2 Overview I. GTZ in the field of Cities and Climate Change II. Urban Governance and Adaptation Challenges III. GTZ s approach in Urban Development Levels and Stakeholders IV. Examples from the field V. Next steps to go VI. Summary Seite 22

3 I. GTZ in the field of cities and climate change GTZ s Climate Strategy: Cities and Climate Change is an innovation theme New procedures: - Climate Check: -> Climate Proofing -> Emission Saving - Portfolio Screening Concepts - Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies - Sector Concepts - Project Approaches Seite 33

4 I. GTZ in the field of cities and climate change Instruments - Trainings for GTZ staff and technical staff in partner countries; - Events, information & communication Advisory Tools - GHG-inventories - City indicators - Urban vulnerability assessments Coordination with key partners - ICLEI, Climate Alliance, Cities Alliance, Worldbank, UN-HABITAT, UNEP, UCLG Internet plattform on cities and climate: URBANET Seite 44

5 II. Urban Governance and Adaptation Challenges Urbanization is proceeding rapidly and in many countries urban development takes places informally, independent from planning processes! Innovative urban practices and good urban governance approaches still have to integrate adaptation to climate change in a more systemic way Consideration of social dimension of climate change by pro poor urban planning Urban governance addresses challenges at political, urban planning and socio-economic level Integrated adaptation planning is important, but not sufficient for establishing sustainable development Seite 55

6 Challenges for integrated adaptation planning Success of integrated adaptation strategies depends on -> supportive institutional environment at the local, regional, national and international level -> adequate tools for political dialogue and conflict mediation -> access to financial resources for adaptation measures Adaptation requires a CHANGE in the multilevel institutional framework, shaping policies, incentives, decisions, and actions Seite 66

7 III. GTZ s Approach in Urban Development Levels & Stakeholders Supranational Level Regional Cooperation/ Integration National Level Regional Level Decentralisation - Frame conditions for Urban Development Strategies Regional Development - Regional Governance - Regional Management Multi-Level- Governance Local Level Municipal and Urban Development - Urban Governance Public Sector - Executive - Legislative - Municipal Associations etc. Private Sector - Enterprises - Associations etc. Civil Society - NGOs - CBOs - other Groups of civil society Multi- Stakeholder Seite 77

8 Cities as players in climate change The challenge of climate change can only be met successfully if its impact and interference with all urban sectors is recognized. Multi- Disciplinarity Energy Housing Transport Waste Settlement Water Industries etc. all levels of governance are addressed and involved / considered in urban planning and urban management. Multi-Level- Governance Supranational National Regional Local Urban Governance all stakeholders cooperate equitable and join their forces. Multi- Stakeholder Public Private Civil Seite 88

10 IV. Examples from the field Informal Settlements and Vulnerable Groups Climate Adaptation Disaster Risk Management -> Bangladesh, Central America, Mozambique Urban Development and Eco City -> China, Mongolia Regionalisierung, Annette Bähring Dezentralisierung, Kommunal und Stadtentwicklung Seite 10 10

11 Informal Settlements and Vulnerable Groups Climate Adaptation Disaster Risk Management For example: Central America, Mozambique, Bangladesh Problems: Over a billion people live in slums, suffering from insufficient living space, lack of access to clean water, inadequate sanitation and insecure tenure Inhabitants are particularly exposed to natural disasters due to climate change Service: Supporting national adaptation strategies Advice on climate change adapted disaster prevention and preparedness measures, risk assessment, mediation tools Support to land-use and spatial planning with a focus on natural hazards caused by climate change Results: Improved capacities regarding adaptation strategies Reduction of vulnerability Seite 11 11

12 Urban Development and Eco City For example: China, Mongolia Seite Seite12 12

13 Contributions of the German Development Cooperation Supporting cost-efficient national climate adaptation strategies including the adjustment of sectoral policies, capacity development and institution building Supporting the development and implementation of pilot applications of state-of-the-art concepts discussed in the international arena and arising partners in drawing conclusions and lessons learned Helping create necessary multilevel governance framework to explore linkages between international, national and urban policies Sharing know-how and climate-friendly technologies between countries (urban planning, energy-efficient building, infrastructure concepts) Fostering political dialogue in order to exchange experiences with climate change strategies Seite 13 13

14 V. Next steps to go Improve the understanding of how climate change impacts on urban areas and how urban areas can adapt to climate change Explore policy options for urban planning in response to climate change with emphasis on urban governance, financial measures and capacity development for all stakeholders Improve the interaction between scientific community, urban planners and representatives of the private sector and civil society Seite 14 14

15 VI. Summary Adaptation to climate change requires informed and participatory decision making procedures, adequate implementation structures and capacities, and incentives - all crucial parts of an urban governance system Mainstreaming adaptation to climate change into urban development is fundamental Adaptation to climate change must be integrated consequently in every urban strategy and every urban action plan -> GTZ is supporting partner countries through promoting supportive institutional arrangements and coordination, adequate governance tools, and better access to financial resources Seite 15 15

16 Linking Levels Thank you for your attention! Seite 16 16

17 Cultural Heritage and Urban Development For example: Lviv (Ukraine) Problems: In 70% of all historic buildings no rehabilitation realised; danger of deterioration Conflict of interests Service: Strengthening operational and management structures at local level (urban action programm, initating programmes for financial incentives) Awareness raising for careful restoration of buildings amongst citizens, administration and building-involved people Training of workmen, architects, engineers on renovation of historical buildings through Pilotprojects Support to energy-efficient renovation technologies Mediation between social, economical and ecological aspects Supporting policy dialogues, participatory workshops Expected Results: Climate-friendly preservation and revitalisation of the cultural heritage Acceleration of the economic and social development Community roles and initiatives are strengthened Seite 17 17
