Tunis, July 18, 2012
LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillars
• Responsiveness to Convention Guidance
• Responsiveness to developing
country needs and consequent need for predictability of resources
• Moving to the next stage of LDCF
and SCCF funding – a programmatic approach
• Responsiveness to Independent
Evaluations of the Strategic Priority on Adaptation (SPA) and the LDCF
• Complementarity among different
adaptation related funds
LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillar 1 Responsiveness to UNFCCC guidance
COP (8-18) – Increasing formal recognition of need for urgent adaptation action and provision of sources for adaptation financing
COP7 in 2001 – SPA, LDCF, SCCF
COP9 additional SCCF guidance
COP11 LDCF guidance on the implementation of NAPAs

LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillar 2 Responsiveness to vulnerable developing country
needs
Urgent adaptation needs estimated at US $2 billion for LDCs alone
SCCF adaptation financing estimated at $250 million per year
Lack of predictability of financial resources. Unlike the GEF, which is replenished every four years, the LDCF and SCCF receive voluntary contributions without a regular replenishment schedule
LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillar 3 Moving to the next stage of LDCF and SCCF funding – a
programmatic approach
Higher level of resource availability scaling up adaptation
Continue to include investments in adaptation activities directly on the ground
To a much larger degree include policy support aimed at helping countries to mainstream adaptation into policies and planning
Creating the capacity necessary to absorb and utilize adaptation technology transfer
Supporting a process to achieve more climate resilient economies.
LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillar 4 Responsiveness to Independent Evaluations
Evaluations
GEF EO & DANIDA: LDCF & Follow up
GEF EO: SPA
GEF EO: SCCF
LDCF & SCCF Common Themes
Increase level of resource availability
Increase visibility of the funds
LDCF SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Pillar 5 Complementarity among Adaptation-related Funds
LDCF and SCCF are the only Convention Funds currently in operation
GCF only other fund to finance adaptation, but not operational yet
Seeking synergies with KP and non-convention Funds:
AF, GEF Agencies’ in-house funds, bilateral TFs
Avoiding duplication
Discouraging use of adaptation financing to leverage additional adaptation financing (E.g., another adaptation initiative cannot be considered as baseline cofinancing)
Innovative Features of LDCF/SCCF
Additional Cost Principle (no GEBs and IC)
Full Cost Funding option
Expedited Project Cycle
Increased limit for CEO Approval (LDCF MSPs)
Ongoing dialog with recipient countries, especially LDCs Financing sub-regional workshops in collaboration with
UNFCCC
Outreach to agencies
Use of existing forums, e.g. GEF’s Extended Constituency Meetings, international meetings such as climate talks, etc.

LDCF and SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Objectives 1. Reduce vulnerability to the adverse
impacts of climate change – e.g. reduced risks to economic losses through implementation of adaptation measures
2. Increase adaptive capacity to respond to the impacts of climate change – e.g. within relevant development sectors and natural resources; diversified and strengthened livelihoods and sources of income
3. Promote transfer and adoption of adaptation technologies – e.g. successful demonstration, deployment and transfer of relevant adaptation technologies as defined under the Climate Convention
LDCF and SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Objectives 1. CCA-1: Reduce
vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change, including variability, at local, national, regional and global level
Outcome 1.1: Mainstreamed adaptation in broader development frameworks at country level and in targeted vulnerable areas
Outcome 1.2: Reduced vulnerability to climate change in development sectors
Outcome 1.3: Diversified and strengthened livelihoods and sources of income for vulnerable people in targeted areas
11
LDCF and SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Objectives 1. CCA-2: Increase adaptive
capacity to respond to the impacts of climate change, including variability, at local, national, regional and global level
Outcome 2.1: Increased knowledge and understanding of climate variability and change-induced threats at country level and in targeted vulnerable areas
Outcome 2.2: Strengthened adaptive capacity to reduce risks to climate-induced economic losses
Outcome 2.3: Strengthened awareness and ownership of adaptation and climate risk reduction processes at local level
LDCF and SCCF Adaptation Strategy: Objectives 1. CCA-3: Promote transfer
and adoption of adaptation technology
Outcome 3.1: Successful demonstration, deployment, and transfer of relevant adaptation technology in targeted areas
Outcome 3.2: Enhanced enabling environment to support adaptation-related technology transfer
