Adaptation Funds
Adaptation funds cover the additional costs necessary
for countries to achieve development goals in the face
of climate change. Sliding scale can be used.
SCCF: Does not need to address GEBs, focus on longer term
measures and planning
LCDF: Does not need to address GEBs, open to LDCs only,
driven by national development priorities, focus on shorter term
measures
SPA:
Must address global environmental benefits (GEBs) as
well as adaptation to climate change

II. UNDP Approach
UNDP’s Institutional Response to Adaptation and
Development
UNDP’s focus
• Adaptation to climate variability (short- to mediumterm)
• Adaptation to projected climate change (long-term)
• Adaptation measures to ensure sustainability of
adaptation through support for policy, governance,
planning and capacity building

•
SPA – International Waters
$975,000 in GEF funds
Status: PDF-A approved
Goal: Reduce climate related risks for coastal wetlands and
activities related to their sustainable use
Example MSP Outcomes:
• Capacity for planning, stakeholder engagement,
implementation, and M&E of adaptation measures to address
sustainable development of coastal areas enhanced
• Timely information on changes in climate, runoff and river
discharges, coastal morphology and wetland ecosystem health
made available in user-friendly format to decision-makers at the
national and local levels

Adaptation to Climate Change through Effective
Water Governance in Ecuador
• SCCF – Adapting
•
•
planning and policies
$3 million in GEF funds, $6 million co-financing
Status: PDF-B approved
Outcomes:
• Policy environment and governance structure for effective
water management strengthened
• Information and knowledge management on climate risks
in Ecuador improved
• Sustainable water and water-related risk management
practices to withstand the effects of climate change applied
