Benjamin Preston ORNL/IPCC: Adaptation Risk Management NAPExpo 2014
This document discusses assessing and managing climate change risk through adaptation and risk management. It outlines how climate risk is comprised of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. Adaptation approaches can range from incremental to transformational depending on the scale of response. Tools and guidance exist to help understand hazards, exposure, and vulnerability through various sources of knowledge and analytical methods. Adaptation options then need to be appraised and prioritized to manage risk, though challenges remain in incorporating climate uncertainty, evaluating adaptation success, and identifying limits to adaptation. Capacity building is also important to support effective national adaptation planning.

Mexico has shown international leadership in developing legislation, policy and programmes to support its transition to a low carbon economy. A general law on climate change was recently approved and a long term climate change strategy is under implementation, together with a multi-stakeholder approach to develop an institutional MRV framework to support NAMAs and LEDS.
The institutional MRV framework being implemented aims to go beyond simply tracking emission reductions and includes a set of measures, systems and registries to perform policy evaluation, institutional strengthening and ultimately support decision-making. Currently the MRV framework in Mexico consists of several mechanisms, including laws, reporting rules, estimation methodologies, and coordination among different institutions of the public and private sector.
These mechanisms continue to be developed and continuously improved and currently serve as a good example of progress towards a comprehensive national MRV framework.
The MRV institutional framework has long been financed through the Mexican Federal Government. However, several of the estimation methodologies, instruments, processes and policy design, particularly as they are related to LEDS and NAMAs, are funded with resources from international sources. Donors include the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, the European Union, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI), IADB, KfW, UNDP, USAID, and World Bank. Several donors are keen to work with the country, as Mexico’s development of an MRV framework makes it easier to track impact, making technical cooperation financing relatively more attractive than in other countries.

‘’Institutional Capacity for Climate Action: Missing Dimensions, Integrated...IFPRI Africa
Countries in the Global South have committed to the UNFCCC's Paris Agreement and have been preparing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) implementation and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). While they are in different stages of implementing these plans, several institutional capacity challenges need to be addressed in their progress toward a coordinated multisectoral delivery of these plans. In this presentation, we look at selected examples of institutional architecture for climate change actions and present a systematic way of studying and addressing these challenges. We bring lessons from Ghana, Malawi, Tajikistan, India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh to identify opportunities for strengthening local capacities of the policy, regulatory, investment, and governance systems. We argue multisectoral integration for climate action requires strengthening sectoral approaches and actions with climate mainstreaming, leveraging limited resources for climate action outcomes, and joint monitoring and tracking of the progress for national and global reporting.

This document provides an overview and analysis of the EU-Africa partnership and the EU-SADC EPA trade agreement. It discusses the context surrounding the Post-Cotonou debate on the future of EU-ACP relations and examines different scenarios for the partnership. It notes doubts around maintaining the ACP umbrella structure due to limited evidence it adds political value or can effectively address global challenges. The document also analyzes challenges that have prevented the EU-Africa strategy from achieving political aspirations and provides recommendations for improving the partnership. Finally, it outlines the provisions of the EU-SADC EPA and discusses opportunities and challenges for supporting regional integration in Southern Africa.
1) Peacekeeping operations in Africa face ongoing issues that require discussion of approaches beyond just peacekeeping, such as conflict prevention under the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA).
2) The APSA provides a comprehensive framework for conflict management in Africa, balancing continental and regional responsibilities. It relies on cooperation between the African Union (AU) and Regional Economic Communities/Regional Mechanisms (RECs/RMs) in two-thirds of conflict interventions.
3) Strategic partnerships will remain important to support African peace operations. Cooperation is needed between the AU, UN, EU, and other partners on funding, capabilities, and institutional reform while ensuring African leadership.

Policy Coherence & the 2030 Agenda
Building on the PCD experience
James Mackie, Martin Ronceray & Eunike Spierings
EU PCD Focal Points meeting – Brussels, 22 February 2017
1. The EU faces increasing calls to improve coherence between its humanitarian aid and development cooperation policies as crises become more prolonged and political.
2. While EU policy documents have embraced greater integration, separate institutions and silos remain between the humanitarian and development "communities" within the EU architecture.
3. Key questions for the EU include how to maintain principled humanitarian action while pursuing more political responses to fragility; determining the appropriate level of integration between humanitarian and development work; and ensuring financial instruments are adequate to address new challenges.
Dr. Hanne Knaepen presented on scaling up climate-smart agriculture in Africa. She discussed the challenges of knowledge, finance, and governance in scaling up CSA. Her proposed solution is an inclusive, bottom-up approach that engages stakeholders at multiple levels. She provided the example of the cassava value chain in Africa and how measuring climate impacts and applying climate-smart practices across production and post-production stages could help smallholder farmers adapt. Finally, she posed four questions for debate around ensuring smallholder access to climate funds, leveraging more African climate funds, implementing science at the local level, and innovative NDC implementation.

This document discusses three potential scenarios for future relations between the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) after the Cotonou Agreement expires in 2020:
1. Keep the Cotonou framework with revisions (continuity scenario).
2. Maintain an overarching ACP-EU agreement while deepening regional partnerships (umbrella scenario).
3. Focus relations directly through regional frameworks without an overarching ACP structure (regionalization scenario).
It analyzes each scenario based on its assumptions and perceived interests of ACP and EU actors. It also considers the realism of the assumptions/interests and provides advantages, disadvantages and risks of each. The document aims
1) The document discusses a political economy framework called PERIA that can be used to analyze regional integration in Africa. It identifies 10 key observations from applying this framework.
2) One observation is that foundational factors like colonial history, geography and economic structures shape regional organizations and integration challenges. Institutions also often prioritize form over function.
3) Actors like national leaders, regional hegemons, private sectors influence regional agendas and implementation based on their interests. Certain sectors see more political will for integration depending on the costs and benefits to leaders.
4) External factors like foreign aid and trade deals also impact the incentive environment for integration. Critical events can open opportunities for progress or blockage. The

This document discusses the political economy of regional integration in Africa. It analyzes the key drivers and constraints of regional organizations in promoting regional cooperation on the continent. It uses five lenses to examine these factors: foundational structures, institutions, actors and agencies, sectoral characteristics, and external factors. Some key observations are that member states may signal support for regional organizations even when implementation is low priority; implementation occurs when aligned with national interests; regional hegemons influence agendas; and donors have significant influence but provide fragmented support. It concludes by discussing options for regional organizations to consider ambitions realistically given path dependencies and political realities.
