Achievements – LDCF and SCCF
•
•
•
•
Groundbreaking work
in implementing
adaptation action
Strong catalytic effect
Concrete results in
pioneering adaptation
action in some of the
poorest countries in the
world
Dialog with LDCs,
including active
participation in the LEG
10
Pioneering Activities in Priority Sectors and
Areas of Intervention: LDCF
Food Security and Agriculture  drought tolerant feeding, seed
banks, drought resistant crop
Water Resources Management  rainwater harvesting, micro surface
and ground water treatment facilities, underground screens to prevent
groundwater losses
Disaster Risk Management  Integrated disaster risk management
strategies, glacial lake outburst floods hazard zoning
Community Based Adaptation  forest management, mangrove
restoration, alternative livelihoods, strengthened animal health systems
Natural Resources Management  efficient wood management,
ecotourism, fishing around mangroves, renewable energy use
Health  climate change challenges incorporated into health programs,
use of medicinal plants to treat diseases
Infrastructure  critical infrastructure (e.g. rain harvesting reservoirs)
11
Pioneering Activities in Priority Sectors and Areas of
Intervention: SCCF
Water Resources Management drainage and water-saving
technologies, increased reservoir capacity through energy efficiency of
turbines
Agriculture/Land Management  drip irrigation, drought and salinity
resistant crop varieties
Infrastructure Development infrastructure for alternative water
sources, e.g. climate resilient roads and harbors
Fragile Ecosystems  repopulation of coral reefs, buffer zones and
biological corridors between vulnerable wetlands
Integrated Coastal Zone Management beach reinforcement and
nourishment, protection structures (e.g. jetties, groins, breakwaters)
Health  heat-wave warning systems, surveillance and response for
malaria epidemics
Disaster Risk Management  early warning systems
Cross Cutting Issues  information sharing systems to monitor crop
choices and contingency crop plans, and pest and disease severity
12
Bhutan:
Reduce CC-induced Risks and Vulnerabilities from Glacial
Lake Outbursts in the Punakha-Wangdi and Chamkar Valleys
LDCF/GEF $3.64M
CC Vulnerabilities:
• Glacial lakes reaches critical threshold
as Himalayan glaciers melt  massive
flashfloods in river valleys
↓
Adaptation Actions:
• Increase disaster risk management
capacity in affected valleys
• Artificial lowering of water level in
glacial lakes
• Creation of an Early Warning System for
glacial flashfloods
↓
Outcomes:
• Decreased risk of massive destruction
from glacial flash floods
• Limitation of human and economic loss
if/when catastrophic flash floods occur
13
Congo DR:
Building the Capacity of the Agriculture Sector in DR Congo to
Plan for and Respond to the Additional Threats Posed by
Climate Change on Food Production
LDCF/GEF amount:: $3 M
CC Vulnerabilities:
•
Increasing temperatures and shorter more erratic rainy seasons
 Significant impact on primarily rain fed subsistence
agriculture.
↓
Adaptation Actions:
•
Pilot measures implemented locally, including:
– Diffusion of more drought tolerant varieties of maize,
cassava and rice.
– Demonstration of alternative and diversified climate
resilient livelihood options (e.g. non timber forest
products and fish farming)
– Updating crop calendars and providing training to farmers
on more climate resilient crop and soil management
options (e.g. water conservation measures)
– Creation of a drought early warning system and protocols
for diffusion of climate information to farmers.
– Training of provincial technical staff in relevant ministries
on the integration of climate risks in the development of
decentralized agricultural plans.
Outcomes: ↓
•
Increased food security and sustainable agricultural
development
14
Maldives:
Integration of Climate Change Risks into the Maldives Safer
Island Development Program
LDCF/GEF amount:: $4.49 M
CC Vulnerabilities:
•
More than 85% of country less than 1.5 m. above sea level +
more than 70 percent of critical infrastructure within 100 m of
shoreline  extremely vulnerable to sea level rise and
increased cyclonic activity.
↓
Adaptation Actions:
•
Pilot measures implemented locally, including:
– Development of climate resilient land use plans (e.g.
reevaluate appropriateness of environmental protection
zones and new infrastructure development),
– Update drainage systems,
– Restoration of natural ridge systems providing coastal
protection
•
Training of key specialists dealing with land use planning,
coastal zone management, coastal infrastructure
development and land reclamation and assuring that climate
change concerns is considered in key national policies
governing such activities
↓
Outcomes:
•
Reduced impact of sea level rise on critical infrastructure and
sustainable development
