Context

 2015 agreement to strengthen and encourage best

efforts in all areas of climate action, including adaptation and means of implementation

 Mitigation, adaptation, means of implementation

connected to each other…

 …though connections are neither immediate (in time) nor

linear, are country-specific and influenced by nat’l actions

 Recognition that processes to ensure dynamism in each

  • f the three areas will take different forms
  • Dynamism: process that allows actions taken under

the 2015 agreement to respond to changing needs, circumstances and knowledge

Elements for dynamism in mitigation

Collective

  • bjective

Collective or global multilateral process National “contribution” at regular intervals Individual, country-level multilateral process Progression over time

Transparency / Measurement, reporting and verification systems

Could these categories apply to adaptation?

Collective

  • bjective

Collective /global process National action Individual, country process Progression

  • ver time
  • Qualitative, focused on reducing vulnerabilities, managing

risk, and enhancing resilience and adaptive capacity

  • Captured in current INDCs and “undertakings”
  • Could have common timeline for communication
  • Diverse set of measures
  • Take stock of progress and trends at national level;

difficult to aggregate

  • Sharing knowledge and lessons between countries
  • Assess outcomes of actions taken, indicators
  • Progress with implementation; success, challenges, needs
  • Assessing changes in risks, vulnerabilities
  • NAP Process
  • Continuously addressing changes in risks, vulnerabilities,

priorities

  • Greater coverage (geographic, economic) of adaptation

planning

Could these categories apply to means of implementation?

Collective

  • bjective

Collective /global process National action Individual, country process Progression

  • ver time
  • Not clear
  • Mitigation and adaptation objectives: require expansion

and shift investments and financial flows

  • Provision and/or mobilisation: Not clear
  • Commitment to “greening” domestic flows
  • Amount of finance required indentified in some INDCs
  • Assessment of climate finance and support flows, e.g. SCF
  • Quadrennial replenishment cycles, strengthened reviews
  • Potentially through strengthened transparency and MRV

systems

  • Increased scale  Effectiveness (improved outcomes)
  • Better integration of CC across spending, econ activity
  • Overall “greening”  Improved country alignment
  • Improved mobilisation

Concluding remarks

 Adaptation planning and implementation a dynamic process at

the national level (often 5-7 years)

  • Identification of risks and needs evolves, regular

assessments lead to changes in adaptation planning

 Climate support flows are also dynamic, in practice responding

to various factors (national level 1-2 years; multiannual replenishments)

  • Progress can be determined in many ways
  • Arguably, impact “on the ground” most important (ability to

act; gradual transformation toward low-emission, climate resilient economic systems)

 Links between mitigation, adaptation and support will emerge

within all processes

  • Some Parties have proposed overarching, integrated global

stocktake > would also draw out links

Discussion questions

 Could the notion of continuously enhancing mitigation

ambition be applied to adaptation, and if so, how?

 What framework is needed to deliver climate support

  • ver time in the context of evolving needs and

capabilities?
