Impact of National Communications on Process of Integrating Climate Change into National Development Policies UNFCCC Workshop on Exchange of Experiences and Good Practices among NAI Countries in Preparing National Communications 20-22 September 2007, Cairo, Egypt Yamil Bonduki UNDP-GEF Adaptation 0 0 Numerous entry points can be identified for linkages between SNC and development priorities Strategy for policy-relevant SNC 1. Agree SNC objectives/outcomes 2. Focus scope of work 3. Engage stakeholders early 4. Build from technical knowledge base 5. Communicate results 6. Identify business case 7. Measure impacts UNDP-GEF Adaptation 1 1 Mainstreaming the SNC makes the process sustainable 1. SNC objectives/outcomes Explore ways to facilitate mainstreaming of SNC process into government agenda • Objective: seek to contribute to policy changes • Outcome: highlight short- and long-term policy strategies • Establish system at beginning of SNC process to create policy dialogue and pursue political buy-in UNDP-GEF Adaptation 2 2 Thematic studies should focus on national priorities 2. Focus scope of work Revisit scope of studies to ensure linkages of outputs to development planning • Use ToR that specifically address policy issues for each thematic area of SNC • Ensure V&A and mitigation studies are consistent with development needs (focusing on areas more likely to influence decision making) • Conversely, studies may be explicitly driven by changes in policy that address development and V&A/mitigation UNDP-GEF Adaptation 3 3 Find follow-up opportunities to keep stakeholders engaged 3. Engage stakeholders early Establish system at beginning of SNC process to create policy dialogues and pursue political buy-in • Document stakeholder engagement process, and include follow-up activities • Identify actions to facilitate adoption of results as a key feature of SNC process UNDP-GEF Adaptation 4 4 Making technical studies policy-relevant is key for encouraging broader interest and dissemination 4. Build from technical knowledge base Promote policy-oriented studies that expand upon traditional technical assessments and focus on what is important • Identify current practices and trends that enhance vulnerability and/or increase GHG emissions • Keep research simple, but relevant - complex studies are not necessarily required • Emphasise socio-economics assessments as a key element of V&A and mitigation assessments UNDP-GEF Adaptation 5 5 Communicating the results of the SNC will help stimulate public awareness 5. Communicate results Establish effective communications around SNC results and process to encourage greater policy dialogue • Highlight policy-relevant issues within the SNC to raise government, media and public awareness • At least one SNC outcome to clearly communicate policy decisions needed for adoption of appropriate measures in short- and long-term UNDP-GEF Adaptation 6 6 Climate change can be used as a cross-cutting policy tool for sustainable development 6. Identify business case Identify the risks that climate change poses to national development goals and the opportunities for reducing risks • Link climate change to macro-economic measures in SNC • Use SNC to identify governance & policy and incentive frameworks • Link V&A studies to disaster risk management activities UNDP-GEF Adaptation 7 7 Demonstrating impacts of SNC 7. Measure impacts Desing criteria to demonstrate impacts of the SNC process and outcomes Two options: • Level 1: At the end of SNC, countries would be able to demonstrate a"minimum" level of impacts of the SNC • Level 2: countries may adopt a more"ambitious" strategy to demonstrate policy changes at the national or sectoral level to address CC concerns through the SNC process UNDP-GEF Adaptation 8 8 Demonstrating impacts of SNC Measure impacts: Level 1 •Number of experts trained, and specific outcomes from training activities •Number of technical publications and articles published •Changes in education curriculum to include climate change •Number of stakeholders involved and roles played •Number of institutions actively involved in climate change activities as a result of the SNC •Number of policy dialogues carried out under the SNC •Number of relevant projects, programmes, activities developed as a result of the SNC UNDP-GEF Adaptation 9 9 Demonstrating impacts of SNC Measure impacts: Level 2 Incorporation of CC concerns into national development priorities - Concrete references to climate change and strategies in relevant national development initiatives - Number of decision makers and other relevant stakeholders bringing climate change into their areas of work - Changes in legislation or specific regulations to address climate change at national or local levels - Concrete efforts to address climate change at a broader level, for instance joint initiative to address climate risks management and adaptation UNDP-GEF Adaptation 1010 Demonstrating impacts of SNC Measure impacts: Level 2 Incorporation on CC concerns into sectoral and local planning - Appropriation by economic/social sectors of specific outcomes, e.g. GHG inventory systems, mitigation measures, adaptation options. -Adoption of climate change criteria in sectoral planning or decision making - Incorporation of climate change initiatives at the local level Mainstreaming CC concerns into UN relevant frameworks - Incorporation of climate risk management into UN country programming - Linkages between climate change and achievement of MDG Goal UNDP-GEF Adaptation 1111 Demonstrating impacts of SNC Measure impacts: deliberate efforts Some issues to consider for impacts measurement of SNC: - Areas of impacts to target (public awareness, technical and institutional capacity strengthening, policy advocacy, policy formulation, education, follow-up projects, etc.) - Scope of impact assessment, e.g. throughout formulation of SNC and/or beyond the life of national communication (short/long term) - Criteria (indicators?) to measure and/or demonstrate impacts - Strategy to document progress and impacts - Identification of “unintended” impacts that may result from the SNC process UNDP-GEF Adaptation 1212
