DEVELOPING AN ADAPTATION POLICY FRAMEWORK Key questions for discussion Introduction What revisions and/or additions do you think are needed to make the Adaptation Policy Framework more useful for countries to develop adaptation strategies under the UNFCCC? Characterization of Climate Risks What kind of risks is your country most exposed to? How do you characterise these risks in your country? How did you deal with these climate risks in your national assessment? Adaptation Baselines What are the necessary elements of adaptation baselines? How can adaptation baselines be quantified and measured? Baselines under current climate? Adaptation Capacity How can guidance be provided to strengthen adaptation capacity? Observed damages What guidance can be provided to a) identify and b) measure impacts of climate events using empirical methods and modelling for recent and future events? Can each category of damages loss/damage estimates be captured? This would include property losses by various classes of property, mortality and morbidity, damage to ecosystems/natural systems, disruption of business, intangible losses. How can non-monetary losses be estimated? Present and Future Vulnerability How do you explain present and future vulnerability? What tools can be used to estimate present and future vulnerability Characterisation of Socio-economic Conditions •What revisions and/or additions do you think are needed to make the draft? Developing Socio-economic Scenarios for Assessing Vulnerability more useful? •Does the approach help you to integrate climate change concerns into national economic planning? UNDP session II: Methodologies for Adaptation Policy Framework Evaluation of the current DB/Compendium. •Which methodologies can be used to operationalise the Adaptation Policy Framework? •Is the UNFCCC database and Compendium of Decisions Tools to Evaluate Strategies for Adaptation to Climate Change a good source of information for the APF? •Where are there gaps? How can these gaps be addressed?
