Presentation by Nicolina Lamhauge, OECD, as part of the webinar " Strengthening Alignment Between Adaptation to Climate Change – Disaster Risk Management – Sustainable Development", held on March 04, 2020.

1. Strengthening alignment between ‘adaptation to
climate change – disaster risk management –
sustainable development’
NAP Global Network webinar, 4 March 2020
Nicolina Lamhauge, OECD

2. Common Ground between Paris and Sendai
Objective: Examine countries’ efforts to adapt and build climate
resilience by strengthening links between the implementation of the
Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework
Different stakeholders, mandates and goals
Joint objective of a more sustainable, resilient and equitable future
Sustainable outcomes by the individual agendas is subject to the
successful implementation of them all
Informed by the country experience of Ghana, Peru and the
Philippines
Country approaches to CCA and DRR and coherence between the two
Role of development co-operation in taking this agenda forward

3. Coherence in CCA & DRR
Strategic: Aligned visions, targets and priorities on CCA &
DRR in national development plans and strategies,
providing a framework for pursuing operational coherence
Operational: Policy frameworks and institutional
arrangements supportive of the implementation of
aligned objectives on CCA & DRR
Technical: Technical capacities to assess the risks and
opportunities, to identify and prioritise CCA & DRR mea
sures and to finance them

4. Common Ground: approach
Financing
Data and information
Monitoring, evaluation and
learning
Policy and governance
Implementation

5. Align responsibility for co-ordination with responsibility
for implementation of CCA and DRR policies
Make tailored climate information readily available to
support evidence-based policy
Enhance capacity to translate coherence in planning into
coherence in implementation
Optimise long-term funding allocation across different
risks through budgeting tools, ex-ante financing plans
and greater transparency in public spending
Monitor, evaluate and learn from CCA and DRR

support evidence-based policy

7. Align responsibility for co-ordination with responsibility
for implementation of CCA and DRR policies
The Philippines
• CCA and DRR recognised in legal and policy frameworks as central and interrelated priorities:
• Climate Change Act (2009)
• Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act (2010)
• History of extreme events has contributed to established institutional mechanisms for DRR
• Scope to leverage mechanisms in place for DRR to increase awareness and action for CCA
• Local government units (LGUs) responsible for planning and implementing CCA and DRR
• Challenges of capacity constraints and plan proliferation widely recognised

8. Make tailored climate information readily available to
support evidence-based policy
Ghana
• Promote evidence-based CCA and DRM policies
• Progress coverage and quality of climate and disaster data and information, but
accessibility still restricted:
• Data and information in many cases, scattered among different sources.
• Some data only available at a cost, resulting in limited use
• Co-ordination sometimes lacking
• Different platforms developed to facilitate access and use of data and information for CCA
and DRR
• Improved data and information complemented with training sessions for users of the data.

9. Optimise long-term funding allocation across different
risks
Peru
• Comprehensive financial protection strategy against natural disasters:
• Budget line on “Disaster vulnerability reduction and emergency preparedness”
o Projects to promote structural or non-structural elements of the DRM cycle
o Build on existing DRM strategies and plans, risk assessments
• Public investments programme (inverte.pe)
o Using social discount rate, prioritising muti-purpose investments, ex-post evaluation
• Contingency reserve, contingent credit lines, among other
• Financing strategy for CCA not in place, but inter-ministerial NDC working group,
recognised the suitability of established financing mechanisms for DRR for CCA

10. Coherence in CCA & DRR: role of development
co-operation
Strategic: Support countries in aligning visions, targets
and priorities on CCA and DRR e.g. through guided
stakeholder consultations, awareness raising
Operational: Support countries in identifying opportunities
for coherence in implementation through strengthened
policy frameworks and institutional arrangements that
support local implementation
Technical: Support efforts to strengthen technical
capacities to assess climate and disaster risks and
opportunities, and to identify and prioritise CCA and
DRR measures.
