and actions to be considered for implementation—i.e., those strategies and actions anticipated to be the most urgent and feasible to conduct. • Basic information on actions to support decision-making for implementation. Direct access to the case study can be found here: Weaving Indigneous and Scientific Knowledges_TRI.L S Lynes.June 2020.pdf

Though different in each community, engagements included formal education workshops, presentations, and community conversations. The engagements helped to prepare a wide range of community members for more technical planning, build momentum and engage decision makers.

Description:
The National Adaptation Geoinformation System (NAGiS) is a multipurpose geo-information system that can facilitate the policy-making, strategy-building and decision-making processes related to the impacts of climate change. The system provides information for central, territorial and local administration, for municipalities, for environmental engineers (to develop environmental impact assessments), for the scientific community – and also for all who are interested – about the past and expected future effects of climate change on related fields (agriculture, forestry, water management, tourism, health etc.) and about differences in climate vulnerability within the country. The promoter of the NAGiS project is the Mining and Geological Survey of Hungary (MGSH), which is a governmental institution aiming at supporting the Ministry responsible for energy and climate policy. The system establishment had two phases. The first phase was supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and was implemented between 2014 and 2016. It was aiming at creating the toolkit and uploading several vulnerability assessment results, which were generated by MGSH and the project partners. The second phase – between 2016-2020 – aimed to integrate a large group of new dataset into the system and to create some specific decision support systems for local decision-making. Tha NAGiS has three main pillars: the map visualization system contain hundreds of layers, which show the way different aspects of climate change can affect certain areas of the country. The map visualization system is publicly available without restriction. The GeoDat is a database containing the calculation results based on modelling (exposure, sensitivity, expected impact, adaptive capacity, and vulnerability) with hundreds of data layers. This database-management application was designed for NAGiS with a supporting background database, built in a standardized system. Its content partially overlaps with the map-based database, but it is much more expanded. It is available only for registered users. The metadata system enables users to find the information they need in the quickest possible way. It facilitates navigation through different kinds of information by a complex search interface. In addition, also the new decision support applications are part of the system and the studies and information materials created within the framework of the project are available on the website. The system started providing data in 2016 and ever since it is under development, aiming at improving its tools and data set. The result of the project is – in addition to the database – that NAGiS has started to integrate into the climate-related decision-making in different spatial levels. Our goal is to make NAGiS a widely used system, that can facilitate many different tasks of climate related decision making, and that can constantly innovate and integrate new information and data.

Description:
This ‘real life’ introduction provides information for using evaluations to identify national priorities cross-sectoral needs - including those on adaptation and mitigation - as part of progress on the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is based on emerging country experience from North and South, as well as wider past learning on sustainable development evaluation. Rather than a one-size-fits-all manual, this guide seeks to support evaluation commissioners, managers and professional evaluators to create tailored plans and approaches to SDG evaluation. It argues that a successful evaluation must be both built around existing national context and underpinned by the principles of the 2030 Agenda. Link to this guide: https://pubs.iied.org/17739IIED/

Framing and tracking 21st century climate adaptation. Monitoring, evaluation and learning for Paris, the SDGs and beyond

Description:
This approach provides a framework (CAMEL) for countries to identify and track their adaptation needs. Current trends suggests global warming is likely to exceed 2°C by mid-century. The Paris Agreement and the 2030 deadline for meeting the SDGs provide a framework for adaptation action in the short term, but beyond that, incremental approaches will need to be complemented by transformational adaptation involving the radical restructuring, replacement or abandonment of systems, processes and practices that are no longer viable under new climatic conditions. There is an urgent need for frameworks to help countries meet their adaptation obligations under the Paris Agreement while preparing for warming that breaches the Paris temperature thresholds. Countries will need to track their adaptation activities to determine what does and does not work, identify good practice, and capture lessons that can inform adaptation planning, design and implementation. They will also need to report on these activities at the global level. We have created a framework for developing climate adaptation monitoring, evaluation and learning systems, or CAMELS, that can support countries in all of these tasks.

Description:
Globally, there is increasing recognition of the need to track climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction progress. But the ability of countries and development partners to do this is constrained by the complex nature of adaptation and the absence of measurable outcomes or indicators to judge adaptation and its effects on a country’s overall development. This report documents and draws some lessons from the highly participatory, year-long, bottom-up process to develop climate change indicators for inclusion in Uganda’s existing local and national monitoring and evaluation tools and frameworks.

Description:
Participatory resource mapping enables communities to articulate their knowledge of their surrounding physical environment. Using this method, they can map out in detail the resources they depend on, the qualities they attribute to these resources, who uses them, who depends on them and how they manage them. Communities can use participatory mapping with equal effect in rural and urban environments. Through participatory resource mapping, external actors — such as government planners, NGO staff or researchers — can facilitate a process where individuals or groups within a community articulate their knowledge, which is often invisible to outsiders. This enables collaborative discussion within and across groups about solutions to problems that are felt locally but often driven externally.

Technical document/report
Description:
Countries place elevated expectations on their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) to help build the climate resilience of their development pathways by a) enhancing national and institutional capacities to take the most appropriate and “climate-smart” development decisions in a changing and uncertain environment; and, b) guiding the identification, prioritisation, planning and implementation of concrete, practical activities to reduce climate risks and produce other clear adaptation benefits. Considering the potentially devastating consequences that not addressing climate change in an effective and timely manner could bring to vulnerable countries, tracking progress in national adaptation has become a necessity. It demands that both the NAP process and the adaptation measures undertaken in the framework of the NAP are monitored and, if necessary, adjusted, for reaching the goals established at the outset. This can be achieved through the design and implementation of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) frameworks tailored to national circumstances, priorities and capacities. This document outlines an M&E plan for Saint Lucia’s NAP.

• The application of over 200 climate models that are statistically and dynamically downscaled and applied using the latest ensemble generation methodologies for generation of median and 5th and 95th percentile outputs, therefore more fully embracing the characterisation of uncertainty in future climate models for application in decision making. • Full global coverage at between 1 km and 5 km and 10 km resolution of data for over 50 variables with a strong emphasis on extremes. • The variables cover the atmosphere, land and marine environments of the world. • Key variables include extreme precipitation, applying proprietary internationally published standards for the application of daily global circulation model patterns. • Other extreme event analysis covers multiple approaches to extreme heat events, drought, including the latest global coverage using SPEI methods (Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index), extreme wind analysis, as well as extreme still high-water levels at the coast that include consideration of sea level rise and vertical land movement). • Other derived variables include heat and cooling degree days, cold spell duration, net primary production, snow depth, soil moisture and temperature, and seven ocean variables including sea surface temperature, pH and total alkalinity. • Other easy to use features include a bulk asset import tool whereby hundreds of assets can be imported into the tool and be saved as a project and analysed together for consistency of approach and for generating reports on the fly. The outputs are also exportable as Excel spreadsheets for importation in other third-party analysis products.• Other derived variables include heat and cooling degree days, cold spell duration, net primary production, snow depth, soil moisture and temperature, and seven ocean variables including sea surface temperature, pH and total alkalinity. • Other easy to use features include a bulk asset import tool whereby hundreds of assets can be imported into the tool and be saved as a project and analysed together for consistency of approach and for generating reports on the fly. The outputs are also exportable as Excel spreadsheets for importation in other third-party analysis products. • Graphical and tabular data can be viewed on screen in minutes for all the assets that are analysed including, not only future values, but the changes in the climate variable values from the baseline period. This is critical for assessing the rate of change at locations around the world. • A scientifically robust set of tools can be applied to the physical risk data generated in Climate Insights to produce risk scores and rankings. The CLIMsystems team has developed python code and embedded it into the cloud-base tool for applying TOPSIS (Technique of Order Preference Similarity to the Ideal Solution) and RSR (Rank Sum Ratio) algorithms to the multiple climate risk data to generate overall risk scores for each asset. • TOPSIS and/or RSR can then be applied to rank all the assets in an end user’s portfolio. • Risk scores can also be generated by applying either a K-mean method or the Jenks-Break method. • All the results for the risk scoring and ranking activities can be easily exported as an Excel spreadsheet. Physical risk assessment data can be exported as PDF or Excel files and includes graphs and tables. • Supporting the cloud-based tools use is an extensive on-line help document. • The final critical point of difference between Climate Insights and many tools in this space is the complete and exhaustive documentation that provides clear and concise explanations of all the data and methods applied in generating each output.

Description:
The application of environmental flow (EF) tool which is designed in consideration with data availability in river basins of Paraguay represents the first phase of this assistance. This tool will assist the authorities to develop the ntegrated water resource management (IWRM) plans with the identification of relevant adaptive measures. The Tebicuary River Basin is proposed as an on-the-job training where associated data are used to train stakeholders to understand the EF tool. Access to this tool: https://www.ctc-n.org/technical-assistance/projects/application-environmental-flows-and-river-basin-management-framework
Outcome:
• Control of flows, water intakes and discharges, which will result in a conserved and resilient environment • The sustainability of the water resource, the regulation of water exploitation, and the guarantee of access, use, management, control and enjoyment of resource to the entire population • The study of flooding in the Tebicuary river basin will reduce the vulnerability to floods by a 20% (around 112,000 inhabitants) • In this assistance, these contributions will have a direct impact on the Tebicuary River Basin population (around 560,000 inhabitants), but afterwards, the replicability of the tools in other basins will extend these benefits for all the country.

Description:
Experience of the Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) Facility- methodologies and case studies of LoCAL countries. LoCAL combines performance-based climate resilience grants (PBCRGs), which ensure programming and verification of climate change expenditures at the local level, with technical and capacity-building support. It is designed to re-enforce existing national and sub-national financial and fiscal delivery systems, and it uses the demonstration effect to trigger further flows for local adaptation — including national fiscal transfers and global climate finance for local authorities — through their central governments. LoCAL aims to promote climate change–resilient communities and economies by increasing financing for and investment in climate change adaptation at the local level in LDCs and other countries.

Description:
This is a simple, adaptable tool to measure and monitor climate adaptation in the agricultural sector, and allows comparison of adaptation efforts between farms and within farms over time. The tool is also good to make decisions on resource allocation and technical support for climate-smart farming practices, as it shows where the potential for improvement. With increasing climate change impact and risks, Solidaridad envisions that climate-relevant programs will measure and report on farmers adaptation progress. Solidaridad has started to scale up the CSI adopting across the globe and across various agricultural commodities. The application of CSI is currently active in 5 Solidaridad projects covering more than 50,000 sugarcane, cotton, coffee and cocoa farmers covering almost 500,000 ha. The CSI is a pragmatic solution to fulfil the multiple needs and benefits of adaptation progress monitoring, effectiveness and reduced climate change-related supply chain risks.

Description:
Asia is a hotspot of climate change impacts and disasters and one of the most highly vulnerable regions in the world. Achieving sustainable development entails climate change adaptation and mitigation and the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research, APN, is committed to helping the region address the challenges brought about by climate change. This is done by supporting research and capacity development activities that facilitate science-based decision- and policy-making.
Outcome:
The knowledge base in the region covering new climate information, policy gaps, and lessons learned are crucial and should be widely disseminated particularly to practitioners and policymakers. In this regard, a Special Issue “Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability, and Adaptation: Asian Perspective” that highlights findings of APN projects was recently published with Dr Sangam Shrestha (AIT), Dr Linda Anne Stevenson (APN), Dr Rajib Shaw (Keio University) and Dr Juan Pulhin (UPLB) as editors. It is hoped that this information will be usefull for the IPCC AR6 as well as adaptation stakeholders.

Severe weather bringing typhoons and flooding increases risk for businesses and is a burden for many entrepreneurs especially micro business holders. Based on a case study on tourism and hospitality sectors in Kratie, Cambodia, micro business holders cope with climate impacts by adopting temporary and reactive responses rather than long-term systematic measures.
Outcome:
Findings of the study suggest that adaptation measures and policies need to be location- and time-specific. Further, our study has shown that through opportunistic behaviors and climate-smart diversification strategies some businesses may gain an advantage over others during a disaster.

The study concludes that micro businesses are characterized by unique internal and external environments that national and regional policies and strategies may not have sufficiently addressed to date. In terms of policy implications, the shortage of information and knowledge about specific climatic risks and government support options should be tackled if micro businesses are to bolster their climate resilience and develop more anticipatory and long-term adaptation. strategies.

Description:
Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam has undergone tremendous transformation in land-use practices in the past few decades. The groundwater-related issues have also been a major concern in the fast-growing southern city of Vietnam. Quantitative prediction of the impact on groundwater recharge due to changes in the land-use pattern of a watershed is crucial in developing sound groundwater management schemes. This study aims to evaluate the impacts of change in land-use patterns on the quantity of groundwater recharge in HCMC. An empirical land-use projection model (Conversion of Land-use and its Effects, Dyna-CLUE) and a hydrological model (Soil and Water Assessment Tool, SWAT) was used for the study.
Outcome:
Three future land-use scenarios of Low Urbanization Scenario (LU), Medium Urbanization Scenario (MU) and High Urbanization Scenario (HU) were developed in Dyna-CLUE focusing on the increase of built-up area to generate land-use maps of HCMC until the year 2100. The land-use maps for all three scenarios were then used in the calibrated hydrological model SWAT to get the future recharge in the near future (2016–2045), mid future (2046–2075) and far future (2076–2100). The recharge was observed to increase in the far future of LU by 10% while reduction of 30% and 52% in annual average recharge was observed in far future of MU and HU respectively. It was, thus, observed that change in the built-up area has a significant effect on the groundwater recharge in HCMC.

Based on the changed land-use, the SWAT model was used to estimate the future recharge in the three scenarios that were developed. The recharge was observed to increase by a maximum of 15% of the annual average in the low urbanization scenario while it was observed to reduce by a maximum of 30.21% of the annual average in medium urbanization scenario. In the high urbanization scenario, the majority of HCMC is expected to be covered in built-up area which will have a significant impact on the groundwater recharge in HCMC with a maximum decrease of 52.15% in the average annual recharge in far future. Thus, a significant impact on the groundwater recharge was observed in HCMC due to changes in the impervious built-up area. Therefore, a rigid regulation on land-use planning in terms of high urbanization in the future should be followed in HCMC to minimize the effect of high urbanization on the groundwater recharge and other environmental consequences.

Description:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published its Climate Change and Land: An IPCC Special Report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems in August 2019. The Special Report was a response to proposals from governments and observer organisations to the IPCC. It assesses the existing science to date on how greenhouse gases are released and absorbed by land-based ecosystems, and the science on land use and sustainable land management in relation to climate change adaptation and mitigation, desertification, land degradation and food security. The findings are of great importance to decision-makers across South Asia and the world. Now CDKN – with ODI, SSN and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia – has launched a new publication: The IPCC’s Special Report on Climate Change and Land: What’s in it for South Asia? The IPCC’s own Summary for Policy-Makers focuses principally on global issues and trends. This report distils the richest material available on South Asia from the 1,300 pages of the Special Report. Some of the IPCC’s key messages, which are explored in the CDKN guide include: The climate and land interact with and influence each other. Dryland areas are expected to become more vulnerable to desertification in South Asia. Desertification has implications for food security and poverty in South Asia. Community and policy responses can combat and degradation. Managing land, value chains and climate risks can deliver climate adaptation, mitigation and development benefits. Insecure property rights and lack of access to credit and agricultural advisory services hamper progress – especially by women. The skills and knowledge of women and marginalised groups are not yet sufficiently recognised. Integrated governance is needed to maximise the benefits of land and water. Emissions reductions in other sectors are vital to relieve pressure on land. The publication is not an official IPCC publication, as it has not been through the comprehensive governmental approval process that IPCC endorsement requires. However, the expert research team has benefited from review by IPCC lead authors in their personal capacities and other expert reviewers to ensure fidelity to the original report. The CDKN publication also includes supplementary material from recently published research that extends and explains the points made in the IPCC’s Special Report. This guide responds to widespread demand among CDKN’s South Asian partner networks for region-specific information.

Description:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published its Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate in September 2019. The ‘cryosphere’ refers to the frozen parts of the Earth, including snow, glaciers, ice sheets and ice shelves, icebergs and sea ice, ice on lakes and rivers as well as permafrost and seasonally frozen ground. The Special Report was a response to proposals from governments and observer organisations to the IPCC. For its preparation, more than 100 scientists from more than 30 countries assessed “the latest scientific knowledge about the physical science basis and impacts of climate change on ocean, coastal, polar and mountain ecosystems, and the human communities that depend on them”[IPCC factsheet]. Communities’ vulnerabilities and adaptation capacities and the options for achieving climate-resilient development pathways were also assessed. The Special Report’s findings are of great importance to South Asia and the world. As described by the IPCC: “All people on Earth depend directly or indirectly on the ocean and cryosphere. Human communities in close connection with coastal environments, small islands (including Small Island Developing States, SIDS), polar areas and high mountains are particularly exposed to ocean and cryosphere change, such as sea level rise, extreme sea level and shrinking cryosphere. Other communities further from the coast are also exposed to changes in the ocean, such as through extreme weather events. The low-lying coastal zone is currently home to around 680 million people, projected to reach more than one billion by 2050. Around 670 million people including Indigenous peoples, live in high mountain regions.” Now CDKN – with ODI, SSN and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia – has launched a new publication: The IPCC’s Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate: What’s in it for South Asia? The IPCC’s own Summary for Policy-Makers focuses principally on global issues and trends. This report distils the richest material available on South Asia from the more than 700 pages of the Special Report. The CDKN publication also includes supplementary material from recently published research that extends and explains the points made in the IPCC’s Special Report. This guide responds to widespread demand among CDKN’s South Asian partner networks for region-specific information. Some of the IPCC’s key messages, which are explored in the CDKN guide include: Climate change driven by human activity is changing the temperature and chemistry of the oceans. These changes harm marine life and people who depend on it. Sea level rise and other climate hazards increasingly affect South Asia. The frozen lands in high mountain Asia are changing, with implications for society. The best way to limit changes in the oceans and cryosphere is to mitigate climate change. Early action reduces climate risks and costs less than dealing with future damages. Future-proofing coastal development will be essential. Environmental governance and management must join up across scales and address social issues. Communications, education and capacity building are critical. The publication is not an official IPCC publication, as it has not been through the comprehensive governmental approval process that IPCC endorsement requires. However, CDKN’s guide has been through a robust review process by internal and external experts.

Description:
Bio-dyke is a bio engineering measure to manage and control flood water movement such as redirecting flood run-off through the use of flood walls and flood gates. This technology for controlling riverine floods is useful when there is no immediate need of heavy engineering works or a community is unable to afford construction of heavy engineering structures like gabion wall, retaining walls, concrete dykes, among others. So far the cost of construction and maintenance of bio-dyke is significantly cheaper than construction of concrete structures making them more suitable for developing countries. The constructions of bio-dykes require simple understanding of the technology while local resources can be used in its construction. Hence, they can be implemented by local people in remote parts of poor countries.
Outcome:
Biodykes can reduce flood risk and help local communities unlock the triple dividend of resilience; 1) Mitigate the flood risk 2) Unlock local investment as security is increased 3) Provide co-benefits in the form of timber, fruit trees, handicraft materials as well as aesthetic values But they work best when designed and constructed by local communities.

Description:
The first phase of the project was implemented from 2012 to 2014 while the second phase was in 2015-2018 in two catchments – Lower Tana and Aswa Agago in Kenya and Uganda respectively. The areas are arid and semi-arid in nature, with communities within the catchments facing multiple challenges related to droughts, floods and resource-use conflicts that hinder development and livelihood well-being. The project aimed at building the resilience of dryland communities within the river catchments to the impacts of increasingly severe and frequent droughts. Project has scaled up to a third phase – Resilience for People and Landscapes Programme (REPLAP) which builds on the successes of BDR 2 within the landscapes. REPLAP will consolidate and scale up gains in building resilience of communities to climate disasters, improving governance and management of natural resources while securing the livelihoods of the communities within five additional districts in Uganda and four additional sub-catchments in Kenya. The adaptive-capacity approach was used in the project where the communities were closely involved in the design and development of adaptation measures ranging from livelihood diversification, interfacing formal governance structures with customary institutions to adoption of climate-resilient financing for sustained ecosystem restoration. The adaptation strategy was closely linked to the IUCN Resilience Framework which has four main pillars; (a) diversity of the economy, (b) livelihoods and nature, (c) sustainable infrastructure and technology, and (d) self-organization and learning. Indicators: Number of: (a) livelihood diversification activities supported through CECF implementation, (b) water infrastructures that enhance access and balanced pasture and browse utilization and sustainable domestic use developed and maintained, (c) ENRMPs developed, (d) of resource maps developed, (e) capacity building workshops held, (f) local level policies and legislation developed on natural resource management, and (g) action learning events held. The strategy was evaluated against the four Resilience Framework Pillars for respective project result areas.
Outcome:
The project successfully built the resilience of over 150,000 people. The project developed 8 micro-catchment management plans which supported the restoration of over 168km of degraded river banks and 400 ha of degraded landscapes. In Uganda most of the wetlands in the project area experienced notable levels of restoration, with additional impacts of increased water and pasture for livestock. The project built 2 sub-surface dams and 127 water sources with functional Water Resources Users’ Associations and committees. The water sources provided clean and safe water to over 40,000 people within the project landscapes. Environmental conservation and restoration was achieved through support for alternative livelihood strategies under the CECF. Over 30,000 community members directly the CECF to support their livelihood initiatives of which majority were women and youth. The involvement of women in action-learning events ensured that women were properly represented in documentation and dissemination of best practices and uptake of lessons from the project.

a) The project supported action learning and lessons learnt events; enabling learning and modification of approaches used in fine-tuning work plans. Action learning supported practical transfer of skills and knowledge through peer based learning with a focus on governance, landscape restoration and livelihood improvement. b) Involvement of all stakeholders and different groups in the community promoted a strong sense of ownership of project activities; including involvement in development of environment and natural resource management plans (ENRMP) and resource maps. This has built a sustainable mechanism that has secured the gains beyond the project location and lifespan. c) Livelihood diversification was supported through piloting the Community Environment Conservation Fund (CECF) which is an innovative mechanism that supports restoration of catchments while providing sustainable livelihood packages to beneficiaries. The CECF saw an increase in investments in small business initiatives by communities, with most enterprises having a positive effect on environmental protection, conservation and restoration. d) The project effectively strengthened the governance and management of natural resources by empowering formal and customary governance structures and platforms that promoted learning, knowledge sharing and capacity building in for sustainable landscapes.

Description:
Ecosystem-based adaptation involving rehabilitation of critical rangeland and wetland ecosystems in the Succulent Karoo, South Africa. The EbA rangeland and wetland rehabilitation initiatives described in this paper allowed communities to maintain or improve their adaptive capacity or resilience, and reduce their vulnerability, in the face of climate change. The initiatives were able to benefit vulnerable groups, especially those relying on pastoralism for their livelihoods. The EbA initiatives also restored, maintained or enhanced the capacity of ecosystems to continue to produce services for local communities, and allowed ecosystems to better withstand climate change impacts and other stressors. However, improvements in ecosystem service provision from rangeland restoration were much less apparent than from wetland restoration. EbA rangeland restoration was not financially viable from the perspective of landowners. EbA approaches (rangeland and wetland restoration) were also considerably more expensive than other adaptation options. Effectiveness evaluated using methodology described in Reid et al. 2018, Reid et al 2017 In short, this assesses effectiveness in three areas: Effectiveness for human societies, effectiveness for ecosystem and financial and economic effectiveness: Is EbA cost effective and economically viable over the long term? It also looks at what social, institutional and political issues influence the implementation of effective EbA initiatives and how might challenges best be overcome.
Outcome:
Numerous social co-benefits emerged from the EbA initiatives, and few costs. Despite the lack of financial viability for the landowner, EbA options provide many broader economic benefits such as job creation, providing a strong economic case for wider application using government funding channeled through South Africa’s expanded public works programmes.

Project activities built on local knowledge and adopted a range of participatory processes, which helped build adaptive capacity. Few social trade-offs were observed, but because of the slow nature of rangeland restoration, the associated gains in resilience took time to accrue. Similarly, whilst few trade-offs in terms of ecosystem service provision were observed, ecosystem-related benefits from rangeland restoration took several years to emerge. It may also be that semi-arid Succulent Karoo ecosystems have thresholds relating to overgrazing or climate change, which if crossed could lead to irreversible change. A number of policy and institutional barriers influenced the implementation of effective EbA initiatives at local, provincial and national levels, most notably the lack of local government authority to implement EbA, inadequate policy support at the provincial level, insufficient cross-sectoral collaboration at all levels, knowledge gaps, funding shortages, low capacity levels, weak institutional effectiveness and high levels of poverty. A number of policy and institutional opportunities also supported EbA implementation at local, provincial and national levels, most notably local government capacity, a supportive national and provincial legislative and policy environment, and opportunities for integrating EbA into expanded public works programmes. These programmes provide great potential for scaling up EbA implementation and moving away from stand-alone EbA projects with limited and locale-specific impacts. Mainstreaming is also occurring as EbA is incorporated into various national policymaking and planning processes in South Africa. Tools and guidance have been developed to support this process.

Description:
The Adaptation Consortium aims to prepare county governments to access global climate finance in order to support adaptation and climate resilient development, and to mainstream mechanisms that allow communities to prioritise investments in public goods that build their resilience to climate change.
Outcome:
A wide range of social co-benefits emerged from ICCCF-funded rangeland management improvements. These included improved local natural resource management, conflict resolution, community cohesion, more employment opportunities, enhanced natural resource management skills, improved diets and improved health. Trade-offs in terms of who benefitted and also where and when these social co-benefits materialised appeared to be minimal. There are a great number of broader economic benefits emerging from ICCCF investments in Isiolo, such as insurance for disasters, option value (similar to insurance or having savings), income substitution for reduced expenditure, capital for investment and access to credit. There may also be avoided costs and avoided losses from EbA implementation. Economic benefits look likely to materialise fast and last for a long time. Possible financial trade-offs included losses suffered by neighbouring communities with reduced access to water, and by extension pasture.

Community involvement and participation has been actively sought throughout all stages of ICCCF design and implementation, and has been formalised in management structures and decision-making processes. This has allowed local people to retain control of responses to their development and adaptation priorities. Participatory livelihood and local economy resilience assessments helped identify possibly investments. Supporting WCCPSs’ customary range management institutions (dedhas) was an integral part of the ICCCF, and by supporting traditional management institutions, local knowledge was also prioritised. The strong levels of participation throughout the ICCCF process were central to building local resilience, but this required facilitation and capacity building to ensure success. Effective rangeland management requires jurisdiction over large areas, but administrative boundaries and the imposition of different tenure and land use systems can disrupt pastoralist mobility and their ability to manage stock effectively. Catchment-level planning is also important to ensure pastoralist access to water in this dry area. Continued provision of ecosystem services from the rangelands for pastoralism thus requires landscape-level management approaches. ICCCF investments operated at the level of Isiolo County, so whilst the scale of operation was large, the area was still limited by administrative boundaries. Measuring value for money or returns on investment is difficult in Isiolo because the people are highly mobile and many benefits are difficult to quantify. Pastoral production systems have historically been undervalued as a land use choice, in part because it is not easy to measure and quantify the full benefits they provide. Quantifying the broader economic benefits of ecosystem services and pastoral production systems is even harder than quantifying the immediate direct benefits. As a result, their true value is often overlooked. A number of social, institutional and political issues influenced ICCCF implementation. Key challenges at the local level related to basic infrastructure and services provision in Isiolo, the historical mismanagement of water and grazing resources, and the disconnect between communities and formal governance systems. A general lack of arid and semi-arid land ecosystem knowledge amongst government staff at the county level proved challenging. This has led to under-investment in pastoralism. Poor access to climate information and limited capacity to track the impact of adaptation interventions has also been challenging at the county level, as has securing county-level government support and the necessary multi-sectoral coordination. At the national level, a historical legacy of limited and often inappropriate development in Kenya’s drylands has left them impoverished and with weak institutions for governance and planning. Centralised planning systems have also meant that coordination and communication have been poor, and planning inflexible. The true value of ecosystems is also poorly understood. There are, however, a number of social, institutional and political opportunities that have supported ICCCF implementation in Isiolo. Local institutions (ie WCCPCs and dedha) are now strong, empowered and heavily engaged in adaptation planning. This required considerable investment at first, but legitimising and supporting local institutions in this way has meant communities are now in control of designing and supporting initiatives to meet their development and adaptation needs. County-level support for addressing climate change and supporting ICCCF processes is apparent. Governance and coordination is strong at the county level. At the national level, Kenya has a number of policies and institutions that support climate change planning. A national commitment to devolution has also provided opportunities to enhance community participation in decision making and support community land ownership, both of which are cornerstones of ICCCF effectiveness.

Description:
Since 2013, four mountain Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) measures have been designed and are being implemented in the Nor Yauyos-Cochas Landscape Reserve (NYCLR) through participatory processes. These adaptation solutions combine traditional (indigenous), local knowledge with the latest science and comprised three components: (1) Strengthening community organizations and institutions, (2) Strengthening local capacities and knowledge and (3) Combining green and grey infrastructure to restore water flow to native grasslands/pastures and improve livestock and pastureland management--a key adaptation to climate change in the Andes. Working with conservationists, engineers and anthropologists, community members identified and designed the EbA measures according to their own needs and priorities, adapting ancestral and modern technologies to current social and environmental contexts and expected future climate. Mountain EbA measures were designed, implemented and monitored from 2013 to 2015 during the mountain EbA flagship program. From 2017 to 2020 the measures are being consolidated, and monitoring system is being revised.
Outcome:
Traditional cost-benefit analysis in Miraflores community show a benefit-cost rate of 1.44 (with project and with climate change), with an intern return rate of 25%. After the measure consolidation more benefits were verified but still not evaluated in economic terms. Co benefits include reduction of pasture fires due to the pasture’s irrigation practices, changes in the animal species owned by community members, prioritizing camelids with better fiber price and causes less damage to pastures, among others.

Participatory processes during the planning, implementing, and monitoring phases, recovering traditional knowledge, is one of the most important strengths, being a key aspect to reach community ownership and sustainability. Running a second project phase, with objectives that include consolidating the EbA measures, gave the opportunity to allocate more time and resources to processes that take usually more than two years’ time. It was a strength. Communities’ dynamics are different, requiring different intervention efforts to reach success. One of the project challenges is being able to meet those different demands. Institutional approaches reach different impacts in working with communities, being a challenge to build synergies to improve the community’s livelihood.

Description:
Since 2014, Bishnupur community forest user group (CFUG) in Sarlahi district of Nepal has been implementing strategies to improve their resilience to climate change and natural disasters. These strategies aim to increase household income and reduce vulnerability through nature-based solutions that tackle flooding and river bank cutting. The community assessed the sources of climate vulnerability, possible nature-based solutions and alternative livelihood options. They collectively identified and implemented nature-based adaptation interventions and livelihood activities that were most appropriate for their needs. The community chose to promote the exp[ansion of tree cover both in and outside forests to protect and restore the environment. Along with this, the community focuses on cultivating bees hives and collecting honey, as a way to support forest biodiversity and generate income, particularly for women.
Outcome:
The effectiveness can be described through four broad indicators. Enhanced adaptive capacity: The adaptive capacity of the forest and local communities has been enhanced. Forest management based on CF operational plans and the rehabilitation of degraded land and river banks with native species has improved the forest condition; bioengineering measures have protected agriculture land from floods, sustaining and improving productivity, and have also rehabilitated degraded land. Households are diversifying their income sources from beekeeping and agroforestry; and they are also enjoying the reduced impacts of river cutting. Empowerment to local community: The local community, including women and the extremely poor, have a greater understanding of climate impacts, sources of vulnerability and nature-based adaptation strategies. This means that they can continue working by themselves and support their neighbors as they identify sources of vulnerability and appropriate adaptation measures. Institutionalization and sustainability: The implementation of adaptation measures through community based organizations such as CFUGs has institutionalized this adaptation project, allowing activities to continue after the discontinuation of the external support. The CFUGs have continued to engage with local governments, relevant government agencies and other development organizations to access technical and financial support and design and implement adaptation strategies. Scale out: The approach has influenced many larger donor-funded projects, including Green Climate Fund (GCF) Chure Rehabilitation Project. This project has replicated the Trees and Bees approach in a number of areas in the foothills of Chure, including in the nearby Pragatishil community forest. The Bishnupur CFUG is also sharing knowledge with other CFUGs to facilitate replication.

The project has following lessons learned : ● The Bishnupur CFUG is women-led, which demonstrates that women can play an effective role in natural resource management as well as fighting climate change. ● A CFUG is a legally recognized community based organization (CBO). Implementing climate change adaptation activities through them would be an appropriate strategy for the sustainability of the project. ● As a CBO, CFUG coordinated with local authorities and integrated climate change adaptation into local development plans and programs. This ensured the sustainability of the adaptation project. ● Communities select the adaptation measures based on their traditional knowledge and available resources such as native species (Dalbergia sissoo and Acacia catechu) plantation in the river bank with controlled grazing and fire. The measures of their interest also increase their participation. Nature-based solutions, blended with traditional practices, are socially, ecologically and economically sustainable. ● Restoration of degraded land can be linked with income generating activities without harvesting forest products; beekeeping is one such example. This can provide an immediate return to the community while restoring degraded areas. ● The CFUG has their own monitoring mechanism, and has promoted participatory monitoring activities such as public auditing. This helps to ensure transparency as well as improve the program and participation of vulnerable groups.

Description:
Myanmar hosts diverse ecosystems and provides habitat to various flora and fauna. However, due to impacts of anthropogenic drivers and climate change these ecosystems are undergoing degradation and loss. Deforestation, forest degradation, soil erosion and forest fire are some of the key issues affecting the biodiversity, forest ecosystems and water availability in Myanmar. Frequent forest fires negatively impact the health of the catchment that provides ecosystem service to the community and also adds sedimentation in the local ponds decreasing the life of ponds as they are the main sources for water for domestic and animal use during dry season. Considering the large dependence of local communities on these forests actions were realised to build resilience of these forest ecosystems. ICIMOD initiated the Rural Livelihoods and Climate Change Adaptation in the Himalayas Project (Himalica) in 2013 and focussed on cost effective and sustainable catchment conservation measures involving multi stakeholder’s participation. Long term participatory land management strategies were initiated to restore degraded land and forest through community forest, afforestation and soil conservation measures in partnership with Forest Department and the indigenous communities of PAO. Building on Himalica’s effort ICIMOD initiated the Resilient Mountian Solutions (RMS) initiative in 2018 to strengthen the government community connect in Myanmar. Capacity of communities was built by organizing trainings and awareness programs such as a) community based watershed management training along with different methods of soil erosion control, b) bamboo propagation, c) bio briquette making, d) use of improved cook stove e) Forest nursery establishment. In addtion, participatory micro plans in each project village were prepared and a participatory 3D model -a land use planning tool - was built with the community. As interventions, over 36,000 seedlings of different native species were planted to protect the micro catchments of village common ponds. In addition, Eucalyptus, Avocado, Citrus, and Mango trees were planted in six project villages to develop agroforestry system in the farm land. As bamboo grows naturally in the villages, a bamboo nursery using improved propagation techniques was established. About 3500 bamboo sapling were planted in the catchments. ICIMOD in collaboration with Shan State Forest Department is preparing a Geospatial based ‘’forest fire management plan” for different townships in the State to enhance the preparedness in reducing the forest fire risk using recent technologies alongwith the remote sensing and GIS tools. Institutional capacity building on use of GIS and remote sensing tools and datasets for forest management has helped add new information on forest fire risk assessment and hence support decision makers in better mapping, monitoring and management of forest ecosystems.
Outcome:
Engaging various government departments, NGOS, private sectors and journalist from the initiation of the activities was effective to connect them with communities and to receive advisory services after the project tenure and to sustain the conservation approaches. Demonstrated forest and catchment conservation measures helped improving biodiversity, reduce soil erosion, and improved water quality and quantity. Project activities were evaluated by government departments by visiting the site in a regular basis, strengths and weakness of implementation approach and technical aspects were identified and corrected immediately after the field visit and evaluation.

Micro plans and 3D model helped communities to initiate, plan and manage their forest, water and other natural resources. Several trainings to communities on forest nursery establishment and bamboo propagation and micro catchment conservation were effective to aware ad equip communities on how they can grow their own seedlings for later transplantation to common and private forest areas. Afforestation, soil and water conservation measures applied in micro catchments helped reduce soil erosion and improve water quantity and quality of ponds. Agroforestry activities supported communities in conservation, plantation of fruit trees in their farm land that helped increase additional income in the long run. Demonstration and promotion of improved cook stoves and bio briquette helped to improve household energy use and to protect forest from the over extraction of fire wood. Based on the learnings from Himalica, RMS initiative carried out vulnerability assessment and situation analysis of three villages in the indigenous communities of PAO – Self Aldministered Zone and identified areas for the establishment of community forests. The key institutional challenge in PAO-SAZ is trust deficit between the community and the government. The initiative also focussed on better linkage between Shan forest department and PAO Leading Body, therefore, strenthening the government-community connect for promoting community forestry. Cross-learning visit of forest department of Myanmar, PAO Leading Body and community to Nepal helped undersand and promote the gender responsive community forestry in PAO region in Myanmar. The training programme on forest management enhanced the capacity of forest officials for better planning and management and provided a scientific basis for revising the activities in Forest management plan (2016-2025) as well as developed a forest fire risk assessment map for Shan State.

Description:
The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), the highest mountain biome, also referred as the third pole or the water tower of Asia, is an important repository of biological and cultural diversities and source of varied ecosystems services to 240 million people living within and 1.9 billion in the mountains and downstream. The region with about 60% area as rangeland and 15% forests, the HKH has been in spotlight for being part of the 36 ‘Global Biodiversity Hotspot’ and ‘Crises Ecoregions’ as well as climate change hotspot. However, there is still knowledge gap on understanding the dynamics of changing landscapes and climate and its linkage to people, mostly challenged by poverty. International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), an inter-governmental regional knowledge and enabling centre, has been instrumental in developing better understanding on the dynamics of these fragile ecosystems and support its regional member countries through science based integrated approaches. Since its inception, ICIMOD has been engaged in developing knowledge and supporting policies for mountain development focusing on socio-economic, ecological and environmental dimensions. Since 2007, when the IPCC 4th Assessment report published, two alarming situation prevailed for the HKH. The first, there was a warning signal for fast receding water resources – the glaciers and the second was poor representation of the HKH in global discourses on climate change science and its impacts due to paucity of long term research and monitoring mechanism. This led to the inception of ‘Trans-Himalayan Transects’ and ‘Transboundary Landscape’ approach for research and knowledge based decision making for adaptation and resilience building. The ‘approach’ was widely supported by the member countries of the HKH and since 2009, it became a long term core programme of ICIMOD. The programme envisaged to enhance resilience in the HKH through integrated approach focusing on a) livelihood diversification and poverty alleviation; b) enhancing ecosystem resilience with special emphasis on rangeland, forests, freshwater and agro-ecosystems; c) strengthening governance and institutions; d) promotion of long term interdisciplinary research and e) regional cooperation.
Outcome:
With the conceptual development and progress made so far, outstanding gain were observed in the programme. For the first time, the mountain landscapes were considered for transboundary level cooperation with endorsement of regional documents development through consultative and participatory process. The progress noted increased understanding of dynamic of forests, rangelands, wetlands and agroecosystems in the identified landscapes. Collaboration, exchange of information, expertise and knowledge started to fulfill the common objective of conservation of biodiversity and enhancing resilience capacity of community as well as wildlife. Both horizontal and vertical connectivity corridors were perceived and advocated for species to thrive in changing climate. Platforms were created and made operational for policy level dialogue with tangible outlook and planned interventions. In a nutshell, a strong social-ecological resilience building processed has been established.

The Hindu-Kush Himalaya (HKH) has four biodiversity hotspots defined by higher proportion of threatened species, high endemism, 70% of the original habitat changed and high human pressure. In addition, the prevailing climate change trend showed increasing warming in the Himalayas and high altitude areas with severe impacts on glaciers – the water sources of 1.9 billion people. There are reports of forest degradation, biodiversity loss, vegetation shifting to higher altitudes and colonizing rangelands and occurrence of extreme events of rain, flashfloods, and warm winter. These phenomenon are putting the HKH ecosystems, biodiversity, 240 million people living in the HKH and 1.9 billion people living downstream into vulnerable category. To add on, people in the HKH are poorer than counterparts in lowlands, mal nutrition is rampant and disasters such as floods, landslides and forest fires are making mountain life challenging. The integrated landscape approach that considered social, ecological and environmental dimensions as core area for regional cooperation, the programme also advocates nature based solutions (NbS) to address the emerging challenges including climate change. As defined by IUCN, NbS is “actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits.” The concept is a relatively ‘young’, still in the process of being framed the programme is following its five broad approaches namely: (i) ecosystem restoration approaches; (ii) ecosystem-based adaptation, mitigation, and disaster risk reduction); (iii) green infrastructure approaches; (iv) integrated resources management; and (v) ecosystem protection approach including protected area management. Focus has been on capitalizing on mountain niche products for food and nutrient security and economic development, developing connectivity corridors and restoration of critical ecosystems including rangeland and forests, institutional development, science based decision making and providing platform for policy dialogue and regional cooperation. Inclusive planning, both bottom up and top down dialogue, ownership among the stakeholders and sustained programme interventions based on national and regional priorities are the basis of progress and success.

Description:
The Kangchenjunga Landscape, a transboundary initiative conceived in 2012 by Bhutan, Nepal and India to protect the Mount Kangchenjunga – the world’s third highest mountains, identified a number of challenges and opportunities to rationalize regional cooperation. Among the potentials areas of cooperation, Yak and associated rangelands and an age old culture linked to this lifestyle was identified as one of the focused interventions areas. The Kangchenjunga Landscape Conservation and Development Initiative (KLCDI), a long term programme with 20 year vison document facilitated by International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), an Inter-Government regional knowledge and enabling centre based in Kathmandu, Nepal, is investing in redefining the opportunities that can provide support to marginalized rural communities. Yak (Poephagus gruniens) is the cornerstone of life in high mountain areas. By providing milk, fibre, meat, transport, fuel, and labour for agriculture and tourism, yak form a foundation on which pastoralists are able to support themselves in these hostile environments. The culture and economy around yak rearing have connected people in adjacent parts of Bhutan, India, and Nepal for centuries. The transboundary movement of herders among the highlands of the three countries is an age-old practice important for the prosperity of herding communities and the vitality of their herds. However, the evolving geopolitics, rapid development and climate change have affected pastoral practices by isolating herders and impacting traditional pastures. As a result, the productivity and populations of yak are declining. With limited market opportunities, the younger generation has little interest in pursuing a way of life that involves such hardship. The programme has been focusing on reviving vanishing culture through rangeland management for better productivity of fodders, organizing festivals for awareness, genetic exchange of yak for population viability, diversifying yak based products and market linkage and linking Yak and Yak herding community with tourism for better income.
Outcome:
As the main objectives of the intervention was part of the larger landscape goal to sustain ecosystem services and enhance resilience through conservation of biodiversity and development interventions, Yak has been one of the good success indicators. The programme was able to enhance rangeland productivity through introduction of quality fodder plants in Bhutan which was then taken at national level due to promising result. The interventions on awareness through festivals were also effective to as so far three festivals in Nepal, two in Bhutan have been organized and the first one in Sikkim has been initiated but delayed due to COVID 19. The programme has also been able to bring key stakeholders from all eight countries of the Hindu Kush Himalaya and provided platform for science, policy and practices dialogue. In addition, strengthening of community institutions in Sikkim and formation of national and regional networks for exchange of knowledge and good practices have been initiated. One of the major achievement is the exchange of Yak bull from Bhutan to Nepal and India (Sikkim) to revive the genetic exchange. As an evaluation purpose, three major pillars of sustainability - social, ecological and economic dimensions wee address by putting effort on social security of these marginalized community emphasizing on presentation of rich tradition and culture; conservation interventions and rangeland heath for Yak and its habitat and finally linking it with product diversification and market for economic security. These interventions are increasingly seen as resilience building process for community and the rangeland contributing to social-ecological resilience.

The KLCDI, being a transboundary programme, went through a progressive evolutionary pathways of rigorous interdisciplinary research, participatory planning across scales from local to global, multistakeholder consultation, as well as regional commitment for conservation and development outcomes by the participating countries. Over a period of three years (2012-2015), three countries agreed to cooperate for regional initiative and initiated the feasibility assessment process and consolidated in a Conservation and Development Strategy and Regional Cooperation Framework (RCF) that was agreed upon for implementing the initiative. Yak was identified as one of the key components for regional cooperation. In 2016 with the endorsement of RCF by the respective governments, implementation phase initiated with five year cycle letter of agreements between ICIMOD and the three Governments – Bhutan, India and Nepal. Pilot areas were identified and implementation plans for each pilot areas were developed during 2016 and 2017. During the implementation phase, few strategic focus were prioritized for sustaining the programme. First, the respective Government agencies were sensitize on the state and urgency for interventions on Yak and associated rangelands and age old culture. This was followed facilitating interactive dialogues among the policy makers, herders and government departments. Some of the lessons were bringing all stakeholders on board right from day one of the inception. Rigorous planning and understanding the need based issues, challenges and opportunities. It was also important to think in an integrated manner at landscape level and identify common issues that need regional cooperation for both biodiversity and human wellbeing. The limitations are the young generation being less interested in Yak herding, products are not projected as organic and healthy, and due to less populated area the Government priority is comparatively less. ICIMOD has made a long term programme to revive this culture through strengthening network, technology transfer and cross learning opportunity along with better economic opportunities.

Description:
The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) have launched a new guide for climate change professionals on how to contribute climate change information to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a powerful platform to make climate change information accessible to all. However, people working in the climate change field often overlook Wikipedia as an outreach channel. Researchers typically focus on academic journals, and practitioners often communicate through specialist knowledge portals, publications and mailing lists. However, with more than 20 billion pageviews every month and as one of the most visited websites on the internet, Wikipedia has significantly more reach and impact than any other climate change website or online knowledge portal. Wikipedia can be used to communicate information to a wider and more diverse audience. This guide has been written by communications and knowledge management specialists from CDKN; the Coordination, Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) unit of FCFA; and Kulima Integrated Development Solutions. Our aim is to show that although editing Wikipedia can seem daunting at first, once you are familiar with the Wikipedia style and editing norms, it is relatively easy to contribute. We outline why, in an era of fake news, Wikipedia is a powerful vehicle for sharing more robust, verified climate change information, and making climate knowledge and the latest scientific findings more freely available to the public. We highlight the significant challenges Wikipedia faces in ensuring diversity both in terms of editors and contributions – with a notable lack of women editors and editors from the Global South. We advocate that more female editors and editors from developing countries are critical to make Wikipedia’s information more relevant, localised and representative of the ‘sum of human knowledge’.

"Coastal communities in the Coral Triangle are experiencing the impacts of climate change. Severe storms, coastal inundation, rising sea level and sea surface temperatures are threatening safety and food security of more than 120 million people that depend directly on local marine and coastal resources for their income and livelihoods. Climate change is emerging as a serious issue for our region's communities. The Coral Triangle Initiative for Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) was founded on the commitment of the six Coral Triangle countries (CT6): Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Timor-leste and the Solomon Islands, to accelerate efforts to safeguard the coastal and marine resources and communities. As part of this commitment, the CT6 embodies Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) as one of the five key goals within the CTI-CFF Regional Plan of Action, pledging to implement actions to reduce the impacts of and adapt to climate change"--Introduction.

Description:
The Vulnerability, Consequences, and Adaptation Planning Scenarios (VCAPS) process supports planning by local decision makers concerned about coastal management and climate change vulnerability and adaptation. The VCAPS process is intended to help communities become more resilient to weather and climate change. During VCAPS, community members: - Engage in dialogue about future weather and climate threats. - Summarize and integrate local knowledge and experience about how the community will be impacted. - Identify gaps in data, knowledge, or understanding. - Think strategically about how to prevent harm by taking action in both the short and long term VCAPS builds on concepts of hazard management and vulnerability and uses participatory modeling techniques to organize and document dialogue and learning. Local knowledge and experience is integrated with scientific knowledge. The process is flexible and can be fine-tuned to the interests of participants.

Description:
Tipping Points Planner -Community leaders throughout the Great Lakes basin make long-term management decisions that affect the environmental health of local resources and communities’ quality of life. Protecting natural resources while enhancing resilience requires communities to understand and determine tipping points, which trigger rapid, sometimes irreversible shifts in ecosystem functions. Through Tipping Point Planner, Great Lakes communities can plan sustainable futures by directly linking data to their local decision-making processes.

weTable and CHARM - Using Wii™ technology the weTable transforms an ordinary tabletop into an interactive computer interface. This affordable public participation tool allows teams to collaboratively explore and use computer-based data and programs in a workshop setting. The weTable enhances what people use daily–tables and pens–while the supporting technology works in the background. This allows participants to work with what matters most in a meeting: data, maps, and fellow participants. The weTable is ideal where workshop participants use data and maps to identify and develop planning priorities and strategies. Direct access to this tool/methodology: https://tcwp.tamu.edu/we-table/

Hazard mitigation planning reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of disasters. It begins with state, tribal and local governments identifying natural disaster risks and vulnerabilities that are common in their area. After identifying these risks, they develop long-term strategies for protecting people and property from similar events. Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction.

Description:
This step-by-step approach can be used to create a new conservation plan or update an existing one that incorporates climate change information. It is suitable for anyone working to manage or conserve lands in coastal areas. This includes wetland, floodplain, or emergency managers; planners; or conservation organizations. The six iterative steps draw from existing strategic conservation planning frameworks; however, the steps here focus on climate considerations and key resources relevant to the coastal environment, including coastal watersheds.

Description:
The Adaptation Design Tool of the Corals & Climate Adaptation Planning (CCAP) project was created to help coral reef managers incorporate climate-smart design into their programs and projects at any stage of planning and implementation. The Adaptation Design Tool can be used to incorporate climate change adaptation into management plans using existing planned actions as a starting point, and also to guide development of additional climate-smart strategies as needed. Most managers will be working from existing plans responsive to previously established management objectives, with climate change already taken into account to varying degrees. The Adaptation Design Tool includes worksheets, instructions, and examples as well as information on expanded considerations, resources and lessons learned to support managers in using the tool. Fillable versions of the worksheets are available for download and the Adaptation Design Tool is now featured in an online course that can be accessed here: https://www.coris.noaa.gov/activities/CCAP_design/

Description:
The project site in Bhutan is the Barshong gewog (administrative unit), located in the Tsirang dzongkhag (district) in the south central region of the country. A gewog 249 households (or 2,383 people), spread over an area of 21.2 sq km, of which approximately 53% is under forest cover. As per GNH report of 2013, the Tsirang district has a lower general literacy rate, lower mean annual household income, and higher unemployment rate than the national average. The overall objective of the project was to support the development of mountain rural livelihoods in the context of socio-economic and climate change and the conservation of ecosystem assets and services. As a part of adaption and resilience building efforts, the project in Bhutan put emphasis on sustainable management of land and water with due consideration of different resource management challenges (for example: habitat fragmentation, deforestation, soil fertility decline, overharvesting, haphazard infrastructure development, biodiversity loss, depletion of water resources, human-wildlife conflict, etc.). The intervention started with a comprehensive assessment of the state and dynamics of ecosystems and their services and their nexus with human wellbeing. The pilot interventions were designed based on need and priorities as identified through consultative process and community-led micro-planning. The key interventions included: (i) sustainable land management practices (ii) organic farming with biochar-based organic fertilizer (iii) water management interventions for retention, recharge and reuse of water for irrigation of vegetables; (iv) Capacity building on vegetable, beekeeping and stall-fed goat farming; (v) agro-inputs, including supply of improved breed, grass slips, tree saplings to the farmers; (vi) entrepreneurship development and market linkages for village produce.
Outcome:
More than 240 rural households in the piloted villages directly benefitted through project interventions. According to comparative assessment of baseline and endline surveys, average income of beneficiary households has increased by Nu. 14142.8 [$ 229] from vegetable farming compared to non-beneficiary, and in before-and-after scenario average income of beneficiary households has increased by Nu. 42936.4 [$692] over the period of three years. The beneficial effects of these interventions have been recognized by national and local government agencies and farmers groups. The 12th five year plans (both of local governments and the MoAF) has made provisions to promote number solutions, which were packaged and demonstrated by the project in Barshong, in other areas of the country.

Key takeaways of the project interventions are as follows: More income could provide more options to respond to climate change adaptation, therefore, it is important to identify quick gain activities based on comparative advantages of the location and emerging market opportunities for building resilience of rural households. The targeting on ‘safe for consumption vegetables production’ and ‘stall-fed goat farming’ used as an entry point to ensure community participation in the project in achieving its wider objective of resilience building through sustainable land and water management. The ecosystem services can be well managed when communities discern a tangible livelihood benefit and outcome consequent to a robust resource management approach. With plantation of fodder trees, shift from free-grazing to stall-fed goat farming and number of other sustainable farming practices (e.g. replacing chemical fertilizer and pesticides with composting, biochar and Jholmal) Improved access to services and capabilities (skills & knowledge) to manage resources and create incentives is a fundamental pre-requisite for reducing vulnerabilities of rural households. The active involvement and support of local line agencies is critical for ensuring sustainability of project interventions. Local and national agencies are receptive for scaling up if tangible results can be demonstrated and more so, when communities advocate the benefit of such interventions and seek clear, focused support. This has been the case in Bhutan. Participatory planning, co-development of solution packages, demonstration on farmers field and joint monitoring and feedback mechanism on project progress led to incorporation of project recommendations in 12th five year plan of Bhutan both at local and national level.

u-CLIP - Urban Climate Information Platform for Niamey
Date of submission:

NWPTypeOfKnowledge:
Technical document/report
Description:
The u-CLIP project strives to contribute to strengthening the resilience of African cities to climate change impacts. More specifically, the project aims to (1) the establishment of an open web-based urban climate change information (u-CLIP) platform for Niamey, tailored to suit the needs of local stakeholders and focusing on extreme heat; (2) the uptake of the u-CLIP platform by local actors and the formulation of measures to enhance Niamey’s resilience with respect to the projected impacts of climate change; (3) a plan to achieve a massive upscaling of the u-CLIP platform to cities across the African continent.
Outcome:
The main expected outcome of the project consists of the u-CLIP platform (web dashboard), and a demonstration of its use to support concrete urban resilience measures for Niamey. The platform will provide historic data and future climate projections (horizons 2030, 2050, 2100), downscaled from data contained in the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS) and other sources such as CORDEX-Africa. Apart from basic climate data, the platform will contain derived sectoral climate indicators, such as health indices (number of heatwave days) or indices for the energy sector (degree days), as well as true impact indicators such as excess mortality or cooling energy requirements. The ambition is to achieve a downscaling to a fine spatial resolution where individual buildings and green elements (trees) can be distinguished. While in the u-CLIP project the emphasis will be on extreme heat, the intention is to later expand the platform to include the impact of climate change on floods and drought, among other. Urban climate downscaling will be achieved by means of VITO’s UrbClim model, which dynamically downscales large-scale climate fields, accounting for fine-grained land cover characteristics from satellite imagery and open data sources (OpenStreetMaps, Google Earth). When downscaling future climate, we will consider urban growth scenarios, employing VITO’s GeoDynamix approach to do so. The technology underpinning the proposed platform is unique in its capacity to conduct long-term climate simulations at high spatial resolution while accounting for future urban growth scenarios. Also, the provision of the resulting data as sector-specific indicators that can be dynamically queried through a dedicated dashboard is new. The downscaled urban climate maps will be complemented with measurements of the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), which is a measure for human heat stress. Measurements will be gathered during the course of dedicated campaigns, involving citizens and local organisations to actually collect those measurements along pre-defined trajectories, sampling a variety of urban environments (sunny open spaces, tree shading, …). We will make use of concurrent WBGT and GPS trajectory information (using smartphones) to geolocate the heat stress data on a map and thus allow its inclusion in the platform. The main intended use of the platform is to quantitatively support decision-making related to urban climate resilience measures. For example, it will allow to locate 'hot spots' of extreme heat in the city, and to estimate the impact of certain measures (e.g. tree planting) on human exposure to heat. In addition, the u-CLIP platform will constitute a valuable tool to support the establishment of substantiated applications to international climate funds. While u-CLIP will initially focus on demonstrating the urban climate information platform for Niamey, it is our firm ambition to prepare, during the project’s later stages, a substantial upscaling towards other cities across the African continent.

Description:
The NAP-Ag programme has developed a Guidance Note on how to design a national M&E system for tracking adaptation action, policies and plans, and ultimately report at international, national and sectoral level. In addition, the programme has developed an M&E training package intended to support countries to advance on reporting on M&E for adaptation at sectoral level. The package is organized according to eight training modules, including presentations, exercises and case studies for countries to use during a three- to four-day workshop. The eight thematic modules are: Module 1: Global policy context for climate change adaptation Module 2: Climate change adaptation and agriculture Module 3: Introduction to M&E of adaptation Module 4: Climate change and national policy context Module 5: Adaptation information under the ETF Module 6: Theory of Change for adaptation in the agriculture sector Module 7: Design the M&E Framework Module 8: Indicators for adaptation and agriculture Module 8.1: Process indicators Module 8.2: Vulnerability indices Module 9: Operationalization of the adaptation M&E Framework Please download the modules via http://www.fao.org/in-action/naps/resources/learning/monitoring-and-evaluation-guide/en/. The editiable modules can be shared upon request explaining how they will be used, by sending an email to FAO-NAPs@fao.org .

M&E data should be used to inform ongoing sectoral planning, national adaptation planning and implementation, and decision making at both operational and policy levels. In terms of decision making, M&E results will ideally feed back into an iterative planning and implementation process on adaptation at both sectoral (agriculture ministry) and national (e.g. NAPs) level and, where relevant, into national development processes. These national development processes may in turn feed into reporting on SDGs. Given the iterative nature of adaptation, these plans, policies and programmes should be revised based on the emerging lessons learnt from adaptation M&E. These actions can aid future decision making, including with regards to investments and prioritisation of adaptation options.

Description:
This narrative describes three possible future scenarios for water resources in Burkina Faso and the human and socio-economic impacts that might be experienced by people living in rural areas. The narratives aim to stimulate discussion towards realistic policy responses and the decision support tools needed to assist future planning needs. It is important to recognise that the scenarios do not represent every possible outcome projected by hydroclimate models, and resulting impacts will be contextualised by local circumstances.

Description:
The CAULDRON (Climate Attribution Under Loss & Damage: Risking, Observing, Negotiating) Game is a game designed by the University of Reading (AfClix, Walker Institute) and the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, in partnership with the Red Cross Climate Centre as part of the ACE-Africa (Attributing impacts of external climate drivers on extreme weather in Africa) project. The CAULDRON game aims to foster cross-sector discussion around the science of extreme weather event attribution and its potential for use in policy-making, especially in UNFCCC Loss and Damage Work Programme negotiations. The engaging and fast-paced game encourages players to understand the role of climate change and extreme events against a backdrop of changing risk. Strong emotions arise as players find themselves changing roles and pressured to make fast decisions whilst working together to address challenges such as drought – hence the name “the CAULDRON”. As farmers in either a developed country or in a developing country, players make planting decisions using either a normal or loaded ‘climate’ dice to determine the rainfall. Moving into the shoes of climate scientists, players next find themselves having to address questions about whether climate change has altered the risk of drought in their country and how many of the droughts being experienced might be attributable to climate change. Players can roll a ‘climate model’ dice to understand the statistics. But is the climate model reliable? Finally, players assume the role of policy makers and have to negotiate a climate change treaty for their region. Developed countries are historically responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. Does that make them responsible for loss and damage in developing countries? How strong does the evidence have to be? Do they use their resources to help the countries which have suffered damages? A plausible agreement between developed and developing countries needs to be written and signed by all participants at the end of the game. All the resources needed to run the game yourself are available for download from: http://www.walker.ac.uk/research/projects/the-cauldron-game/

Policy brief
Description:
On the 13th November 2019, the Walker Institute, in collaboration with Climate Analytics and British Geological Survey, ran a workshop attended by government departments, NGOs and academic representatives from the Burkina Faso Water Sector. The purpose of this one-day workshop was to engage with prominent Burkinabe stakeholders including representatives from the Departments of Water and Sanitation, Environment and Sustainable Development along with academic institutes such as the University of Fada, civil society organizations and development partners to explore the “Groundwater Futures” from the BRAVE project. The Burkinabe government will be reviewing their National Action Plan for the water sector in 2020 and this workshop provided a space for open and collaborative discussion not only with the water sector, but multiple other departments and organizations in support of this NAP review process. The scenario planning provided an opportunity to examine critical gaps in knowledge, propose additional measures and identify concrete actions to include in a National Action Plan for the water sector. This report documents the scenario planning process, the key messages that arose and concrete actions proposed.

Policy brief
Description:
NIMFRU (National-scale Impact Based Forecasting of Flood Risk for Uganda), is a multi-partner project which aims to improve the targeting, relevance and communication of flood warning and response in Uganda. It responds to the need from the Forecast-Based Finance community for Impact-Based Forecasts at a national scale, through a new approach that complements comprehensive flood impact assessments with basic household economy/socio-economic information, to guide preparedness, protection, and response. These assessments will ensure that key decision makers, from local to national levels, have the evidence-base they need to deliver timely and targeted interventions to minimize the impacts of flooding on lives and livelihoods. This project brief provides readers with a comprehesive overview of the project.

Description:
Bridging the gap between rapidly moving scientific research and specific forecasting tools, Meteorology of Tropical West Africa: The Forecasters’ Handbook gives unprecedented access to the latest science for the region’s forecasters, researchers, and students and combines this with pragmatic approaches to forecasting. It is set to change the way tropical meteorology is learned and will serve to drive demand for new forecasting tools. The Forecasters’ Handbook builds upon the legacy of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) project, making the latest science applicable to forecasting in the region. By bringing together, at the outset, researchers and forecasters from across the region, and linking to applications, user communities, and decision-makers, The Forecasters’ Handbook provides a template for finding much needed solutions to critical issues such as building resilience to weather hazards and climate change in West Africa.

Policy brief
Description:
Sweet potato is a mainstay of household food security and a major source of vitamin A across sub-Saharan Africa, and particularly in Uganda. Understanding how climate change is likely to impact on sweet potato would be useful for policymakers in Uganda making decisions to improve food security and increase resilience to climate shocks. However, sweet potato is an under-researched crop and the impacts of climate change have not been systematically analysed. The Sweet Potato Catalyst Project aims to assess the impacts of climate change on sweet potato in Uganda and develop ways for local stakeholders to access and assess this information to strengthen governance. This policy briefing note provides an overview of the research, the approach being taken and anticipated outcomes that will feed into the UNFCCC Koronovia Joint Work on Agriculture.

NWPTypeOfKnowledge:
Technical document/report
Description:
Global climate change threatens the livelihoods of subsistence farmers in northeastern Namibia but there is uncertainty about how these impacts will be experienced. This study examined impacts climate change may have on Namibian subsistence agriculture and the barriers farmers may face in adapting their agricultural practices. Based on a review of regional climate features, four potential climate scenarios were developed for Namibia (Extreme Rainfall and Flooding, Extreme Heat, Drought, and Shortened Wet Season). To better understand existing Namibian agricultural practices as well as potential financial and sociocultural barriers to climate adaptation, a literature review, expert stakeholder interviews, and a survey of 205 Namibian farmers were carried out. The study suggested that there are substantial barriers preventing subsistence farmers from implementing climate smart agricultural approaches including: growing resilient crops, implementing effective irrigation strategies, access to financial resources, and gender disparities. Recommendations were formulated to address these barriers and increase resilience in subsistence farming communities. A Climate Scenario Planning Toolkit integrated findings from this project into a participatory workshop in which farmers can learn about and plan for adaptations to possible climate scenarios.

Description:
Coastal adaptation and nature-based solutions for the implementation of NAPs: Considerations for GCF proposal development. A supplement to the UNFCCC NAP technical guidelines. Prepared by the NWP Expert Group on Oceans. Unlocking financing is necessary to support developing countries to implement and enhance their climate commitments and adaptation needs. An important source of grants and concessional finance is from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for coastal and marine Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Ocean and climate issues are often intertwined, particularly for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Enabling the capacity of LDCs and SIDS to develop high-quality proposals is needed to unlock access to funding for NbS, including ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in a situation where the blue economy (i.e., available financing and scale of investment) continues to lag behind its terrestrial counterpart. The supplement aims to facilitate access to funding from the Green Climate Fund for coastal and marine Nature-based Solutions, including ecosystem-based adaptation. The purpose of the supplement is to: - Clarify the entry points and financial instruments to enhance access to coastal and marine NbS opportunities in the GCF; and, - Provide a specifically coastal EbA and NbS lens that take into account the GCF’s requirements and priorities, as defined in the GCF Programming Manual and the GCF Updated Strategic plan, as well as the standards that ensure environmental integrity of nature-based approaches in coastal zones. Please access the supplement via https://unfccc.int/documents/278047.

Description:
Does investing in nature actually deliver development at the local level? This report provides insights into the types of direct, site-based interventions that can help or hinder the achievement of development outcomes for local people and, ultimately, the delivery of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and the SDGs. The report considers a wide range of interventions and development outcomes, both positive and negative. Focusing specifically on poorer (low- and lower-middle-income) countries, it explores documented evidence that ‘nature-based interventions’ or ‘investments in nature’ (including protection, management, restoration, and harnessing nature for food production), can deliver tangible development outcomes for local people, including jobs, food security, empowerment, as well as resilience to climate change. Overall, we found a wealth of evidence that investments in nature can be a ‘win-win’ for biodiversity and development. Our findings confirm those of previous analyses and provide a sound empirical evidence base to complement the wealth of anecdotal evidence on nature-development links, while also highlighting key remaining ‘knowledge gaps’. The report concludes with key recommendations for policy and practice.

Inclusive and participatory actions contribute to scaling up conservation efforts: Economic and livelihood-related incentives motivate communities to engage in long-term conservation planning and implementation. The diverse multi-actor partnerships contributed to replicating the programme efforts initiated in 2018 to different sites, with improved and scaled-up adaptation and conservation actions. With the engagement of communities and other interested actors it is possible to develop long-term actions, as opposed to one-off restoration actions across climate change, sustainable development, biodiversity and forestry conservation. Private-public-CSO actions contribute to scaling up investments for conservation efforts. The programme is an example of merged finance, which includes financial support from the private sector, the public sector and CSOs. Evidence-based policy interventions and knowledge-sharing efforts contribute to successful national- and local-level intervention.

Description:
The Adaptation Consortium aims to prepare county governments to access global climate finance to support adaptation and climate-resilient development. It mainstreams mechanisms that allow communities to prioritize investments in public goods that build their climate resilience.
Outcome:
- ICCCF investments have helped build local resilience to climate change while providing a number of co-benefits that promote well-being of people in poor and marginalized households. - Pastoralists and agro-pastoralists particularly benefit, which is important as livestock is the dominant economic sector in Isiolo County and supports the majority of the population. Women benefit no less than men. - ICCCF disbursements have supported projects that have improved ecosystem resilience and services provision. Investments in traditional rangeland governance and management systems slow land deterioration and have led to rangeland regeneration. - Having a strong financial rationale makes ICCCF investments cost effective for both community and external investors. The investments in strengthening dedha in four Isiolo wards over the 2014 long dry season, resulted in a ratio of 402:1 of local community benefits to ICCCF investment. The ratio of benefits for local and non-local community members was 1,635:1. - Dedha members contributed their own money to dedha management, and the ratio of returns on their investment was high. The costs of establishing the ICCCF was 28% greater than the total value of the investments delivered by the first round of disbursements, but these costs are likely to drop dramatically in subsequent rounds. - The ICCCF running costs compare favourably with similar mechanisms and indicate that no other land uses would provide better returns. Effectiveness was evaluated using a methodology described in Reid et al. 2018 and Reid et al. 2017.

- Community participation is fundamental throughout design and implementation and formalized in management structures and decision-making processes. Participatory livelihood and local economy resilience assessments helped identify possible investments. Supporting Ward Climate Change Planning Committees’ customary range management institutions (dedhas) is an integral part of the Isiolo County Climate Change Fund (ICCCF), and local knowledge is also prioritized. - Effective rangeland management requires jurisdiction over large areas, but administrative boundaries and the imposition of different tenure and land-use systems can disrupt pastoralist mobility and livestock management. Catchment-level planning is therefore important to ensure pastoralist access to water in this dry area and therefore requires landscape-level management approaches. -Measuring returns on investment is difficult because people are highly mobile, and many benefits are difficult to quantify. Pastoral production systems have historically been undervalued as a land-use choice. Quantifying the broader economic benefits of ecosystem services and pastoral production systems is harder than quantifying the immediate direct benefits. - Key challenges include the historical mismanagement of water and grazing resources; poor coordination and communication by the central planning systems and a disconnect between communities and formal governance systems; limited capacity to track the impact of adaptation interventions at the county level; and difficulty securing county-level government support and multi-sectoral coordination. - A national commitment to devolution has also provided opportunities to enhance community participation in decision-making and support community land ownership, both of which are cornerstones of ICCCF effectiveness. Several social, institutional and political opportunities have supported ICCCF implementation in Isiolo.

Description:
EbA involving rehabilitation of critical rangeland and wetland ecosystems in the Succulent Karoo, South Africa.
Outcome:
- The EbA rangeland and wetland rehabilitation initiatives described in this paper allowed communities to maintain or improve their adaptive capacity or resilience, and reduce their vulnerability, in the face of climate change. The initiatives were able to benefit vulnerable groups, especially those relying on pastoralism for their livelihoods. -The EbA initiatives also restored, maintained or enhanced the capacity of ecosystems to continue to produce services for local communities, and allowed ecosystems to better withstand climate change impacts and other stressors. However, improvements in ecosystem service provision from rangeland restoration were much less apparent than from wetland restoration. -EbA rangeland restoration was not financially viable from the perspective of landowners. EbA approaches (rangeland and wetland restoration) were also considerably more expensive than other adaptation options. -Effectiveness was evaluated using methodology described in Reid et al. 2018, Reid et al 2017. involving assessing effectiveness for human societies, ecosystem, and financial and economic effectiveness. It also looks at the social, institutional and political issues that influence the implementation of effective EbA initiatives and outlines how to overcome challenges.

- Project activities built on local knowledge adopted a range of participatory processes, which helped build adaptive capacity. - Few social trade-offs were observed, but because of the slow nature of rangeland restoration, the associated gains in resilience took time to accrue. Similarly, while few trade-offs in terms of ecosystem service provision were observed, ecosystem-related benefits from rangeland restoration took several years to emerge. - It may also be that semi-arid Succulent Karoo ecosystems have thresholds relating to overgrazing or climate change, which if crossed could lead to irreversible change. - A number of policy and institutional barriers influenced the implementation of effective EbA initiatives at local, provincial and national levels. Most notably the lack of local government authority to implement EbA, inadequate policy support at the provincial level, insufficient cross-sectoral collaboration at all levels, knowledge gaps, funding shortages, low-capacity levels, weak institutional effectiveness and high levels of poverty. -While a number of policy and institutional opportunities also support EbA implementation at various levels, most notably local government capacity, a supportive national and provincial legislative and policy environment, and opportunities for integrating EbA into expanded public works programmes. These programmes provide great potential for scaling up EbA implementation and moving away from stand-alone EbA projects with limited and locale-specific impacts. Mainstreaming is also occurring as EbA is incorporated into various national policymaking and planning processes in South Africa. Tools and guidance have been developed to support this process.

FAO’s methodology for damage and loss assessment in agriculture

Description:
One of the key aspects of reducing economic loss from disasters consists in a comprehensive analysis of the impacts generated and their associated cost. Detailed assessments of overall loss and damage are regularly carried out by governments and multilateral organizations following large-scale disasters using different methodologies. However, when applied to agriculture, these assessments often fail to capture the specificities of the sector and result in an imprecise or under-estimated evaluation of disaster impact. This hampers adequate agricultural disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy and planning, and leads to under-investment in resilient agriculture. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed an agriculture-specific methodology, which provides a framework for identifying, analyzing and evaluating the impact (damage and loss) of disasters on the sector. Seeking to standardize disaster impact assessment in agriculture, FAO’s Damage and Loss methodology corresponds to universal norms, commitments and collective action at the global level, while remaining flexible enough to be applied in various country/regional contexts. The tool serves both national policy and planning needs as well as the post-2015 international resilience agendas, including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

In partnership with United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), FAO’s methodology has been adopted into the two main 2015 international agendas, which recognize resilience as fundamental to their achievement, namely the Sustainable development goals (SDG) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR). As such, it contributes to monitoring the achievement of specific targets on reducing direct economic loss from disasters. Specifically, the FAO methodology is used to track progress of Sendai Indicator C-2 on reducing direct agricultural loss attributed to disasters, and the corresponding SDG indicator 1.5.1.

Description:
This open access book discusses current thinking and presents the main issues and challenges associated with climate change in Africa. It introduces evidences from studies and projects which show how climate change adaptation is being - and may continue to be successfully implemented in African countries. Thanks to its scope and wide range of themes surrounding climate change, the ambition is that this book will be a lead publication on the topic, which may be regularly updated and hence capture further works. Climate change is a major global challenge. However, some geographical regions are more severly affected than others. One of these regions is the African continent. Due to a combination of unfavourable socio-economic and meteorological conditions, African countries are particularly vulnerable to climate change and its impacts. The recently released IPCC special report "Global Warming of 1.5º C" outlines the fact that keeping global warming by the level of 1.5º C is possible, but also suggested that an increase by 2º C could lead to crises with crops (agriculture fed by rain could drop by 50% in some African countries by 2020) and livestock production, could damage water supplies and pose an additonal threat to coastal areas. The 5th Assessment Report produced by IPCC predicts that wheat may disappear from Africa by 2080, and that maize— a staple—will fall significantly in southern Africa. Also, arid and semi-arid lands are likely to increase by up to 8%, with severe ramifications for livelihoods, poverty eradication and meeting the SDGs. Pursuing appropriate adaptation strategies is thus vital, in order to address the current and future challenges posed by a changing climate. It is against this background that the "African Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation" is being published. It contains papers prepared by scholars, representatives from social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies, undertaking research and/or executing climate change projects in Africa, and working with communities across the African continent. Encompassing over 100 contribtions from across Africa, it is the most comprehensive publication on climate change adaptation in Africa ever produced.

Description:
Since January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has dominated the media and exercises pressure on governments worldwide. Apart from its effects on economies, education systems and societies, the pandemic has also influenced climate change research. This paper examines the extent to which COVID-19 has influenced climate change research worldwide during the first wave at the beginning of 2020 and how it is perceived to exploit it in the future. This study utilised an international survey involving those dedicated to climate change science and management research from Academia, Government, NGOs, and international agencies in 83 countries. The analysis of responses encompasses four independent variables: Institutions, Regions, Scientific Areas, and the level of economic development represented by the Human Development Index (HDI). Results show that: (1) COVID-19 modified the way the surveyed researchers work, (2) there are indicators that COVID-19 has already influenced the direction of climate change and adaptation policy implementation, and (3) respondents perceived (explicitly concerning the COVID-19 lockdowns of March-April 2020), that the pandemic has drawn attention away from climate policy. COVID- 19 has influenced the agenda of climate change research for more than half of the respondents and is likely to continue in the future, suggesting that the impacts on their research will still be felt for many years. The paper concludes by outlining critical implications for policy-making.
