Climate-proofing Energy Systems
Submitted by laurawilliamson on Mon, 2009-12-07 21:54Summary:
This publication explains why a metric to measure the vulnerability and resilience of energy system to climate change is needed. The publication proposes a methodology and provides two sets of indicators: one to measure the extent of vulnerability within a particular energy system and a second to identify possible adaptation options.
These indicators are applied to ten Sub-Saharan countries. The indicator results and possible adaptation measures are outlined.

Implementing Agency:
UNDPImplementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
UNITARSummary:
Project Rationale and Objectives _(as outlined in the Project Document of 25 July 2003)_ The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) represent the poorest and weakest segment of the international community. The economic and social development of these countries represents a major challenge because of a series of vulnerabilities and constraints, such as limited human, institutions and productive LDCs themselves, as well as for their development partners.
Project Components:
To train Francophone NAPA teams to produce NAPAs of good quality.
Expected Outputs:
21 Country teams are adequately trained to carry out their NAPA work. The three key outcomes are: * Informed representatives of the Francophone LDCs delegations and increased awareness about the application of the NAPA guidelines from a substantive point of view; * Increased participatory discussion among the various players involved and their proactive commitment to the NAPA creation process. * Increased understanding of Francophone LDCs UNFCCC Focal Points about successful GEF NAPA projects implementation/process.
