4 EXECUTIVEE SUMMARY Spa is highly vulnerable e climate, accordgly, assessment impacts adaptation should be considered a priority. Spa was one first countries Europe develop an adaptation policy, 2006, approved National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PNACC Spanish) its First Work Programme. In July 2007, European Union published Green Paper radaptation Commission, April 2009, released correspondg White Paper, which lays foundations for Community policy on this matter. This European framework, which affects Member States adaptation plans programmes, is taken fully account PNACC s Second Work Programme. me. The Second Work Programme reviews progress made sce 2006 under framework established by PNACC sets ambitious goals address climate adaptation Spa. It is structured followg four les action: 1 Secral assessment sment climate impacts, vulnerability adaptation.this lies at core Second Work Programme, which matas focus First Programme. It contues produce regionalized climate scenarios secral assessments water resources, coastal al areas biodiversity, now extends its scope clude or relevant secrs, such as urism, agriculture, health, forests soils/desertification. 2 Mastreamg climate adaptation secral legislation, by systematically tically consensually identifyg ng legal struments necessary achieve this goal. 3 Mobilization key stakeholders (from public, social private spheres) secrs cluded PNACC ensure y participate actively identifyg adaptation measures. es. 4 Creation a system dicars climate impacts adaptation Spa every secr, with aim developg a monirg assessment sessment strument guide future ure implementation PNACC. To complement four les action mentioned above, Second Work Programme is founded on two basic tenets: 1 Strengn R&D Innovation research, novate, develop implement adaptation technologies. 2 Reforce co-ordation between national regional government through Climate Change Policy Co-ordation 2

5 REFERENCE FRAMEWORK, FOCUS AND LINES OF ACTION CONTEXT In recent years, climate adaptation has taken on greater importance ternationally, as highlighted by many organizations a large number national ternational studies, adaptation itiatives be necessary have complement mitigation measures. This is emphasized by: - The Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-2007, which states that climate has already had an fluence on many physical biological systems, that risks anticipated are considerable that y are set crease. - Various reports by European Environment Agency. - United Nations ternational conferences on urism, health, etc. - The negotiation process for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which establishes adaptation as one basic pillars post-2012 context. In a European context, White Paper on Adaptg Climate Change lays foundations for Community policy on this matter. This White Paper has a secral orientation, cludes cost assessments EU area proposes, among its ma goals, tegratg climate adaptation key secral Community policies. Spa, which is highly vulnerable climate, has been one Europe s pioneers implementg adaptation policies. In 2006, PNACC its First Work Programme were approved. Now at an advanced stage, it has assessed impacts, vulnerability adaptation three key areas water resources, coastal areas biodiversity which are probably country s most critical.... detailed studies impacts on various systems secrs identify appropriate adaptation measures.... volvement by scientific community, policymakers all or affected public, social private stakeholders.... adaptation be viewed as an opportunity for companies novate, develop implement technologies. 3

6 GOALS AND LINES OF ACTION While implementation PNACC s First Work Programme progresses, Second Programme, which has been given a 4-year horizon, represents a qualitative advance terms its systematic approach adaptation Spa. In particular: - It provides new impetus mastream adaptation secral policies. - It troduces assessment social economic costs climate as regards key impacts on various secrs (what, when, where, how, how much who be affected by climate ) economic assessment adaptation measures. - It proposes identifyg g opportunities, both as regards rds busess (new production activities market niches) Spa s foreign co-operation trade policies (new transferable adaptation technologies methodologies). Like First Work Programme, actions planned Second Work Programme be funded from ordary budgets units volved ir implementation. In response se challenges goals, Second dwork Programme is structured around four les action. The first one addresses task assessment, followg two deal with implementation, last one with monirg. Secral assessment climate impacts, vulnerability adaptation. This represents core Second Work Programme ramme follows on from First..The Programme contues produce regionalized climate scenarios a key ol for appropriately assessg sessg impacts on various secrs systems assessments sments priority cross-cuttg secrs systems (water resources, s, coastal areas biodiversity). Furrmore, it now takes account or secrs vital economy omy population urism, agriculture, health, forests soils/desertification. 4

Mobilization key stakeholders (from public, social private spheres) secrs cluded PNACC ensure y participate actively identifyg climate adaptation measures. Creation a system dicars climate impacts adaptation Spa every secr, with aim developg a monirg assessment strument guide future implementation PNACC. To complement four les action mentioned above, Second Work Programme is founded on two basic pillars: Strengngg R&D Innovation research, novate, develop implement adaptation technologies. Furrmore, R&D Innovation needs identified durg this Second Programme provide potential put for new National current Strategic Action Plan for Energy Climate Change or related actions or struments. Reforcg co-ordation between national nal regional admistrations through Co-ordation Commission Climate Change Policies its Impacts Adaptation Workg Group. This ensure that PNACC complements adaptation strategies, plans programmes put place by regional government that it creates synergies between assessment fdgs durg methodology development. 5

8 S STATUS TUS OF THE FIRST ACTIVITIES The PNACC was developed mastream climate adaptation planng various secrs /or systems.to achieve this, PNACC s First Work Programme established four les action: i. Production regional climate scenarios. ii.assessment impact climate on water resources. iii.assessment impact climate on biodiversity. iv.assessment impact climate on coastal areas.

23 SECOND S LINE OF ACTION: A : MAINSTREAMING OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION APTAT TION INTO LEGISLATION The goal this strategic le action is mastream climate adaptation explicitly secral regulations. This represents an essential element brgg about one PNACC s ultimate objectives, which is mastream climate adaptation planng various secrs /or systems. True anticipary or proactive adaptation takes place when, from itial stages planng process, climate impacts vulnerability are considered alternatives that mimize imize se impacts reduce vulnerability are identified. This can be ensured if secral legislation or cross-cuttg planng struments, such as spatial planng, make this requirement mary. It also cludes subsequent draftg technical guideles, recommendations, guides good practice, etc. for correspondg secrs as a ol support effective mastreamg. Two legislative levels are proposed for this le action state level, which be co-ordated by OECC, regional level, which be implemented by regional government. Both l be closely co-ordated ensure each admistrative level s areas authority are respected. Powers potentially affected by climate also exist at municipal level.these regulations (municipal ordances) have capacity tegrate climate impacts, vulnerability adaptation refore this level also be considered this le action. Implementation this le action is timely, as European Commission is currently undertakg a review common secral policies that be affected by impacts climate (through White Paper on Adaptg Climate Change) identifyg existg regulary struments which adaptation must be secrally tegrated.for example, ample,this process is beg implemented ented policies correspondg Biodiversity (Birds Directive, Habitats Directive, Natura 2000 Network), Water (Water Framework Directive, Floods Directive), Agriculture (Common Agricultural Policy), Environmental Assessment (Environmental Impact Assessment Directive, Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive), Energy Transport (Trans- European Transport Energy Networks), etc. 21

24 The Second Work Programme aims address systematically ticall y all secrs cluded PNACC identify, with participation pation terested stakeholders relevant authorities, best procedures means (usually legislative lative struments, but may also volve or admistrative ols) achieve this mastreamg. Initially, secrs which this legislative mastreamg be undertaken en are those which h MARM exercises ercises power Environmental Assessment (EIA SEA), Agriculture, Fisheries Mare Environment, Rural Development, Coastal Areas,Wa Water, Biodiversity, National Parks Forests. Subsequently, itiative be extended d clude or secrs featured PNACC, without overlookg opportunities that may arise as a consequence legislative reviews under way. In First Work Programme, progress has already been made this field examples clude mastreamg water resources ( requirement take effects climate account water planng 2 ), soil desertification 3 secrs. In forestry secr, ma state-level evel planng (Forestry Strategy, Forestry Plan) regulary struments nts (Law 43/2003, on Forests, amended by Law 10/2006) adopted recent ent years have corporated assessment climate impacts adaptation basic forestry planng criteria. SCHEDULE AND PROGRESS INDICATORS The schedule for implementg this le action cludes followg milesnes: - By 2010: Identification secral regulary struments where mastreamg is be applied. - secral regulations development guideles, technical structions, recommendations guides good practice. The progress dicars for this le action be grouped two categories: - Number regulations /or admistrative ols secrs which mastreamg has been applied state, regional local legislation. - Number struments secrs for which guideles, recommendations, endations, guides good practice, ce, etc. have been developed ed for application. 2 Royal Decree 907/2007, Water Planng Regulation, Official State Journal 7 July 2007; Order ARM/2656/2008,Water Planng Instructions, Official State Journal 22 September Programme Combat Desertification), Official State Journal 19 August 2008, cludes many references PNACC as a key element this field. 22

25 L MOBILIZATION THIRD LINE OF ACTION: OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN SECTORSS INCLUDED IN THE PNACCC : The goal third le action is apply sections PNACC relatg participation, communication awareness- raisg education. In general, activities this third le action be implemented an tegrated manner complement secral assessments carried out first le. PARTICIPATION ATION Participation by public private secral stakeholders identifyg adaptation options measures should derive from knowledge generated by activities ities assess impacts vulnerability. The aim is mobilize key stakeholders that are participate process adaptg climate secrs wheree public private itiative is necessary. This activity was already itiated some secrs durg PNACC s First Work Programme by makg contact t with certa stakeholders. The Second Work Programme consolidate systematize this le action, identifyg key stakeholders secrs cluded establishg appropriate riate participation processes. In general, activities this le action follow structure described below: - Identification key stakeholders:the aim is identify key public, social private stakeholders various secrs, determe ir role eventual entual responsibilities identify existg secral participation co-ordation bodies, if applicable, ensure communication participation efforts are appropriately priately channelled. In accordance with PNACC, this task result creation a database stakeholders participation bodies for at least secrs addressedd Work Programme s second le action. - Participation processes: Based on results identification process, aim is set up develop mechanisms for volvg most appropriate priate stakeholders ensure mastreamg climate adaptation each secrs addressed. In accordance with PNACC, se processes prcipally be developed two stages.these are critical parts this procedure allow differentiated ed goals be pursued (i) Planng execution assessment climate impacts, vulnerability adaptation. In this stage, goals participation process should be: a. To compile ex available knowledge formation. b. To focus secral assessments on needs detected, identifyg climate adaptation measures each secr explorg opportunities private secr implement m. 23

26 (ii) c. To guarantee a co-ordated consistent approach proach by all stakeholders with terests, or who carry out, research assessment ent activities. i i Presentation results projects assessment activities. In this stage, several goals can be addressed: d: a. Dissemate promote results assessments options ons for adaptg climate, cludg considerationn busess opportunities arisg from m. b. Debate foster application results by each stitution responsible. c. Decide on need undertake possible new les research assessment secr,,which can supplement work carried ried out improve decision-makg. d. Agree on creation dissemation products. INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION AND AWARENESS-RAISING AR ING In compliance with requirements PNACC as regards formation, communication awareness-raisg, sg, Second Work Programme plans create measures, activities ities products appropriate for each secr..the type specific product developed for each secr take account followg: o Resultss conclusions assessments. o Communication with stakeholders, which provide a focus for actions products identify most appropriate priate communication channels. As mentioned above, this process be carried out alongside secral assessment ent activities established first le action. It identify specific needs result subsequent draftg tailor- made communication plans. In addition, PNACC cludes a series general communication awareness-raisg activities that be contued Second Programme. In particular, se clude measures raise awareness among general public about actions under way, such as: - Reports progress dicars on PNACC its Work Programmes. - Awareness-raisg sg actions associated with implementation system climate dicars described fourth le action. 24

27 - Segundo Programa de trabajo - - Production educational material (atlases, data sheets on progress recorded secral assessments, CDs, leaflets). - Regular paper or electronic ectronic newsletters with formation on activities carried out under PNACC. - Awareness-raisg about activities results through events, fora, meetgs, semars national ternational publications. - Responses queries requests for formation. EDUCATION As regards education, as is case with or aspects addressed this le action, attention be paid identifyg needs defg associated activities arisg from secral work carried out framework first le action. Additionally, Second Work Programme PNACC start workg, co-ordation on with CENEAM (Centro Nacional de reportg Mistry Environment Rural Mare Affairs, identify education needs as a first step wards developg specific modules activities, at a later stage, co-ordatg tegratg m with existg trag education programmes. SCHEDULE AND PROGRESS INDICATORS This le action be carried out contuously ously throughout The schedule depend largely on how various secral activities develop. As regards general activities, milesnes are as follows: - By 2010: Start compilation stakeholder database. - By 2011: Establish a workg framework with CENEAM. Their progress dicars be as follows: - Number stakeholder groups identified stakeholder database (tal by secr). - Number meetgs held with secral stakeholders at each stage identified; number participatg stakeholders. - Number secral communication plans implemented. - Number awareness-raisg products, mentions press participation public arenas. - Number queries answered (as an dicar amount terest est raised). - Number education courses given number students. 25

28 F L N: SYSTEM OF INDICATORS FOURTH LINE OF ACTION: OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS AND ADAPTATION APTAT TION IN SPAIN A major, cross-cuttg aspect climate adaptation that remas unaddressed at national al level is creation a system dicars climate impacts adaptation. The goal is establish a monirg assessment ent strument guide future implementation PNACC. Furrmore, rmore, system dicars provide valuable formation that can be used for communication awareness-raisg purposes. This activity is systematically y cluded les action established PNACC for various secrs systems. The proposed system dicars is structured secrally covers systems secrs cluded PNACC, as shown followg table: Biodiversity Water resources Forests Agriculture Coastal areas Huntg freshwater fishg Mounta areas Soils Fisheries mare ecosystems Transport Human health Industry energy Tourism Fance surance Urban planng construction 26

29 - Segundo Programa de trabajo - Initially, system dicars prcipally be implemented ented secrs cluded Second Work Programme. Aga, undertakg this le action now is timely fits European context, as European Commission, as part process reviewg secral policies affected by impacts climate, proposes s developg a series dicars monir climate impacts progress made terms adaptation. Similarly, 2008, European Environment Agency published report assessment, a benchmark for implementg this le work. The OECC co-ordate manage this system dicars climate impacts.t To do so, it create a conceptual framework based on followg criteria: - The system dicars climate impacts adaptation has a dual objective:(i) monirg for assessment (ii) awareness- raisg. - The system dicars climate impacts adaptation prcipally combe Spa s existg networks, systematic observation programmes dicar systems. Consequently, this activity s added value consists enablg aggregation jot analysis data observations from various sources with aim generatg ng new formation, avoidg duplication dicars respectg origal data sources. In event that formation is be corporated from regional networks managed by regional government, it be requested from relevant regional department. - The system help identify observation monirg needs that are not currently covered by existg networks. In this case, resultg development proposals be made. One features proposed system dicars is that it is open expable. - The dicars climate impacts refer ma national ternational reference frameworks on matter (GCOS, GTOS, GOOS, SISESCG, ONERC, BPIA 4, etc.) - To put this activity operation, OECC establish agreements relations with relevant bodies, groups stitutions responsible for systematic observation areas covered by this dicar system, with aim enablg regulatg access, exchangg managg data dissematg results. 4 GCOS: Global Climate Observg System GTOS: Global Terrestrial Observg System GOOS: Global Ocean Observg System (System Assessment Monirg Impact Global Change National Parks) (National Observary on Effects Climate Change), France Mistry Environment Rural Mare Affairs 27
