Programming Climate Change Adaptation Projects Mainstreaming Adaptation into Development Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) Back to Adaptation Back to Climate Change Back to Environment & Energy Search	Programming Climate Change Adaptation Projects UNDP has developed a unique set of resources to assist developing countries in planning adaptation through development. Below is a comprehensive list of existing and forthcoming resources. Additional information on UNDP adaptation priorities and activities is accessible through the menu at right. Services for integrating climate resilience into development planning Identifying key climate change risks and opportunities to support adaptation in each UNDP practice area Country portfolio analysis for climate change risks and adaptation opportunities [draft] UNDP programming strategy Hot spot analysis from vulnerability and hazard data | 252KB PDF Analysis of the economic costs of climate change impacts and adaptation strategies by sector Programming guidelines Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Adaptation describes goals and objectives for vulnerability reduction and building adaptive capacity in six thematic areas (water, agriculture, health, disaster risk reduction, natural resources, coastal zones), in support of the Millennium Development Goals. A suite of standard indicators are outlined, along with sample outcomes and indicators for each thematic area [draft] | 250KB PDF Thematic Area Guidance provides the latest impact projections by region, drawing on the Fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report, and outlines development challenges and opportunities for adaptation in the six thematic areas for adaptation [draft] Climate Risk Profiles provide country-level climate change projections (sub-national for large countries) derived from climate model outputs assessed in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report Methods for adaptation UNDP-GEF Adaptation Policy Frameworks comprises technical papers that outline a structured approach to formulating and implementing adaptation strategies, policies and measures. Included are: a User's Guidebook; Scoping and Designing an Adaptation Project; Engaging Stakeholders; Assessing Vulnerability; Assessing Current Climate Risks; Assessing Future Climate Risks; Assessing Current and Changing Socio-Economic Conditions; Assessing and Enhancing Adaptive Capacity; Formulating an Adaptation Strategy; and Continuing the Adaptation Process Awareness and capacity Adaptation definitions highlight commonly used terminology Adaptation basics provides an overview of the relationship between climate change impacts and development, including impacts by sector (e.g., land degradation, health), as well as impacts affecting the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals Adaptation training will have been provided to more than 430 UNDP staff by the end of 2007. UNDP leadership in this area is recognised in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Stocktaking of Progress on Integrating Adaptation into Climate Change and Development Co-operation Activities (see page 18) Web-based training on climate change: A three-hour module on climate change includes three lessons: 1) The Science of Climate Change; 2) Climate Change and UNDP’s Development Efforts; and 3) Global Responses to Climate Change Knowledge management Adaptation Learning Mechanism, a $1 million project that captures and disseminates experiences and good practices in adaptation via an open knowledge platform where users can review and submit information Country Adaptation Profiles Database, a UNDP-developed tool hosted by the Adaptation Learning Mechanism, provides information on climate change and the national initiatives for over 140 developing countries Support programmes The GEF-funded National Communications Support Programme (NCSP), jointly managed by UNDP and UNEP, provides support to more than 130 developing countries as they prepare Second (or Third) National Communications to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Together with the implementing agencies, the NCSP provides technical and policy guidance on vulnerability and adaptation assessment, and on linking climate risks with national development priorities		Adaptation Topics UNDP Role in Adaptation UNDP Adaptation Strategy Project Portfolio Publications Collaboration & Partners Support Programmes Contacts Adaptation Basics Introduction: Climate change impacts and development Climate change impacts by sector Climate change impacts and the Millennium Development Goals Adaptation definitions and levels Adaptation Project Examples Coping with Drought and Climate Change (Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe) – Visit Web site – Download PDF B Document Responding to Shoreline Change and its Human Dimensions in West Africa through Integrated Coastal Area Management – Visit Web site – Download PDF B Document Piloting Climate Change Adaptation to Protect Human Health – Web site forthcoming – Download PDF B document
