5. Tracking domestic climate finance flows in
developing countries
■ Climate finance is a crucial element for the implementation of climate actions
■ Imperative to understand
– How much money countries access from global climate funds?
– How much domestic finance is already available through national public
expenditures?
■ Transparency Initiative of the Paris Agreement
6. Webinar Objectives
1. Provide an overview of how climate change adaptation can be
integrated into national planning and budgeting, with particular
reference to the agriculture sectors (crops and livestock, forestry,
fisheries and aquacultures);
2. Introduce tools and approaches available for climate change
budgeting and tracking; and
3. Share a country experience in climate change planning and
budgeting.

Editor's Notes
75% of the world’s poor & food insecure people rely directly on agriculture & natural resources for their living.
The Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) programme is a multiyear initiative funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI). It supports partners under a country-driven process to identify and integrate climate adaptation measures for agricultural sectors into relevant national planning and budgeting processes.
The programme initially targets eight countries: Kenya, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Uganda, Uruguay, Vietnam and Zambia. However, it plans to expand to other countries in the Pacific, Asia, Africa as well as Latin America and the Caribbean.
The new programme builds on existing FAO and UNDP country activities, by assisting them to develop tailored responses to their needs. For instance:
In Nepal, there is a need to increase conservation of drought-resistant crop varieties by adopting water-conserving farming practices and promoting crop diversification. The consequences of last year's earthquakes highlight the importance of reducing risks for farmers due to climate and disasters.
In Uganda, UNDP is helping set up a much-needed early-warning system for climate risks. The program will link to FAO projects that include educating farmers in the use of drought-tolerant seeds, plants and trees, as well as expand eucalyptus plantations for charcoal.
FAO and UNDP will also expand their efforts in the Philippines to map vulnerability to food insecurity due to climate change, and explore ways to scale up risk-transfer mechanisms for farming communities.
In Uruguay, efforts to restore degraded pasture lands and at-risk coastal ecosystems will be central to the new programme.
