NAP Training Viet Nam - Vulnerability and Adapting to Climate ChangeUNDP Climate
This two-day workshop supported the Government of Viet Nam in building the necessary capacity to advance its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process. The workshop closely focused on building National Adaptation Plans in the agricultural sector through multi-stakeholder collaboration, and increased knowledge and capacity on a number of topics including: prioritization of adaptation options, cost-benefit analysis, overview of the broad-based nature of climate change adaption impacts, analysis of challenges, and creation of an open discussion with key stakeholders on defining a road-map for the NAP process. The workshop was delivered using discussions and case studies to enhance interactive learning for participants, with supporting presentations by GiZ and SNV.

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

1. Background and Context:
• State of the global climate
• Climate extremes, disaster risk
and sustainable development
2. Investments in CIEWS:
• Investment criteria
• Approved projects and Pipeline
3. Conclusion
3. Climate Extremes and Related
Disasters are on the Rise
WMO Statement on the State of the Global Climate for 2017 (WMO-No. 1212)
4. Key Concepts:
Disaster Risk, Climate Change and
Low-Emission Climate-Resilient Development
Source: IPCC, SREX 2013
• Disaster risk – intersection
of exposure, vulnerability
and hazard/extreme events
• Climate events affect
vulnerability to future
extreme events by
modifying resilience, coping
capacity, and adaptive
capacity
Climate disasters occur when extreme climatic events interact with vulnerable
social, economic and environmental conditions leading to severe alterations in
normal functioning of a community or a society.
5. Mandates for Investments in Climate Information
and Early Warning Systems
(sub-paragraph 7(c)) mentions: “..strengthening scientific
knowledge on climate, including research, systematic observation
of the climate system and early warning systems, in a manner that
informs climate services and supports decision-making..”
Paris
Agreement
(Board Decision B.07/04 (b) (iii)) mentions the need for: “...
increased generation and use of climate information in decision-
making..”
At B.07
the Board called on the Secretariat to develop an integrated
approach to enhance the climate rationale of GCF-supported
activities (Decision B.19/06).
