Low-Carbon and Climate Resilient Development Strategies The Territorial Approach to Climate Change (TACC) Strategy III World Summit of Regions Montevideo, Uruguay 21 April 2010 TACC Background TACC as a global action came into existence with the recognition by sub-national authorities that urgent and collective action was needed to be taken to respond appropriately to climate change - Saint Malo Declaration, October 2008 United Nations Environment Programme UNDP recognizes that : • over between 50-80% of GHG emissions are influenced by local behaviours and investment choices • virtually all adaptation actions have to be tailored to local circumstances. 1 TACC Overall Objective Increased resilience to Climate Change impacts and reduced carbon footprint in regions in developing countries and countries with economies in transition United Nations Environment Programme achieved through Awareness Raising and development of Integrated Territorial Climate Plans 2 Territorial Approach: Targets Regional Government Authorities (RGAs) • Understand CC and related risks and opportunities at sub-national level • Empower RGAs to identify and prioritize risks/opportunities related to CC M&A • Enable RGAs to scale up CC M&A actions from local to regional level United Nations Environment Programme • Provide CC planning interface between rural and urban areas • Deliver an integrated territorial climate plan (ITCP) developed through a multi-stakeholder participatory process • Catalyze investment/capital through the Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP) 3 How the TACC is structured TACC is about partnering at all levels TACC is a global partnership spearheaded by UNDP and UNEP United Nations Environment Programme in collaboration with UNITAR and UN-Habitat 4 ITCP Development: 2 Years Project Duration: 5 Years United Nations Environment Programme Led by UNEP Global/Continental Level Led by UNDP Led by UNDP National/Sub-national Level 5 UNDP’s role In charge of the overall programme management, UNDP provides: • Technical assistance to develop climate change investment and policy roadmaps, based on its 15 years of worldwide experience in the implementation of adaptation and mitigation projects as well as United Nations Environment Programme in delivering environmental finance services • Operational management in the field through its network of 166 country offices • Mobilization of funds and partnership management • Financial and a administrative management 6 UNEP’s role As the UN designated entity for addressing environmental issues, UNEP has more than 30 years of experience providing leadership and encouraging partnership in caring for the environment. Within the TACC programme UNEP has the lead responsibility for: • Organizing awareness raising workshops for groupings of sub-national United Nations Environment Programme authorities on five continents • Compilation of good practices on climate change adaptation and mitigation at the sub-national level • Assessing training and information needs of sub-national authorities in the context of TACC Phase 1 • Creation of an interactive web-based portal in support of sub-national authorities 7 UNEP: Phase I Workshops The objectives of the awareness raising workshops are: • Take stock and review international policy developments in the area of • • • • climate change from a sub-national perspective Raise awareness and facilitate knowledge sharing concerning climate change action and fostering a green economy at the sub-national level United Nations Environment Programme Share knowledge and tools relevant for strengthening climate change science, adaptation, mitigation, financing, and capacity development at the sub-national level Catalyze interest in developing an Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP) and provide guidance for developing it through multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder collaboration and within a multi-level governance framework Explore opportunities for sustained knowledge-sharing and capacity development for sustained sub-national climate change action 8 UNEP: Web-based Portal Based on existing platforms, networks and resources, provide access to: Climate change tools and methodologies relevant to subnational authorities Good practices in climate change Opportunities for NorthSouth and South-South interaction United Nations Environment Programme Adaptation Mitigation Networking amongst subnational authorities within and between countries 9 UNDP: Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP) • UNDP will assist sub-national authorities in at least 10 and up to 50 regions in developing countries to undertake a Climate Profile and to develop Integrated Territorial Climate Plans (ITCP) to: • identify and prioritise mitigation and adaptation initiatives based on an assessment of physical and economic climate change impacts, • Identify no-regret/negative costs options. United Nations Environment Programme • Enhance energy access and the creation of new economic activities through the development of clean production and consumption options at the local level • "climate proof" existing investments and activities • Reduce local vulnerability to climate variability and change • Identify possible policy and financing instruments to implement priority climate change measures. 10 UNDP: Technical support Sub-regions and countries engaging in a TACC process will receive dedicated and targeted technical support from UNDP / CLIMSAT • Support for physical and socio-economic assessments, design of regional climate change strategies, action plans and related products • Climate change impact and vulnerability mapping United Nations Environment Programme • Provision of satellite imagery and models to support physical and economic climate change impact assessments and scenarios • Training and skills development programmes • In close partnership with the Association of Regions, develop knowledge tools and methodologies for the preparation of Integrated Territorial Climate Plans 11 5 key steps to preparing an Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP) Develop Partnership & Coordination Structure Integrated Climate Change Planning: Foundation & Implementation of a Multi-stakeholder Consultative Process (ITCP Guidebook) Prepare Climate Change Scenarios • Climate scenarios • Vulnerability scenarios • GHG emissions scenarios •Handbook on Climate Change Impact Scenarios •GHG Emissions Scenarios •Adapted Bilan Carbone TACC Handbook (to be developed) •ITCP Guidebook Identify Mitigation & Adaptation Options • Identify priority M&A options through a multistakeholder consultative process •Technology Needs Assessment Handbook •ITCP Guidebook Assess Priority Climate Financing Needs • Assess existing LGA financing options • Undertake cost-benefit analysis of priority options • Identify Financial flow requirements • Identify policy & innovative financing instruments Prepare comprehensive Low Carbon & Climate Change Resilient Roadmap United Nations Environment Programme •Guide to Preparing Investment & Financial Flows Assessments •McKinsey Mitigation Cost Curves •McKinsey Adaptation CBA Analysis •Adapted “Paying for Env.
