Transcript UNDP's mitigation strategy in Africa
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 Climate Plan (ITCP) through the Integrated Territorial 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

Project Duration: 5 Years ITCP Development: 2 Years
United Nations Environment Programme
Led by UNEP Global/Continental Level Led by UNDP National/Sub-national Level Led by UNDP 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 authorities on five continents
United Nations Environment Programme
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 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 sub national authorities Good practices in climate change Adaptation Opportunities for North South and South-South interaction
United Nations Environment Programme
Mitigation Networking amongst sub national authorities within and between countries 9
UNDP: Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP)
• UNDP will assist sub-national authorities developing countries to undertake a in at least 10 and up to 50 regions in Climate Profile and to develop Integrated Territorial Climate Plans (ITCP) to: •
•
identify and prioritise mitigation and adaptation initiatives assessment of physical and economic climate change impacts, based on an
•
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 change measures.
to implement priority climate

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 climate change impact assessments and to support physical and economic 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
