UNDP-UNEP
Poverty-Environment
Initiative releases new Guide on "Mainstreaming Climate Change
Adaptation
into Development Planning: A Guide for Practitioners", 2011
Dear all,
We are pleased to draw your attention to
a new Guide entitled “Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation
into
Development Planning: A Guide for Practitioners”.
Climate change adaptation is an area of
growing concern and engagement for many developing countries. The
myriad
and uncertain effects of a changing climate pose significant risks for
development and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
Numerous
initiatives and financing mechanisms aimed at assisting countries with
climate change adaptation have been rolled out and are being
implemented.
Efforts tend to concentrate on developing specific adaptation measures,
with a focus on the ones that correspond to countries’ most urgent and
immediate needs. Increasingly, countries are coming to realize that, in
the long term, climate change adaptation needs to be supported by an
integrated,
cross-cutting policy approach.
This guide provides practical,
step-by-step
guidance on how governments and other national actors can mainstream
climate
change adaptation into national development planning as part of broader
mainstreaming efforts. It is aimed at public decision makers and
practitioners
in developing countries dealing with climate change adaptation.
In more detail, the Guide:
- describes key concepts related to
mainstreaming
adaptation to climate change
- presents an operating model to
mainstreaming
climate adaptation
- provides guidance on finding the
right entry
points into national development planning and making the case to
decision-makers
- outlines how to integrate climate
adaptation
into policy processes, including collecting country-specific evidence
- offers guidance on meeting the
implementation
challenge from strengthening national monitoring systems to budgeting
processes
and policy measures at national, sector and subnational levels to
strengthening
institutions and capacities
The guide draws on substantial experience
and lessons learned by the UNDP-UNEP Poverty-Environment Initiative in
working with governments to integrate environmental management for
pro-poor
economic growth and development into national development planning and
decision-making.
The Guide can be accessed on-line at:
