What is the GCCA ? Two complementary pillars

3

Enhanced dialogue with developing countries on climate change (Pillar 1)

Convergence of visions on a post-2012 climate regime

Regional conferences and declarations Asia, May 2010 Africa, October 2010 Pacific, March 2011 Caribbean, March 2011

Side events at UNFCC Cop National policy dialogues (see pillar 2)

4

Increased support for climate change

Second pillar of the GCCA € 206 million (2008-2011) € 83 million (2012-2013) Promote approaches to integrate climate change into

development planning and budgeting Focus on integration of climate change in poverty

reduction efforts, adaptation in water and agriculture, REDD, CDM and DRRo Mainstreaming programmes and workshopso Implementation of NAPAs

Budget support as preferred modality5

Technical and Financial support (Pillar 2)- What are the priorities ?

1. Mainstreaming climate change into poverty

reduction and development efforts

2. Adaptation actions in particular water and agriculture sectors

3. Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest degradation (REDD)

4. Enhancing participation in the global carbon market

5. Disaster Risk reduction (DRR)6

Technical and Financial support (Pillar 2)- What are we working on?

Lessons learned: aid effectiveness,mainstreaming & budget support

Ownership: supporting developing countries’ agendaso National development or sector strategieso National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs)

Alignment: using country systemso Promoting CC integration into national dvpt planning & budgeting

• Country programmes

• Training workshops with ministries of finance

o Budget support for climate change Harmonisation: improved coordination (within EU, with other partners)

o Joint financing (e.g. GCCA with IE, CY, CZ, SE, Estonia)o Joint programming (e.g. GCCA with DK, GE, UN)

Paving the way for scaled up climate change response through dialogue, capacity building and actions
