Key outcomes from the pre-workshop on Economic valuationIwl Pcu
The document summarizes key outcomes from a pre-workshop on economic valuation held prior to the 7th Biennial GEF International Waters Conference in Barbados. Over 100 participants attended presentations and breakout groups to discuss economic valuation methodologies and examples. Participants explored how valuation can help link science-based management with policy decisions. Valuation is one tool among many socioeconomic factors that should be integrated into the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis and Strategic Action Program process used by GEF International Waters projects. The pre-workshop highlighted the importance of selecting valuation methods appropriate for the policy question, stakeholder engagement, and effective communication with decision-makers.
1) Joint monitoring involves the managing authority of an ENPI CBC program, the ENPI CBC headquarters, and potentially local government authorities conducting monitoring visits and producing joint reports together.
2) Joint monitoring can generate better information about whether projects are achieving expected results through collaborative analysis. It also promotes ownership of results among managing partners.
3) Effective joint monitoring requires advance planning and agreement between stakeholders on procedures, field visits, and report production. It emphasizes learning through practical experience.
Evaluation of the German National Climate Initiative (NCI)Oeko-Institut
This document summarizes an evaluation of the German National Climate Initiative (NCI) from 2008 to 2014. The NCI supports climate action projects across Germany using funds from the federal budget and EU emissions trading revenues. The evaluation assessed over 200 individual projects and found that investment-based projects like micro-CHP plants and energy efficiency in municipalities achieved the largest greenhouse gas reductions over the lifetime of the projects, totaling over 7 million tons of CO2. Information-based projects reached more people but had less direct climate impact. Success factors identified included raising awareness, demonstrating examples, and networks that increased effectiveness through sharing best practices. Evaluation challenges included lack of data and uncertainty in measuring indirect and long-term impacts.

Introduction to the Targeted Topics Forum & NAP Global NetworkNAP Global Network
This document outlines the objectives and structure of the Targeted Topics Forum on Coordinating Climate-Resilient Development. The forum aims to: 1) develop strategies for high-level political support for mainstreaming climate adaptation; 2) gain practical knowledge on integrating adaptation into sectoral planning; and 3) identify roles of different actors to coordinate adaptation actions. It consists of three components: a steering committee of 11 countries, a secretariat, and global participation of donors and practitioners. The goal is to enhance bilateral support for national adaptation plans through improved coordination, leadership, learning, and exchange.
Introduction: Why Focus on Financing Implementation of NAPs? NAP Global Network
2nd Targeted Topics Forum, Kingston, March 15, 2016
National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Global Network
Presented by Anne Hammill, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)
The document discusses prioritizing adaptation activities and options. It notes that prioritization is important given constraints like resources, capacities, and authority. Some options can be maladaptive if they foreclose other options. The document then provides examples of prioritization methods like ranking vulnerabilities, scoring consequences, and multi-criteria analysis. It emphasizes selecting an approach that suits available data and involving stakeholders in deciding criteria and rankings. Overall, the summary highlights that prioritization of climate adaptation requires considering constraints, potential unintended impacts, appropriate methods, and stakeholder participation.
The document discusses mainstreaming adaptation to climate change into development planning. Mainstreaming means systematically identifying climate risks and opportunities and modifying policies, strategies, and plans wherever necessary to address vulnerabilities across sectors in the long term. It involves taking a development-first approach where climate change is considered an integral part of development planning. The key steps for mainstreaming adaptation are to identify development goals and how they could be affected by climate change, identify which policies and plans need modification to reduce vulnerabilities, identify relevant adaptation options, engage actors responsible for implementation, and identify required resources and capacities as well as barriers. Mainstreaming helps make national investments work for climate change and can improve access to international climate funds.
The document discusses OECD's work tracking adaptation-related development finance from 2010-2013. It found total bilateral and multilateral adaptation finance reached over $15.1 billion in 2013, with 75% from DAC members as ODA. Most funding targeted agriculture, forestry, water supply and sanitation. The document also reviewed national development plans of 15 countries, finding climate change and adaptation mentioned but integration varied. Adaptation was often linked to agriculture, forests and watersheds. Some countries established climate change committees and funds to coordinate responses and pool domestic and international financing.
NAP Process in Togo: Experience Intergrating Adaptation Into Planning and Bud...NAP Global Network
Togo has initiated a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process since 2014 with support from GIZ to integrate climate change adaptation into planning and budgeting. An intersectoral committee oversees the process, chaired by the Ministry of Planning and co-chaired by the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources. Current work focuses on developing the NAP process, mainstreaming adaptation into policies and programs like agriculture, and drafting a NAP document by 2016. Challenges include maintaining coordination, scaling to more sectors, mobilizing domestic resources, and obtaining external finance. Next steps involve drafting the NAP reference document, training, developing financing and implementation strategies, and monitoring sectors' adaptation actions.
The document summarizes statistics and information on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) from the UNFCCC Registry and NAMA Database. It notes that while there are over 80 NAMAs across 34 countries listed in the database, the level of detail provided varies and there is likely more progress on NAMAs than is publicly reported.

Presented by Edward Joshua & George Chande (Department of Economic Planning & Development, Malawi) at the 2nd Targeted Topics Forum, Jamaica, March 2016
This document discusses how to build high-level political support for national adaptation plan (NAP) processes. It defines high-level political support as expressed commitment through verbal declarations, institutional commitment through policies and infrastructure, and budgetary commitment through earmarked resources. It notes that expressed commitment without institutional or budgetary follow-through is rhetorical. The document examines factors that shape political prioritization of adaptation issues, including norm promotion, resource provision, civil society mobilization, policy community cohesion, external framing, political champions, credible indicators, focusing events, clear policy alternatives, political transitions, and competing priorities. It emphasizes understanding what influences policymakers' priorities and how to manage opportunities and barriers.
Landscape of international adaptation finance and role of NAPs NAP Global Network

National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Global Network
Presented by Sharon Lindo, Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre
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.
Federal agencies in the US are required to analyze climate risks, develop adaptation plans, and examine how to support state and local adaptation efforts. There are challenges to climate resilient development in the US, as decision making is often delegated to states and communities who face competing priorities, lack of political will and budget constraints, and disagreements over potential "winners and losers" of regulatory changes. Political support and overcoming these challenges are important issues in climate adaptation efforts in the US.

RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
2. In the context of the NAP process,
vertical integration is:
The process of creating intentional
and strategic linkages between
national and sub-national
adaptation planning,
implementation and monitoring &
evaluation (M&E)
What is vertical
integration?
4. The process of vertical integration is:
• Iterative
• Unique to the country context
The best approach to vertical integration
depends on:
• Institutional structures for adaptation
• Progress on decentralization of sectoral
and development planning
• Capacity at national and sub-national
levels
