Systemic Subnational Adaptation in the Context of the NAP Process: Experience with performance-based climate resilience grants
- 1. Systemic Subnational Adaptation in the context of the NAP Process: Experience with performance-based climate resilience grants September/2019
- 2. Obstacles at subnational level • Most local authorities are unable to contribute effectively to climate change adaptation due to : Lack of capacities to mainstream CC into local public planning and budgeting systems/processes Lack of financing for revenue-generating private and public-private adaptation projects Sources of climate finance only available through application to national programmes
- 3. The Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) Facility A standard and country based mechanism
- 4. Based on experience across 14 countries
- 5. • Objectives: • Methodological input on local adaptation planning and mainstreaming processes and on the related performance- based climate resilience grants mechanism (financing component); • Support LDCs to address issues related to the planning and implementation of adaptation-oriented investments by local authorities using processes and structures in place; • Highlight the subnational level contribution to achieving national goals, such as the NAPs. • Audience: • National planners and decision–makers working on CC issues in LDCs; • Local political leaders and local authorities’ teams in charge of planning, budgeting, executing and monitoring – while integrating climate change; • Development partners and stakeholders who are working on issues related to climate change decentralization. • Approved at NAP Expo April 2019 in South Korea NAP – LoCAL Guidelines

Editor's Notes
- LoCAL serves as vehicle to bridge national with subnational adaptation action, providing both a financial and implementation mechanism for local adaptation outcomes, using the existing government structures, i.e. inte-governmental fiscal transfer system. By tapping into both financial and implementation aspects, LoCAL offers a unique instrument to downscale and integrate the NAP into the local level.
- 14 countries Experiences from the first five years of piloting and scaling up the mechanism across twelve countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific have provided a range of lessons and good practices for addressing adaptation at the local level.
- To complement the UNFCCC NAP Technical Guidelines, the UNFCCC invited agencies and partners to submit supplementary technical guidelines to target specific sectors or address critical issues and challenges. The local level is particularly important when it comes to planning, so that climate change can be incorporated into the corresponding processes (including local development plans, investment plan and budgets).Departing from the statement that local governments play an ever-increasing role in tackling climate change while generally lacking the institutional, technical and financial capacities to make a proactive contribution to building resilience, the supplementary guidelines on LoCAL intend to provide methodological input on local adaptation planning and mainstreaming processes and on the related performance based climate resilience grants mechanism. The NAP–LoCAL Guidelines represent UNCDF contribution to help countries address issues related to the planning and implementation of adaptation-oriented investments by local authorities- using processes and structures in place. The Guidelines are targeted to several audiences: i) national planners and decision–makers working on climate change issues in developing countries as LoCAL mechanism needs to get embedded in the national planning and budgeting system, ii) local political leaders and local authorities’ teams in charge of planning, budgeting , executing and monitoring – while integrating climate change, iii) development partners and stakeholders who are working on issues related to climate change decentralization.
- Highlight Community-driven planning and capacity building to LGAs on CCA mainstreaming (including on CVAs). This helps refine the adaptation planning at the local level so it responds to local needs.
