Activities and projects those arise from the Climate
Change Adaptation Strategy
UNDP Project “Supporting Moldova’s Climate Change Adaptation
Planning Process”, supported financially by Government of Austria
(2013-2016):
 The overall goal of the project is “to ensure that Moldova has a
system and capacities in place for medium- to long term
adaptation planning and budgeting with the overall aim to reduce
vulnerability of the population and key sectors to the impacts of
climate change”.
 The main project objective is “to support Moldova to put in place
its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process contributing to and
building upon existing development planning strategies and
processes and to implement priority adaptation actions”.
Stakeholder workshop "Climate change and security in the Dniester River Basin“, Chisinau 9 July 2013
Activities and projects those arise from the
Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
The Expected Project Outputs are as following:
Output 1. Institutional and policy frameworks for
medium- to long-term gender-sensitive adaptation
planning and budgeting are in place;
Output 2. Institutional and technical capacities for
iterative development of comprehensive NAP
strengthened;
Output 3. Adaptation interventions in priority
sectors implemented including demonstration
projects at a local level to catalyse replication and up
scaling.

Activities and projects those arise from the Climate
Change Adaptation Strategy (cont.)
EU Project “Clima East Program” (2013-2016), subdivided in two main
components: (1) Clima East Policy Component and (2) Clima East Pilot
Projects in seven partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Georgia, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine).
 The specific objective of the Clima East Policy Project is “to foster
improved climate change policies, strategies and market mechanisms in
the Partner Countries that are more in line with the EU acquis, by
supporting regional cooperation and improving information-access to EU
climate change policies/acquis”.
 The main aim of the Clima East Pilots Project is “to demonstrate through
pilot projects the feasibility of ecosystem‐based approaches to climate
change, meaning that intact ecosystems such as peatlands, permafrost
landscapes, boreal forests and pasture land can have a strong and
cost‐efficient positive effect both on climate change mitigation and
adaptation”.

The aim of the pilot project in Moldova is “to
demonstrate a natural resource management
model in the pastures and forests of Moldova
which increases ecosystems’ capacity to sequester
carbon under pending climate warning risks,
while at the same time retain biodiversity and
economic values”.
The project targets the pastures and forest
degraded lands located in the Orhei National Park
area and their buffer zone.

Under the Clima East Policy Project, actions has explicitly
been organized around 6 result areas.
Under the Result Area 3 “State-of-the-art national
climate change mitigation and adaptation policies
developed, fine-tuned and implemented” it is planned the
mainstreaming of climate change into the territorial
arrangement strategy and other policies.
Under the Result Area 4 “Increased capacity for climate
change vulnerability and impact assessments and
increased capacity for adaptation planning” it is planned:
 to develop two National Adaptation Programmers of
Actions (NAPAs);

To strength capacity on vulnerability assessment of
different sectors of the national economy to new
climate conditions:
Assess the climate change impact on water
resources in relation with the following sectors:
agriculture, human health and promotion of RES;
Provide assistance in Land Use, Land Use Change
and Forestry vulnerability assessment and
increase of agriculture and forestry sectors
resilience to climate change.
