Multi-level Dimension of Climate Change
Governance

Multiple levels of government concerned
with climate change




National Level
Sub-national/territorial level (e.g. region,
state, province)
City level (e.g. Municipalities/Metropolitan
Areas)
Depending on the political system of a
country, variations exist concerning




Division of decision authority
Authority to collect financial revenues
Accountability structures
Etc.

Integrating Climate Change into
Development Planning




National development plans create important opportunities to
address climate change
 Development plans provide the basis for
 Medium-term expenditure frameworks
 Annual sectoral budgeting (e.g. agriculture, water, etc)
Strategic planning processes include, for example
 Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers
 UN Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFs)
 National Sustainable Development Strategies
Engaging with the National Climate Change Committees
through the Ministry of Local Governments, where applicable
Consideration of sub-national issues differ from case-to-case

Questions and Challenges from a
Sub-national Perspective
Is a national climate change policy
framework/programme in place?
 If so, how are sub-national issues taken into
account?
 How do sub-national authorities participate in
relevant processes?

Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1
Questions and Challenges from a
Sub-national Perspective (cont.)



In which areas of climate change governance do subnational authorities have autonomous decisionauthority vis-à-vis national authorities?
To what extent can sub-national authorities collect and
allocate revenues to support climate change action
independently?
What steps can sub-national authorities do to
participate in international support and capacity
development projects?

Overall Objective of UNDP TACC Approach

Sub-national Governments are supported to ….
 …prepare
green, low-emission and climate-resilient
development strategies (LECRDS)
 …that attract and direct public and private
investment…
 …rooted in robust and integrated scientific,
institutional, financial, and socio-economic assessments
 …address the threats, risks, vulnerabilities and
uncertainties associated with global climate change

Territorial Approach to Climate Change - Phase 1
Step 1: Develop Partnership and
Coordinating Structure

Internal preparation and stocktaking exercises
Review existing governance/decision making structures
 Identify key stakeholders
 Analyze national and local policy document/strategies,
national and local programmes and projects, etc.



Raise awareness among sub-national authorities
Establish
TACC Steering Committee
 Project Coordinating Unit
 Sectoral Working Groups


Using Global Climate Models (GCMs) To Prepare Subnational Climate Scenarios for Two Time Periods under Two
Global Emission Scenarios

Methodology used by CLIMSAT in Uruguay:
5km spatial resolution prospective climatology
 Based on past climatology - 1970-1999 period
 Using 12 models approved by the IPCC
 Using the SRES scenarios A2 (business as usual) and B1 (global
cooperation towards sustainable development).
 Climatic variables : precipitation, temperature (and wind
pending).

Step 3: Identify Mitigation and
Adaptation Options
Identify priority mitigation and adaptation
options through stakeholder consultation
 Address variety of relevant thematic areas and
sectors, e.g.,

 Energy
 Transport
