Summary:
The likelihood components of climate-related risks in the Cook Islands are evaluated, for both present-day and future conditions. Changes into the future reflect the influence of global warming. The risk events for which the current and future likelihoods are evaluated are extreme rainfall events, drought, high sea levels, strong winds, and extreme high air temperatures. Tropical cyclone frequencies over the past century are also examined. Some climate-related human health and infrastructure risks are also investigated.

Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
FAO, Ministry of Agriculture (Nepal)Summary:
Nepal is one of the global “hot spots” countries for natural disasters. The country is prone to variety of recurring natural disasters such as floods, drought, land slides, hailstorms, snow avalanches, Glacial Lake Outbursts (GLOF), hot and cold waves and pest and disease epidemics. The poor and marginalised groups of people residing in the rural areas are usually hit hardest by these natural calamities. Agriculture which is Nepal’s principal economic sector, employing 80 percent of the population is highly exposed to natural disasters.
Expected Outputs:
Enhancing technical capacity within DoA for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in Agriculture
Strengthening basic support services for Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in Agriculture sector in two selected pilot districts
Demonstration of prioritized location specific technologies for Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Management (DRM) within the agriculture sector through a participatory learning by doing process at district and community levels.

Promoting Autonomous Adaptation at the Community Level in Ethiopia
-
Project details
-
Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
UNDP, Federal Environment Protection Agency, Addis Ababa Environment Protection AgencySummary:
Climate change is already affecting the security of Ethiopia’s sustainable development. Rain-fed agricultural production, mushrooming population growth, and a decline in per capita environmental resource availability (including arable land, water, pasture, forest and biodiversity) render the livelihoods of the majority of the population sensitive to climate-related shocks including drought and flooding.
Project Components:
This UNDP-GEF project is designed to address projected climate change impacts and their underlying causes in relation to low agricultural productivity, poor access to risk-reducing instruments, and poor supply of extension advice and gender inequality. The project will help Ethiopian communities adapt by providing them with the tools needed for anticipatory and autonomous adaptation (i.e. climate risk information, financing, insurance, technical support). By developing capacity to routinely include climate risks into planning processes, planning authorities will be able to provision appropriate levels of support to communities to help them adapt.
Outcome 1 will work to improve capacity and approaches for integrated climate impact analysis, future implementation planning and costing (including identification of technologies and knowledge needs) at the sub-national level in a way that supports local stakeholder participation in adaptation planning.
Outcome 2 will work to improve access for development agents and communities to adaptation techniques and practices. Local centers of excellence will provide capacity development services.
Under Outcome 3, the project will use two critical risk-reducing factors – access to information and access to financial instruments – to incentivise local adoption and adaptation of climate resilience enhancing techniques and practices.
Expected Outputs:
Objective: To support local communities and administrations at the level of government to design and implement adaptation actions aimed at reducing vulnerability and building resilience, especially in those communities that are particularly vulnerable
- By the end of the project at least two national programmes will have mainstreamed climate change adaptation into their practice based on lessons learned from this LDCF project
- By the end of the project at least four Woreda and one Regional development plan will have been revised to incorporate climate change risks and opportunities
- By the end of the project, 5000 subsistence farmers have adopted adaptation measures, and climate resilient agricultural production has increased by 12.5% in target areas compared to baseline (1t/ha maize) and adjusted for rainfall.
Outcome 1: Sub-national institutional capacities for coordinated climate-resilient planning and investment strengthened
- By project end, four Woreda and one Regional task teams have been trained in and use climate-related vulnerability and risk assessments in an integrated area-based planning approach.
- Average CCA capacity score in the four Woreda and one Regional level is 3 for both men and women.
- Climate resilient investment strategies based on integrated climate resilient development plans are in place and attracting funding for four Woreda &one Regional area.
Outcome 2: Access to technologies and practices that improve the range and efficiency of adaptation options improved
- By project end, 5000 subsistence farmers (83% male-headed, 17% female-headed) have been trained in and tested on climate change resilience building techniques and practices, of which 35% of both male and female headed farming households have adopted such practices permanently.
- By project end, five project task teams from four Woreda and one Regional administration have the capacity to transfer adaptation technologies with a capacity score of 3.
Outcome 3: Capacity for community-based climate change adaptation improved
- By project end at least 25% of the men and 25% of the women in the target communities are using innovative mechanisms to insure against the inherent uncertainty of climate change.
- By project end climate resilient agricultural production has increased by 12.5% in target areas compared to baseline (1t/ha maize) and for adjusted for rainfall.
