The document discusses Nepal's efforts to implement local adaptation plans of action (LAPAs) to build climate resilience. It summarizes Nepal's climate vulnerability and policy framework. It then describes the LAPA process and implementation through the Nepal Climate Change Support Programme. Key lessons identified include the need for strengthening local governance and ensuring prompt service delivery for vulnerable communities. Moving forward, the document recommends creating a National Adaptation Plan and climate fund to harmonize adaptation efforts in Nepal.
This presentation is targeted to the community development practitioners who are working in various field of human welfare as livelihood improvement, human health, water and sanitation, renewable energy etc. this presentation intends to expand their understanding on climate change. Climate change issues are multisectoral and require a multi-stakeholder consultation and action in order to apply adaption and mitigation schemes. It needs to be thought broadly that the problem they are addressing might be the impacts of climate change. Community development workers are the agents of change. They must start advocating on 2°C warmer world as their dissemination of information are quite effective than other means and media.

Agriculture in developing countries must undergo a significant transformation in order to meet the related challenges of achieving food security and responding to climate change. Projections based on population growth and food consumption patterns indicate that agricultural production will need to increase by at least 70 percent to meet demands by 2050. Most estimates also indicate that climate change is likely to reduce agricultural productivity, production stability and incomes in some areas that already have high levels of food insecurity. Developing climate-smart agriculture is thus crucial to achieving future food security and climate change goals. This seminar describe an approach to deal with the above issue viz. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and also examines some of the key technical, institutional, policy and financial responses required to achieve this transformation. Building on cases from the field, the seminar try to outlines a range of practices, approaches and tools aimed at increase the resilience and productivity of agricultural product systems, while also reducing and removing emissions. A part of the seminar elaborates institutional and policy options available to promote the transition to climate-smart agriculture at the smallholder level. Finally, the paper considers current gaps and makes innovative suggestion regarding the combined use of different sources, financing mechanism and delivery systems.

Climate change and Agriculture: Impact Aadaptation and MitigationPragyaNaithani
Climate change refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its Variability, persisting for an extended period (typically decades or longer). For the past some decades, the gaseous composition of earth’s atmosphere is undergoing a significant change, largely through increased emissions from energy, industry and agriculture sectors; widespread deforestation as well as fast changes in land use and land management practices. These anthropogenic activities are resulting in an increased emission of radiatively active gases, viz. carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), popularly known as the ‘greenhouse gases’ (GHGs)
These GHGs trap the outgoing infrared radiations from the earth’s surface and thus raise the temperature of the atmosphere. The global mean annual temperature at the end of the 20th century, as a result of GHG accumulation in the atmosphere, has increased by 0.4–0.7 ºC above that recorded at the end of the 19th century. The past 50 years have shown an increasing trend in temperature @ 0.13 °C/decade, while the rise in temperature during the past one and half decades has been much higher. The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change has projected the temperature increase to be between 1.1 °C and 6.4 °C by the end of the 21st Century (IPCC, 2007). The global warming is expected to lead to other regional and global changes in the climate-related parameters such as rainfall, soil moisture, and sea level. Snow cover is also reported to be gradually decreasing.
Therefore, concerted efforts are required for mitigation and adaptation to reduce the vulnerability of agriculture to the adverse impacts of climate change and making it more resilient.
The adaptive capacity of poor farmers is limited because of subsistence agriculture and low level of formal education. Therefore, simple, economically viable and culturally acceptable adaptation strategies have to be developed and implemented. Furthermore, the transfer of knowledge as well as access to social, economic, institutional, and technical resources need to be provided and integrated within the existing resources of farmers.
The presentation presented the the Climate Change Conference in Korea, organized by Department of climate change, Kyungpook National University, Daegu. It describes the policy and practice of climate in Nepal in particular reference to the Agriculture.

Integrating Climate Change Risks into Planning and Budgeting
Rohini Kohli and Glenn Hodes, UNDP
Climate change adaptation should be integrated into the full planning and budgeting cycles, at national and subnational levels
· Integration maximizes use of existing systems
· Institutional arrangements and capacity development are important aspects of risk informed planning, budgeting and monitoring systems and processes
· A range of tools and approaches are available for integrating adaptation
· Important to pick the right tools that can be used in a sustainable way
· Embedding adaptation into budget systems enables moving towards multi-year budget plans that can generate more sustained and predictable resources to implement medium- to long-term adaptation strategies
· The National Adaptation Plan process is on the opportunities for countries to strengthen risk management
A 2-day workshop hosted by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security www.ccafs.cgiar.org from 13-14 November, Warsaw, Poland brought together 37 representatives from 10 different countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America to share their lessons and experiences in developing climate adaptation plans for the agriculture sector.

Catalyzing Synergies between Adaptation, Mitigation and SDG Plans UNDP Climate
Building resiliency to the effects of climate change and transforming economies toward low-carbon development requires integrated, cross-cutting solutions. In this way, a new paradigm is emerging toward addressing multiple risks and delivering co-benefits across climate and non-climate drivers. This will entail connecting climate action to long-term sustainable development planning, financing, and budgeting.
Effectively integrating sustainable development with climate change adaption and mitigation means evolving from working in silos to working in synergy. And current national efforts to align three key processes — the SDG Agenda, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and National Adaptation Plans (NAP) formulation and implementation—can be a key lynchpin to achieving that.
This was the main message emerging from a breakout discussion on 3 May in Berlin, Germany, at the Global NDC Forum. The event was organized by the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) and National Adaptation Plan Global Support (NAP-GSP) programmes. Co-organized by UNDP, the German Environment Ministry-hosted event brought together over 250 climate experts and policymakers from around the world to forge partnerships that can support scaling-up climate action and a prompt start to implementing the Paris Agreement on Climate Change as articulated in countries’ NDCs.
National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) - Opportunities for cross-sector synergies i...CIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation focuses on several elements of NAPs like climate adaptation in agriculture, inter-sectoral analysis under climate change scenarios and much more.
This seminar explores challenges, opportunities, and country examples that governments can consider using to ensure they deliver on the 2030 Agenda and the Paris goals.
‘’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.
National adaptation planning (NAP) processes and EbAExternalEvents
The NAP-Ag webinar on Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and National Adaptation Planning: Opportunities for the Agricultural Sectors will provide an overview of how EbA can be effectively integrated into agriculture sectors’ adaptation strategies and broader national adaptation planning processes. The webinar will focus on mainstreaming EbA in the formulation and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). Both global presentations and a presentation from Thailand and Nepal, a NAP-Ag partner country will outline opportunities, experiences and approaches in mainstreaming EbA into adaptation policy planning processes and strategies at different scales.

100 LAPAs developed in 14 districts of Mid and Far West
550 thousand women and girls, and 450 thousand men and
boys with reduced vulnerability due to local adaption and
disaster risk reduction actions by 2015
500 thousand vulnerable people, 55% women, receiving access
to climate resilient adaptation technology practices
200 thousand people with access to adaptation financing, CBO
and NGO delivered climate resilient development interventions
190,000 women &170,000 men with access to clean energy
technologies
500,000 people living in VDCs with effective adaptation actions
and improved gateways to resilience
17. Key milestones of NCCSP (2012-2014)
Seventy LAPAs prepared, additional LAPAs in 30 VDCs is
being prepared from July 2014
Institutional framework and coordination mechanism
established
Capacity Development Plan prepared
Monitoring and Evaluation framework prepared
Low Carbon Economic Development Strategy started and
ongoing
Political agreement on Low Carbon Development Strategy
18. Key milestones of NCCSP (2012-2014)
Implementation of LAPAs from July 2013
250,000 people direct/indirect
beneficiaries from different activities
15000+ individuals have benefited from
capacity building activities
LAPA actions are integrated into
government’s annual planning system (224
types and 649 actions)
LAPA activities implementation ongoing
through
Line agencies
Service providers
Community user committees
19. Learning
Ownership of the government at National to Local level is
critical for mainstreaming and implementation of LAPA
Building on existing systems and mechanism enables the
operationalization of LAPA smooth and sustainable
Engagement of multi-sector and multi-stakeholders is essential
throughout LAPA process to ensure range of thematic coverage
Efforts has to be put into strengthening the system (governance,
structures and mechanisms, capacity of central and local
government) to directly benefit the climate vulnerable
communities and to ensure prompt service delivery of LAPA
priority actions
20. Learning continued….
Flexible management approach is necessary to be responsive
to the local context to deal with any hurdles in LAPA delivery
while implementation
Good examples of mainstreaming and leveraging finances at
local level to enable the local communities to successfully
implement big project where funding gap exist
LAPAs are therefore becoming a plan that gives other agencies
a basis to support vulnerable communities to adapt to change.
21. Gaps identified
Common national goal/targets to ensure unified
results among multiple adaptation interventions is
necessary;
A number of interventions/projects are being
implemented which has increased operational cost
of the system;
Some projects are being run off-budget and off-
treasury;
Projects tend to invest the most in policy and
central-level activities;
22. Gaps identified…
Quality data and information is lagging for fact
based adaptation planning;
Scientifically proven theoretical frame and indicator
for measuring community and system resilience is
highly desirable;
Many adaptation interventions have used ‘no regret
options’ as the basis for deciding on adaptive
interventions;
Identification and assessment of the adaptive
capacity of the interventions (activities on ground) is
necessary;
23. Gaps identified…
Creation of functioning learning network among
government and non government stakeholders,
including private sector, is necessary;
Investment in local technological innovation is
necessary to ensure sustainability of system
resilience
24. Way forward for NAP
Key Result Areas:
Creation of National Adaptation Plan document
Creation of Climate Change Fund
Implementation of Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) framework in the
climate change planning and implementation process
Mobilization of climate finance through climate change budget code
Harmonize adaptation interventions with national system and policies
