This document discusses methodologies for developing energy policies in India that account for multiple objectives. It outlines a collaboration between research organizations to inform India's climate plans and energy planning. The collaboration will review scenario studies and use multiple criteria decision analysis to evaluate policies with attention to mitigation, adaptation, and other objectives. Two case studies will use this approach to analyze policies for buildings and cooking in India, with the goal of discussing how to apply multiple objectives methodologies to policymaking.

This document provides an overview of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process, which aims to integrate climate change adaptation into development planning at the national, sectoral, and local levels. Over 90 countries have initiated NAP processes to assess climate risks, identify adaptation priorities, and enhance coordination on adaptation actions. The NAP process is intended to be strategic, coordinated, iterative, country-driven, and participatory to effectively reduce vulnerability to climate impacts over the medium and long term.

The document summarizes the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC). It discusses that the SROCC was proposed in 2015 to assess observed and projected changes to oceans and cryosphere and their impacts. An outline was developed at a scoping meeting in 2016 and agreed in 2017. The SROCC will provide an assessment of climate impacts on oceans and cryosphere and implications for human and ecological systems, as well as adaptation and resilience options. It will have 6 chapters covering topics like sea level rise, polar regions, and oceans and risk management. The timeline for the SROCC includes opportunities for expert and government review.

ExternalEvents

Dr. Saleemul Huq, ICCCAD Bangladesh NAPA submitted in 2005 (updated 2009). Built on a large participatory exercise. Prioritised adaptation options were submitted to the LDC Fund. · 2009: Finance Minister commissioned the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP). Government funding invested, up to 100 million dollars every year over the past ten years has been allocated to implementation of BCCSAP, mainly for adaptation, under the Bangladesh CC Trust Fund · BCCSAP can be seen as a NAP as it is effectively a long-term mainstreaming exercise. · Bangladesh is integrating climate change into its 5-year National Development Plans. · A longer-term plan, Vision 2041, is under development by Planning Commission. Bangladesh wishes to graduate out of LDC bracket. Opportunity for integrating NAP. · International Resilience Fund governed by international donors also supports actions identified under BCCSAP · BSAP has funded over 100 projects · Future aims include: the full integration of adaptation into development planning and tracking climate finance

The document also mentions integrating social science perspectives and rethinking demand for energy, emissions, and land use change.

Sato Chiro: JICA’s Support for Climate Change Adaptation in Indonesia

NAPExpo 2014

JICA has supported Indonesia's efforts to address climate change through 3 main projects: 1) Developing Indonesia's National Action Plan for Climate Change Adaptation (RAN-API) through establishing committees, drafting the plan, and supporting implementation. 2) Conducting pilot projects to mainstream adaptation into development planning at national and regional levels and integrate it into spatial planning. 3) Supporting pilot adaptation activities in agriculture, irrigation, insurance and communities through assessments, recommendations and capacity building. Lessons learned include undertaking adaptation using existing government structures, involving stakeholders at all levels, and maintaining flexibility.

The IPCC was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme to provide comprehensive assessments of the scientific basis of climate change. It produces major assessment reports approximately every 6-7 years, as well as special reports on topics like the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C. The IPCC involves thousands of experts from around the world and its reports have informed international climate change negotiations and agreements.

This document discusses Kenya's potential participation in Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), a climate mitigation scheme. It notes that deforestation contributes significantly to global emissions and REDD aims to compensate countries for reducing deforestation. The document outlines Kenya's high deforestation rates and the investments needed to participate in REDD to monitor carbon and slow deforestation. It poses research questions on incentives, carbon prices, and economic impacts. The objectives are to analyze the economic impacts and options for Kenya to participate in REDD. The expected outputs are insights on government interventions needed to make Kenya competitive and inform debates on REDD's economic implications.

Prakash Mathema, LDC Group Chair: Keynote Speech, NAP Expo 2014

NAPExpo 2014

The document summarizes the evolution of adaptation in the UN climate change regime from the pre-2000 period to 2011-2015. It outlines four phases: conceptualization, addressing urgent needs, facilitating NAPA implementation, and addressing medium- and long-term adaptation needs. While progress has been made in areas like establishing the NAP process and Adaptation Committee, gaps remain around guidelines for NAP structure, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Moving forward, the document calls for implementing NAPAs, linking adaptation support to mitigation ambition, prioritizing LDCs' access to funding, and fostering coherence among adaptation institutions.

Maximising synergies between the Sustainable Development Goals

ipcc-media

The document discusses maximizing synergies between sustainable development goals according to the Sustainable Development Scenario presented by the IEA. It summarizes that the Sustainable Development Scenario reduces CO2 emissions while also achieving universal energy access, improving air quality, and assessing implications for climate change and water. The CO2 emissions trajectory in this scenario would limit global temperature rise to 1.5-1.6°C by 2100. While existing coal power plants represent half of current CO2 emissions, policies are needed to support technologies like CCUS to reduce emissions from these plants going forward. Achieving energy access can offset higher emissions from fossil fuel use through reduced traditional biomass consumption. Low-carbon measures in this scenario account for over half

This document discusses building climate-resilient health systems to adapt to climate change. It recommends modifying current health programs and policies based on historical climate hazards. More comprehensive, systems-oriented approaches are needed. Scenarios can test health systems' responses to extreme climate events beyond historical norms. Funding supports health adaptation projects in the Pacific. High priority measures include incorporating health safety into multi-sector adaptation and improving infrastructure, early warning systems, surveillance, and research.

Narrowing the gap (UNEP Gap Report 2014)

NewClimate Institute

The document discusses ways to narrow the emissions gap identified in the 2014 UNEP gap report. It finds that mitigation potential exceeds the gap, with opportunities in energy supply, industry, buildings, transport, waste, agriculture and forestry totaling over 30 GtCO2e by 2030. Co-benefits like improved access to energy, jobs, energy security and reduced pollution can drive emissions reductions. However, barriers still exist like fossil fuel subsidies and investments focused on short-term returns. National policies in over 140 countries support renewables and efficiency. International initiatives could reduce emissions in renewables, buildings, appliances and transport by over 3 GtCO2e annually by 2020. With sound policies and cooperation, the emissions
