This document discusses adaptation to climate change in OECD and developing countries. It finds that while adaptation planning has progressed in OECD countries since 2006, data and financing challenges remain. Mainstreaming adaptation financing domestically is increasing but data on needs, spending and impacts is still limited. Prioritizing adaptation strategies in developing countries focuses on stakeholder engagement and expert judgment due to limited cost-benefit analysis. The document calls for a pragmatic approach to measuring adaptation success and improving data on climate risks.
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.
1) A flood insurance model was developed for Georgia based on detailed flood hazard and risk modelling within an integrated flood risk management framework.
2) The model included flood mapping, calculating risk scores and potential damage/losses, and developing an index-based insurance scheme with risk-based premiums and payout principles.
3) While the insurance scheme was not piloted during the initial project due to various challenges, efforts are ongoing to address flooding and other natural hazards through policy interventions like risk financing and early warning systems.

The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of adopting a resilience-based approach to responding to the Syrian refugee crisis. It provides context on the crisis's impact in Jordan and outlines key elements of the Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP). The 3RP is a coordinated response among UN agencies and partners that aims to strengthen social cohesion and build resilience among refugees and host communities. While a resilience approach promotes national leadership and sustainable solutions, challenges include limited funding, capacity, and tensions between national and local stakeholders. Overcoming obstacles requires early engagement of development actors, advocacy, and strengthening national systems.
This document discusses the challenges of rising sea levels, extreme storms, and aging infrastructure threatening US national security, homeland security, and economic security. It proposes 3 goals: 1) changing the national policy from respond and repair to plan and invest, 2) establishing single agency federal leadership, and 3) creating new dedicated federal funding. The current policy of responding after disasters is wasteful and unsustainable. Investing in resilient infrastructure upfront, as the Dutch have done, can protect coastal communities and economies. Achieving these goals requires building political will among coastal communities, businesses, policymakers, and the general public.

1) Climate-related shocks like droughts, floods, and food price spikes currently push people into poverty and prevent them from escaping it. These shocks will be exacerbated by climate change, potentially pushing over 100 million more people into poverty by 2030.
2) Rapid, inclusive development with policies like universal healthcare, strengthened social protections, climate-smart agriculture, and financial inclusion can prevent most additional poverty due to climate change by 2030. Without such development, over 100 million more people could fall into poverty.
3) Immediate emissions reductions are needed to avoid dangerous long-term climate change that could threaten global poverty reduction goals, even with adaptation. However, mitigation policies should be designed to benefit

This document summarizes the challenges of integrating ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) approaches into national policy in Caribbean nations. It finds that EbA is absent from national policies in six of the seven Caribbean countries studied, despite ecosystem management policies being present in all countries. Key barriers to integrating EbA identified include climate change being a lower priority than economic development, climate change being framed primarily as an environmental rather than socioeconomic issue, a lack of understanding of the economic benefits of EbA, and insufficient climate funding for adaptation projects in Caribbean nations. However, opportunities also exist, such as linking EbA to existing ecosystem management practices and the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre acting as an accredited entity for the Green Climate Fund
This document summarizes the outcomes of a program that used participatory scenario development (PSD) workshops to build capacity on climate change issues in Tajikistan. The workshops engaged 124 stakeholders across 5 cities to identify climate impacts, adaptation needs, and priorities. Participants saw communities as having low adaptive capacity due to challenges like limited basic services, agriculture difficulties, and natural hazards exacerbated by climate change. They suggested a range of adaptation actions focused on infrastructure, ecosystems, capacity building, and protecting vulnerable groups. Key recommendations included developing a national climate strategy, coordinating agencies, investing in local governments, and ensuring synergies between climate adaptation and development goals. Infrastructure improvements, ecosystem-based measures, and continued capacity building were seen as important for
Climate change will significantly impact South Asia through increased poverty, effects on agriculture and food security, reduced water availability, and increased health issues. The proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to address these impacts by focusing on poverty eradication, food security, water and sanitation, energy access, and building climate resilience. However, some argue the goals could more explicitly address natural limits to growth, adaptation, inequality, and governance issues. While integrating climate change across multiple goals is positive, ensuring meaningful commitments and financing remains a challenge.

Water resources management should be an early focus for adaptation to climate change as water is both impacted by climate change and can help address some of its effects. An integrated water resources management approach is needed that considers economic, social and environmental factors. Collaboration across sectors and actors is also important to manage the impacts of climate change on water demand, the economy, and risks of water scarcity and disasters. Support for improved climate information systems, as well as linking climate experts with water management specialists, can help develop practical adaptation solutions.
This document proposes a paper on the relationships between ecosystem services, water security, and integrated water resources management (IWRM). It notes that over 2 billion people currently live in areas with absolute water scarcity, and this is projected to rise to 4.6 billion by 2080. The paper will address the state of ecosystem services and their importance for human well-being and development. It will also discuss the degradation of ecosystem services from climate change and human activities, and how this impacts water security. Finally, it will explore the nexus between ecosystem services, water security, and IWRM, and the challenges and opportunities around management.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE T...vijay kumar sarabu
There is direct relationship between environment and economic development. Economic development without environmental considerations can cause serious environmental damage in turn impairing the quality of life of present and future generations. In the process of economic development, the environmental problems have been ignored or less concentrated. Any country’s environmental problems are related to the level of its economic development, the availability of natural resources and the lifestyle of its population. In India, rapid growth of population, poverty, urbanization, industrialization and several related factors are responsible for the rapid degradation of the environment. Environmental problems have become serious in many parts of the country, and hence cannot be ignored. The main environmental problems in India relate to air and water pollution particularly in metropolitan cities and industrial zones, degradation of common property resources (Tanks, Ponds Lakes, Rivers, Forests etc.) which affect the poor adversely as they depends on them for their livelihood, threat to biodiversity and inadequate system of solid waste disposal and sanitation with consequent adverse impact on health, infant mortality and birth rate.
UNDP has supported over 140 countries to access over $2.8 billion in climate finance since 2008. Key results of UNDP's climate change portfolio include:
- 45 countries developing early warning systems, benefiting over 26 million people
- 102 countries scaling up climate-resilient livelihoods and risk management, benefiting over 12.9 million hectares of forests protected
- 30 countries adopting renewable energy, avoiding 522.7 million tons of CO2 emissions
- 43 countries supported in preparing climate pledges to the Paris Agreement

The water-food-energy nexus recognizes the interdependence between water, food, and energy security. Meeting the growing global demands for food, energy, and water will require managing these sectors in an integrated way rather than in isolation. Climate change introduces additional uncertainties by increasing tensions between sectors for access to limited water resources. Achieving the SDGs related to water, food, and energy will require nexus solutions that balance the competing needs of these sectors in a sustainable manner.
“The impact of Blue Economy on Sustainable Development of Bangladesh.” part 2...Md. Mamun Hasan Biddut
Natural resource manipulation has been the foremost feature for economic development and trade for most of world history. At present, it is generally accepted that economic advancement around the world is leading to the unalterable exhaustion of natural resources, environmental degradation and resulting threat to future generations, which are vital reasons and challenges for reconsidering economic patterns. At present Environmental resources are denoted as economic assets and called “natural capital”.

Uruguay's approach coordinates strategies between institutions and develops sectoral NAPs and monitoring of agriculture's mitigation commitments.
Uganda - Addressing agricultural resilience in long term climate planning ins...UNDP Climate
The landscape of climate planning instruments available to countries under the UNFCCC process includes National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long Term Strategies (LTS). These instruments have emerged at different milestones such as the Cancun Adaptation Framework and the Paris Agreement and have specific characteristics and objectives which can contribute to and reinforce each other if leveraged effectively. Despite their very distinctive nature, these national instruments can be harnessed to scale up climate change adaptation by fostering linkages depending upon country context.
Addressing climate resilience in sectors and across sectors is a vital part of climate planning. Adaptation in agriculture is a crucial component of building resilient economies and societies and is national priority for a significant number of countries. It is well established that agricultural sectors are amongst the most climate sensitive. Over 90 percent of developing countries’ NDCs refer to agriculture as a major priority.
The juxtaposition of the range of climate planning instruments on one hand, and the sensitivity of agriculture on the other requires that all instruments be linked, sequenced and aligned appropriately by countries to best fit their national circumstances.
The webinar will draw upon country-level experiences from NAP-Ag partner countries to highlight entry points for alignment and strategies to trigger this conversation.

Climate Change Adaptation in the Arab StatesUNDP Climate
The purpose of this publication is to detail lessons learned from UNDP’s Climate Change Adaptation work and achievements in the Arab region on achieving sustainable and lasting results. Some lessons include building local capacity at all levels to ensure a project’s long-term viability, decentralizing infrastructure management, implicating community-based organizations, and promoting resilience of vulnerable populations through livelihood diversification. Providing populations with access to adapted financial services such as Weather Index Insurances (WII) linked with microfinance services was found to support rural populations to become more resilient to climate induced damages. The immediate objective of this publication is not only to share experiences with a wider audience, but also to inform future CCA programming. The publication furthermore acts as a call to action to facilitate a long-term coordinated approach to increasing the resilience of countries most vulnerable to climate change in the region.

UNDP-FAO Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans HighlightsUNDP Climate
The joint United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans – Programme (NAP– Ag) is a multi–year initiative (2015–2018) funded by the International Climate Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). The NAP–Ag Programme is supporting countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to identify and integrate climate change adaptation measures into relevant national planning and budgeting processes. This integration will help enhance institutional capacities and processes for operationalization of climate response strategies in the agriculture sectors as well as the facilitation of stronger partnerships between ministries of agriculture, environment, planning and finance, and other national partners. NAP–Ag provides support to countries for accessing climate finance through international mechanisms, such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), bilateral and multilateral funding mechanisms, as well as national financing. The Programme contributes to NAPs and the achievement of targets laid out in partner countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in particular SDG–2 “Zero Hunger” and SDG –13 “Climate Action” , by strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate–related hazards and natural disasters.
Five key achievements at a glance
1. Advanced the development of climate change adaptation planning strategies and frameworks in the agriculture sectors in Kenya, Philippines, Thailand and Uganda
2. Enhanced capacities of agriculture sector's decision-makers to appraise adaptation options, using cost-benefit analysis and impact evaluation, as a means to advance the NAP processes in Uganda, Uruguay and Zambia
3. Initiated the leveraging of climate finance for the implementation of climate change adaptation strategies and frameworks in the agriculture sectors in Nepal, Thailand and Viet Nam
4. Boosted capacity for gender mainstreaming through: technical training; incorporation of sex-disaggregated data and gender analysis into cost-benefit analyses and impact evaluations; and development of a tool to increase women’s incomes in the agriculture sector's value chains
5. Catalysed global attention to the integration of agriculture into NAPs through engagement of NAP-Ag country representatives in: Least Developed Country Expert Group (LEG) training workshops and meetings; side events at COP 21 and COP 22; Adaptation Committee meetings; and NAP Expos
- Uruguay has developed an advanced suite of climate change policies and plans including its National Climate Change Policy approved in 2017.
- The agricultural sector contributes significantly to Uruguay's economy but is vulnerable to climate change impacts. Uruguay is developing a National Adaptation Plan specifically for the agricultural sector (Agriculture NAP) to clarify adaptation needs and strategies.
- The UNDP-FAO NAP-Ag programme is supporting the formulation of the Agriculture NAP through assessments, stakeholder mapping, and analysis to identify adaptation options and policies for the agricultural sector.

Thailand UNDP-GIZ workshop on CBA - Appraisal outcomesUNDP Climate
The document discusses mainstreaming climate change objectives into sectoral programs and projects in Thailand. It provides an overview of Thailand's climate policy direction and challenges in integrating climate change fully. It then outlines a key stage approach for designing and retooling programs and projects using climate change appraisal methods like cost-benefit analysis to develop budget and financial proposals. The document also presents a case study of applying these methods to the design of a flood management infrastructure program in the Chao Phraya River Basin. It analyzes costs and benefits with and without considering climate change impacts and risks. The analysis finds greater economic benefits when factoring in climate change and helps justify related investments.

23-25 November 2016, Thailand - A centerpiece of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Programme (NAP-Ag) in Thailand is its support to develop a new five-year Strategy on Climate Change in Agriculture (2017-2021). This is spearheaded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) and its Office of Agriculture Economics (OAE). The strategy was unveiled after a series of meetings by a Technical Working Group at a three-day workshop held on 23-25 November 2016 in Bangkok, organized by UNDP. Over 60 participants from each MOAC line department and 10 participants from academia and civil society were briefed by the Office of the Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP) and GIZ on the status of the National Adaption Plan (NAP) and learned how NAP-Ag programme efforts could support a broader NAP process and align with the Sector Plan. The new strategy focuses on improving evidence and data for informing policy choices, building the capacity of farmers and agri-businesses to adapt, promoting low-carbon development and productivity growth in the sector, and building institutional and managerial capacities to cope with climate change impacts.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

2. “A Perfect Moral Storm: Climate Change” Stephen
M Gardnier
“ The peculiar features of the climate change problems pose
substantial obstacle to our ability to make the hard choices
necessary to address it. Climate change involves the
convergence of a set of global, intergenerational and
theoretical problems. This convergence justifies calling it a
‘perfect moral storm’. One consequence of this storm is that,
even if the other difficult ethical questions surrounding
climate change could be answered, we might still find it
difficult to act. For the storm makes us extremely vulnerable
to moral corruption”
