The document outlines the Joint Adaptation Standards (JAS) which were developed through workshops in multiple countries to establish principles for national adaptation plans. It presents the 15 draft principles under 4 categories: how plans should be developed, mechanisms they should establish, actions they should support, and how funding should be managed. The principles emphasize community participation, traditional knowledge, priority support for vulnerable groups, capacity building, and transparency. The workshop aims to gather feedback on revising the principles to create Version 1 of the JAS.
How to build foresight into policy makingNoel Hatch
Uncertainty and complexity define our today and tomorrow. Systems and organisations need a real understanding of the potential futures in order to make the most fit for purpose choices today.
School of International Futures recently worked with GOS to showcase how different governments use foresight and futures techniques. This includes a framework that sets out the key features of effective cross-government foresight work and how organisations and systems can build a resilient approach to incorporating.
We will present the framework, give chance for questions and then support you to consider implications in your own system

Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems for National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes are essential for countries to track, assess and learn from their progress on adaptation. MEL systems can help countries to understand the effectiveness of their NAP processes, support mutual accountability and transparency to stakeholders, and contribute to learning to accelerate adaptation actions.

Day One: Joint Adaptation Standards – by Raja Jarrah
1. JAS – VERSION ZERO
Southern Voices Workshop
Kathmandu
April 2014
2. outline
• What are the Joint Adaptation Standards (JAS)
• How the JAS were developed
• What we are aiming for in this workshop
• Some questions to think about in the next two days
3. Why “Joint Adaptation Standards”
• “Joint” because
• they represent the views of civil society actors in
different countries
• they will be interpreted through dialogue between civil
society and government in each national context
• “Adaptation”: they apply to NAPs and any other
climate change adaptation plans and policies
• “Standards” as they express what civil society
considers to be necessary to ensure equitable
adaptation action
4. How will the JAS by used?
Each country can choose the best way to use them,
potentially including (among others):
• Identifying the issues that call for advocacy action
• Setting a common language for dialogue between
stakeholders
• Defining the topics where capacity building would be
useful, for both civil society actors and others
• Helping steer governments through the LEG guidelines
Least Developed Countries’ Expert Group Technical Guidelines for NAPs
• Enabling – transparency, participation, flexibility etc.
• Government-driven – modest expectations of civil society
5. JAS version 0
• Compiled from inputs in four categories
• How the national adaptation plan should be
developed (process)
• What mechanisms should the national plan set
up (framework)
• What actions should the national plan support
(content)
• How should funding be managed (finance)
• Synthesised into 15 draft principles

How the JAS has been developed so far
8. How the national adaptation plan
should be developed
1. A national adaptation plan should incorporate
the traditional knowledge and experience of local
communities as it is developed
2. Communities affected by climate change must
be able to participate in defining options and
priorities of national adaptation plans
3. A national adaptation plan must be publicised in
ways that local people can understand and engage
with
9. Mechanisms the national plan
should set up
4. A national adaptation plan should link together
the work of national and local government, and of
people working in different sectors
5. A national adaptation plan should be periodically
monitored by a body on which civil society is
represented
6. A national adaptation plan should promote both
new adaptation initiatives and improve how existing
activities take climate change into account
7. Local adaptation plans should the building block
of a national programme of adaptation to climate
change
10. Actions the national plan should
support
8. A national adaptation plan should allocate
significant resources towards local plans developed
through community-based approaches
9. A national adaptation plan should identify and
prioritise people who are socially and economically
most vulnerable to climate change
10. A national adaptation plan should invest as much
in building skills and capacities of people affected by
climate change as in building infrastructure
11. A national adaptation plan should build the
resilience of women and men to climate change
equally
11. How funding should be managed
12. A national adaptation plan should enable
long-term programmes of support to vulnerable
communities
13. Adaptation funding should be made available
through a transparent process of allocation
14. Funding for adaptation should be explicitly
provided for within the national budget
15. There must be full public accountability for
how adaptation funds have been spent
12. Some questions for this workshop
1. Is there any other issue that is important for your
context but missing from the 15 principles?
2. Is 15 principles too many? If so, how do we condense
them into a workable tool?
3. Is “Joint Adaptation Standards” a useful name for this
instrument? If not, what would be better?
4. Any other suggestions for improving the standards
before they are introduced to a wider audience for
trying out in practice?
13. For next group session
1. Is there any other issue that is important for your
context but missing from the 15 principles?
2. Is 15 principles too many? If so, how do we condense
them into a workable tool?
(if you add something, what would you take out?)
