Our community of practice:
building an iterative learning process
COP 22
Marrakech D&C
days
CBA conference
Uganda
COP 23
Asia
CBA conference
Asia
Iterating learning: global-national-local
Open & safe space
Nurturing ambition and innovation
Reward learning irrespective of success or failure

Delivering the ambition of Paris…

Negotiating the Paris rule book…
where we are at…
Marrakech theme was implementation, but…
• Early entry into force – so now v procedural
• Challenge to agree rules so inclusive, transparent
• Suspend CMA for 1 year (or 2), ie decisions agreed at once or in
stages
• Issues interrelate, so sequencing & balance key
The rules:
• Review mechanisms, NDCs & communications
• synchronised pledge and review (NDCs 5+5)
• Global transparency (compliance, global stocktake)
• balance on action and finance
• Compliance vs facilitating implementation
(downward accountability on finance: national & local)

Negotiation on areas of action
Mitigation communications
• More uniformity in pledge and review – flex for LDCs
Adaptation communications
• NAPs or not, flexibility for LDCs, guidance on reporting
(capture what works, but min reporting burden)
Climate finance
• the Roadmap to $100 billion – detail on mechanisms not just promises
• Flexibility on reporting (LDCs want help, not to be left out)
• Ada target – doubling (to 27%) not enough – 50%?
• Fair finance for the climate vulnerable: the LDCs, SIDS – Ada Fund, LDCF
Gender
• 3 year continuation of Lima work prog – to promote gender responsive programming
Capacity development
• Long term investment to build capabilities (instead of fly-in, fly-out TA)
• Additional work under LDCF to build project pipeline
Loss and damage
• limits of ada: support for mobility, dignity – included in review mechanism or?

Nov 2016Fair finance: the credibility gap
& not reaching poor countries or
allocated for what reaches poor people
just 8% of
climate finance
disbursed
Limited finance hasn’t thwarted
innovation, but will slow scale up

Paris Agreement implementation
build on what works
• Not a blank sheet
• many mistakes & successes to learn from eg fast start
• flexible finance to local level builds agile institutions for resilience
• National climate funds can nudge development processes (Bangladesh, Ethiopia)
• Set a long term vision & pathways to get there
• Climate change strategies integrated into development & investment planning
• Eg energy futures, land use, coherent risk management
• Increase quality of learning
• Support rapid iteration - ie action learning cycles (doing development different)
• Locally owned, patient processes
• working with the grain, challenge with new narratives, politically astute & tactical
• Building progressive coalitions across society (Parliamentarians, Media etc)
• Master planning vs delivery focus
• Learn lessons from PRSPs, NAPAs, NAMAs

Lessons for those supporting NDCs
from PRSPs, NAMAs, NAPAs
• Aim for holistic, coherent policy behind a long term vision
• Enable countries to map out their own direction –support in line with
demand and perceived need
• Allow framing to fit national process and language
• Support multi-stakeholder reflection, dialogue and engagement at
national and local levels
• Help with diagnostics – without being too prescriptive about policy
directions
• Support south-south learning (e.g. Bangladesh a global leader on
adaptation)
• Invest long term in implementation capacity at local and national levels
(institutions, training courses)
• Keep close eye on who will win and lose
• And devolve decisions to local levels to enable inclusion and
accountability
And focus on what works not the perfect plan….

Learning so far…
Climate informed poverty reduction
• Increasingly variable climate makes it harder for the
poor to step out and stay out of poverty.
• Need better monitoring (& evidence) on persistence of development results
• Track who benefits - climate-vulnerable poor, women, youth, excluded
• Track how climate change interacts with poverty, what works.
• Climate positive development, through instruments that
reduce poverty and enable adaptation
• Shock responsive or adaptive social protection, contingency $$ & insurance
triggered by forecasts
• Resilient local economies - livelihoods, markets, jobs through climate positive
agriculture, enterprise, manufacturing
• Decentralisation an opportunity for building local agile institutions
• Mitigation can also reduce poverty and support ada
• Off grid renewables (HH solar, mini grids) also democratise energy
• Cities planning, transport that is pro-poor and lower energy…

& so the D&C themes
From Paris to Marrakech to COP 23
1. Action towards the Paris ambition
• explore ambitious, pragmatic and politically feasible climate solutions that
tackle mitigation and adaptation
• innovative strategies that catalyse climate leadership at all levels
2. Just and equitable decision making for climate resilience
• role of local communities, civil society + governments + donors, in promoting
transparency and accountability in decision making - so that the distribution of
adaptation benefits and climate finance is equitable and just
• how climate finance for adaptation and resilience might better reach the local
level and what is needed for this to go to scale
3. Managing climate risks in resilient development
• Explore innovation to bridge climate humanitarian development divide in
efforts to increase resilience:
• social policy, innovative finance mechanisms (such as forecast based financing),
environmental management for climate adaptation (e.g. ecosystem-based adaptation)

CBA conference with
MCCCA, Uganda
Bring together govt, NGO, think tanks and
researchers…
• Follow through themes of ambition, equitable
decision making, climate risk management
• Particular focus on role of ecosystem based
adaptation
• … what else?
(let us know at end of D&C days)
