2 Imprint As a federally owned enterprise, GIZ supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development.

3 Rationale Objective Ensure that programmess and projects are climate-resilient Ensure that safeguards are in place in the project cycle Importance Thinking about climate change and adaptation measures at appropriate stages of the project cycle can... ensure that the projects/programmes continue to address priority development needs maximise positive benefits of projects, avoid lost investments and maladaptation Application Specific questions at specific stages of the project cycle General Strategic planning, progress review, operational planning Seite Page 33

4 Why think about adaptation at project level? Two different links Goals of a project could be threatened by climate change (and therefore the project needs to be adapted) activities have an impact on social or ecological systems (i.e. influence the vulnerability of a system positively or negatively) Most relevant projects are: Long-lived investments (roads, dams, coastal or irrigation infrastructure) climate-sensitive sectors (water, agriculture, disaster risk management, health, coastal development, area-based planning, etc.) long-term planning Seite Page 44

5 Integrating adaptation in the project cycle Sector investment programme Identification Assess potential climate risks and effects on vulnerability Monitor and evaluate implementation of adaptation measures within projects Monitoring and evaluation Appraisal Undertake in-depth climate risk assessments For new project: implement selected adaptation options For ongoing projects: carry out interventions of previous stages, then implement adaptation options Implementation Detailed design Identify adaptation options Prioritise and select adaptation options Source: OECD Policy Guidance (2009) Page Seite Page 55

6 Exercise (1) Context Government of Zanadu wants to develop a systematic approach to assess the development projects/programmes in the country in the view of climate change Government of Zanadu (GoZ) has asked an expert group for support your working group Exhibits Exhibit Guiding questions for integrating adaptation into development projects Box Questions to ask when dealing with climate change as a project manager briefs Seite Page 66

7 Exercise (2a) Your task, Part 1 Your expert group advises the GoZ on integrating climate change adaptation into the project cycle (in general) Sector investment programme Identification Use Matrix 15 Consider at what stage in the project cycle the questions in Exhibit 8 are relevant M&E implementation Monitoring and evaluation Implementation Identification Appraisal Detailed design appraisal Detailed Design Source: GIZ adapted from OECD Seite Page 77

8 Exercise (2b) Your task, Part 2 Your expert group now advises ministries on their projects (project brief) In Matrix 16 With the 1st question screen if there are likely impacts from climate change on the project s objectives and activities. With the 2nd question check if the project s activities might (inadvertently) increase beneficiaries exposure and/or sensitivity. With the 3rd question discuss opportunities for the project to enhance to beneficiaries adaptive capacity and thus decrease vulnerabilities. With the 4th question examine if and how the project s objectives and activities can benefit from climate change. In Matrix 17 determine at what stage in the project cycle you are. In Matrix 18 develop suggestions on how to integrate adaptation into the project Seite Page 88

9 Exercise (3) Results (please specify) Logistics Case work Presentation of results (please specify how) Reflection Seite Page 99

10 Example GIZ: Climate Proofing for Development Seite 10

11 Preparation Collect and compile climate change information in a user-friendly way Identification of 1. Climatic trends and the impact on the planning 2. Time horizon of the planning relevant to these climatic trends 3. Planning elements particularly affected by climate change (exposure units) Seite Page 11 11

12 Climate stimulus Increase in precipitation variability Increase in average temperature Exposure unit Forests Bio-physical (direct) effect Increase in the frequence and intensity of fires at the forest edges Changes in forest composition Options for action Fire management Biomonitoring (climate-sensitive / used species) Control of invasive species Integration of CC into forest management plan Relevance for the planning Direct impact on the achievement of objectives (Protection and conservation of forests) Low adaptive capacity due to planning deficits High probability of impacts Socio-economic (indirect) effect Loss of utilisation potential (Timber & NTFP) Loss of income Food insecurity Wildlife conflicts Seite Page Source: GIZ

13 Mali: Climate Proofing for Development in projects in Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Steps Discussion with Malian stakeholders, Trainings and workshops on various tools Application of Climate Proofing for Development in 2 SLM projects and evaluation Development of a manual Establishment of an expert pool Trainings for government institutions and NGOs Integration in the planning cycles of SLM projects Monitoring of use and optimisation (e.g. quality control) Seite Page 13 13

14 Example PADESO PADESO: Programme d Appui au Développement Durable de l Elevage au Sahel Occidental (PADESO) 4-year programme Target group: pastoralists and small-scale famers Regions: Kayes, Koulikoro and Ségou Identified adaptation options (examples) Pass meteorological information and forecasts on to farmers Protection of infrastructure against extreme events Restoration of degraded land and erosion prevention Promotion of adapted livestock species and crop varieties Seite Page 14 14
