  Systemic Subnational Adaptation withinthe NAP Process: Experience with performance-based climate resilience grants Incheon, April/2019

  Local knowledge Legitimacy and convening power Mandate Why the NAPprocess needs the subnational level?

  ❖ The ParisAgreement highlights the need to integrate adaptation in policies and actions, particularly at the subnational level: “Parties to the UNFCCC acknowledge that adaptation action should follow a country driven, gender-responsive, participatory and fully transparent approach, taking into consideration vulnerable groups, communities and ecosystems (…)with a view to integrating adaptation into relevant socioeconomic and environmental policies and actions… [Article 7] Capacity-building should [therefore] be country-driven, based on and responsive to national needs, and foster country ownership of Parties, in particular, for developing country Parties, including at the national, subnational and local levels. [Article 11]” ❖ Subnational plans and NAP process: ❖ Identifying and addressing local adaptation needs ❖ Climate change mainstreaming ❖ Collaboration within and across administrative units ❖ Aggregation into national plans Why the NAP process needs the subnational level?

  Obstacles at subnationallevel • Most local authorities are unable to contribute effectively to climate change adaptation due to : Lack of capacities to mainstream CC into local public planning and budgeting systems/processes Lack of financing for revenue-generating private and public-private adaptation projects Sources of climate finance only available through application to national programmes

  The Local ClimateAdaptive Living (LoCAL) Facility A standard and country based mechanism
• 6.
  • Objectives: • Methodologicalinput on local adaptation planning and mainstreaming processes and on the related performance- based climate resilience grants mechanism (financing component); • Support LDCs addressing issues related to the planning and implementation of adaptation-oriented investments by local authorities using processes and structures in place; • Highlight the subnational level contribution to achieving national goals, such as the NAPs. • Audience: • National planners and decision–makers working on CC issues in LDCs; • Local political leaders and local authorities’ teams in charge of planning, budgeting, executing and monitoring – while integrating climate change; • Development partners and stakeholders who are working on issues related to climate change decentralization. • To be launched at NAP Expo  8-12 April 2019 in South Korea NAP – LoCAL Guidelines

  Local Climate AdaptiveLiving Facility (LoCAL) ❖ Goal/impact: to promote climate change–resilient communities and local economies ❖ Objectives: ❖ Increased local CC awareness and capacities ❖ CC adaptation is mainstreamed into local public planning and budgeting systems, in a participatory and gender-sensitive manner ❖ Increased financing available to LGAs for climate change adaptation. ❖ Phased approach (piloting, consolidating and scaling-up)
