Location Algeria – Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development/DGF

Framework Purpose: Handling forest fire climate risks through proactive mitigation measures and preparedness plans.

Degree of priorityRecommended by: The Algerian National Climate Plan (validation in 2013). The National Adaptation to CC Action Plan (PNA-ACC, 2003)

Costs of impacts (including most affected groups)

- direct impacts on forest resources caused to forest fires- indirect impacts: reduction in the contribution of the forest

to the economic activities of rural people using forest resources

Key Components

Component 1: start a dialogue with all institutions involved Component 2: coordinate with the partners the

elaboration of study Component 3: Carry out a technical approval process with

the Institutions involved in the forest fires management.

Contribution of the project ENPI South Clima

Two national workshops well as meetings: start a dialogue and carry out a technical approval process

study that will provide i) technical options for the implementation of this SIAPCC-Forest and ii) definition of a timely and effective Fire Forest Index

Initiate and sustain a twinning process with similar programs and operational system of European countries

Key partners Ministries of Environment, Agriculture Civil Protection, stakeholders on the field, University … Meteorological department and other data providers

Deliverablesknowledge on current mechanism for management of forest fires is improved and shortcomings are identifiedBasis and technical options for setting up an S I A P C C - F o r e t are identified

Location Beirut urban area as well as a rural area (to be identified)/Lebanon

Degree of prioritygradual and unpredictable emergence of extreme weather/water (floods, ..) Topography of Lebanon is rugged that provides devastating effects

Costs of impacts (including most affected groups)

in rural areas: the poorest farmers who are poorly resilient to the hazards of climatein urban areas: people in poor neighborhoods

Key Components

Component 1: start a dialogue with all institutions as well as stakeholders

Component 2: Coordinate with the partners the elaboration of study

Component 3: communication activities around climate risks and the best way to start the operationalization of the system

Location The irrigated area of Bssissi/Gabes region (to be confirmed)

Degree of priorityA Recommendation of the national strategy for adaptation of agriculture and ecosystems to CCA pilot initiative has shown that weather information brings a significant added value in farming (water, pesticide, .)

Most signifiant consequences

- increased evapotranspiration inducing an increase in water needs

- overexploitation of groundwater increasing the cost of pumping charged to the farmer

- New weather conditions favorable to the emergence of diseases

Definition of the adaptation

measure/inputs

The purpose is to provide climatological information to farmers, thereby increasing their resilience to CC by:Using groundwater resources in an effective manner Managing the pesticide treatments in a rational mannerBetter field works planning and protection of the production.

Key Components

Component 1: Establish a thorough dialogue with farmers, Component 2: Mobilize the expertise and support to accompany

farmers Component 3: Develop a socio-economic study Component 4: A communication strategy

Key partnersFarmers, and farmer’s organizationsLocal policy makers & Agriculture local Division National Meteorological Institute (INM)

Deliverables

A socio-economic study showing that: The groundwater resources (scarce resource) are used more

efficiently Electric power for pumping is used more efficiently Improved farmers resilience through a farmers more aware by

the rational and sustainable management of their activity

Synergy with the other components

Benefit from opportunities for collaboration in adaptation to CC at the regional level

Benefit from the opportunities created by the changes in the region (a mobilized civil society, a growing interest for vulnerable populations)

A willingness expressed by all partners to promote implementation of concrete adaptation measures to CC

Mainstreaming adaptation to CC in the development process

Climate observation Networks

4 Network density and climate observation capabilities acceptable

Data management 4 Collection capabilities and data management are of a high performance

CC projection & modelling data

5 Good skills associated with good experience at national and international levels

Data use & sharing to identify vulnerability

2 Little shared and limited to a few ad-hoc initiatives

Very poor under-standing of the added value of these data

Data use & sharing for adaptation

Assessment of Socio-economic data related to climate change


Availability data assessment 4

interesting amount of technical and socio-economic data available

Some shortcomings and deficiencies exist

Data use for the identification of the vulnerability

3 relative accessibility of the sectorial user

the exchange of data is the main gap

Data use for the vulnerability assessment

2 some sectoral initiatives Data sharing not organized

Data use for the implementation of adaptation measures

2 some sectoral initiatives Data sharing not organized

Appraisal of the vulnerability assessment


Rapid identification of vulnerability at the national level exists

4 Done

Rapid assessments of the vulnerability at the sectoral level exist

4Done but differences exist among sectors

Exchange of data is the main gap

Comprehensive assessments of vulnerability at the sectoral level exist

2,5There are no comprehensive assessment

The rapid identification of sectoral vulnerability needs to be updated, both regarding data and tools used.


National vision for adaptation to CC 4,5 Relatively clear vision for

adaptation to CC

This vision is characterized by a territorial approach

National strategy/programme /plan for adaptation to CC through addressing adverse effects and increase climate resilience

3,5

National strategy for CC is under development. Some classical adaptation to CC measures need to be further developed and more argued

First dialogue in the framework of the National plan of action against global warming (2009)

Sectoral strategies for adaptation to CC or increase resilience

3,5No sectoral strategies of adaptation to CC; however, Some interesting initiatives

Some sectoral development strategy includes CC issue

CC Mainstreaming / adaptation to CC in the strategic development planning process

3

Some interesting initiatives of mainstreaming CC but no structured and systematic methodological approach on this issue

Limited level of awareness about adverse effects of CC in Morocco as well a lack of mainstreaming tool

Costing of adaptation to climate change 1,5 No rapid assessment of

adaptation to CC costing Still unknown issue

Assessment of the adaptation to climate change

Focus Rating Status CommentsAre stakeholders informed about funding for adaptation to CC?

2 Except partners from MinEMWE and ADA no other partner is informed

Are there any CC adaptation projects clearly identified?

4Some adaptation projects have been identified and implemented and others are under development

Are these CC adaptation projects defined according to the required format?

3

Adaptation projects executed were defined with partners (GTZ, AFD and UNDP) and there are no on-going projects with funding allocated to adaptation under the UNFCCC and the GEF

Lack of skills & capacity in the field

Do national capacities allow formulation of project document, according to the formats required by donors?

2 Absence of national capacities on this issue

ADA is an Executive Agency of the FA that must be supported

Assessment of Access to adaptation to climate change financing


Level of awareness of stakeholders to environmental challenges as well as CC/adaptation to CC.

3Various degree of involvement of partners in the national dialogue

Coordination should be improved to overcome administrative barriers to reach all partners

Level of awareness of Civil Society/NGO to environmental challenges as well as CC/adaptation to CC .

4 Highly diversified with good level of awareness

Do Stakeholders have a good understanding of adaptation to CC?

3

Limited to partners from MinEMWE, the water department and the ADA and some national resource persons

Resource persons are not really integrated into the national dialogue

Does civil society have a good understanding of adaptation to CC?

4 A higher level of understanding

Is not considered as a full partner in dialogue

Adaptation to CC

The institutional adaptation capacities are limited which gives a weak CC mainstreaming in the development process

Some classical adaptation to CC measures identified that need to be further developed and better argued.
