The document discusses disaster resilience in the context of the UNFCCC and Sendai Framework. It provides context on how adaptation has grown as an issue in the last 15 years. It summarizes key points of the 2010 Cancun Adaptation Framework, including its focus on vulnerability and promotion of resilience building. It also describes National Adaptation Plans agreed in 2010 to reduce vulnerability and integrate climate adaptation. The Sendai Framework for 2015-2030 aims to substantially reduce disaster impacts through 7 targets. Key issues discussed are different governance of DRR and adaptation, limited coordination, and need to address slow onset issues. Approaches to address these include joint vulnerability assessment, regular CSO interactions, capacity building, and sharing strategies between stakeholders.
Partners for Resilience (PfR) is an alliance of organizations building resilience in vulnerable communities across 10 countries using an integrated risk management approach. Key achievements include strengthening disaster policies and plans, improving gender-sensitive development plans, and mainstreaming global commitments into national policies.
Lessons from PfR include: 1) Challenges integrating climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction due to lack of coordination across government agencies; 2) Decentralized governance provides more opportunity for integration at local levels; and 3) An overarching resilience framework could bridge indicators across processes and provide a comprehensive approach.

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.
John Furlow, USAID support for adaptation planningNAPExpo 2014
This document summarizes a presentation given by John Furlow from USAID's Climate Change Office at the NAP Expo in Bonn, Germany in August 2014. The presentation outlined USAID's support for national adaptation planning processes and frameworks. It discussed how the NAP process can be country-driven and address medium and long-term needs by integrating adaptation into sector planning and promoting cross-sector collaboration. USAID's approach focuses on mainstreaming adaptation, using climate information for evidence-based decision making, managing uncertainty, and leveraging other development investments. Examples from Jamaica's NAP process demonstrated creating a policy framework and establishing climate change focal points across ministries.

The document discusses addressing mitigation at the federal level. It outlines that compact, energy-efficient development that puts homes and businesses close together can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It then lists several federal resources and tools that can help with mitigation efforts, such as GreenDOT and FEMA's flood insurance program. Finally, it discusses ways the EPA is protecting vulnerable communities from climate change, such as launching resilience programs and developing regional climate information.
This document contains guided questions to assess capacity for climate change adaptation at the national and local levels. At the national level, it addresses whether the government has the capacity to monitor climate risks, disseminate information, integrate climate data into policies, implement policies at regional/local levels, and allocate resources for adaptation. It also asks about understanding links between climate change and poverty/vulnerability. For local governments, it addresses disaster response capacity, ability to monitor/analyze climate risks, disseminate information, implement adaptation policies, allocate adaptation budgets, capacity needs, and engaging vulnerable social groups in planning processes.

This document outlines 10 lessons for building political support for climate change adaptation: 1) Leverage co-benefits like sustainable development, 2) Identify champions to promote adaptation, 3) Incorporate adaptation into long-term policy, 4) Clearly address key questions about adaptation processes, 5) Build momentum from events and disasters, 6) Quantify the impacts and costs of adaptation, 7) Secure dedicated financial resources, 8) Partner with media and social movements, 9) Promote south-south cooperation, and 10) Link political support to strong technical understanding of adaptation issues.
Tourism, Climate Change and Adaptation: New South Wales Local Government Resp...deanies_slides
This document summarizes the findings of a survey of 56 local governments in New South Wales, Australia about their responses to planning for the physical impacts of climate change (PICC) and impacts on tourism. The major findings include that local governments perceive high vulnerability to PICC but lack confidence in existing planning measures. Respondents felt councils should do more over the next five years, including risk assessments and collaboration. The implications are that failure to plan for PICC could increase vulnerability and liability, and that improved planning tools are needed to address PICC and tourism impacts through adaptive management.
The document discusses prioritizing adaptation activities and options. It notes that prioritization is important given constraints like resources, capacities, and authority. Some options can be maladaptive if they foreclose other options. The document then provides examples of prioritization methods like ranking vulnerabilities, scoring consequences, and multi-criteria analysis. It emphasizes selecting an approach that suits available data and involving stakeholders in deciding criteria and rankings. Overall, the summary highlights that prioritization of climate adaptation requires considering constraints, potential unintended impacts, appropriate methods, and stakeholder participation.
The document discusses issues related to agriculture, food security, and water management between India and Bangladesh and proposes an action plan. Key issues include the vulnerability of small farmers, access to and control over water resources, agro-ecological practices, and support for farmers. The action plan suggests identifying climate champions in parliament to address priority issues, sensitizing politicians to climate impacts on livelihoods, and establishing intergovernmental bodies to jointly address challenges that are already affecting people.

India faces significant challenges with poverty, access to energy, and a growing energy demand. Over 1/3 of Indians live below $1.25 per day and over 30% of households lack electricity access. India's energy demand is projected to grow substantially by 2047 across sectors like industry, transport, and agriculture under different scenarios. Current energy supply relies heavily on domestic coal and will need to transition to less emissions-intensive sources like natural gas, renewables, and nuclear to meet demand sustainably. National policies have aimed to boost renewables through incentives and tariffs but barriers like financing, grid limitations, and governance capacity remain. Strengthening the grid and rationalizing subsidies and tariffs are needed to support India's low
