TACC Nigeria: Delta State - Territorial Approach to Climate Change
-
Project details
-
Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
UNDP, UNOPS, UNEP, Delta State GovernmentSummary:
The Down to Earth: Territorial Approach to Climate Change (TACC) is part of a partnership between the United Nations and sub-national governments for fostering climate friendly development at the sub-national level. This partnership is a collaborative effort involving UNDP, UNEP and eight associations of regions.
Project Components:
The Down to Earth: Territorial Approach to Climate Change (TACC) project aims to assist regional and local governments in developing countries in:
- Developing integrated climate change strategies and action plans to assess development options that are robust enough to withstand different future climatic conditions.
- Strengthening capacity of sub‐national authorities to integrate climate change into sustainable development planning and programming.
- Identifying no regrets/negative costs/low‐cost adaptation and mitigation measures that promote long‐ term sustainability and poverty reduction.
- Enhancing the capacity of regional and local government to enact regulatory measures, as well as to take advantage of new sources of environmental finance, to implement these no regrets/negative cost/low‐cost options.
Expected Outputs:
The overall objective of the project, namely supporting low-carbon and climate change-resilient local development in Nigeria, will be achieved by supporting local decision-makers and planners to design integrated climate change (adaptation and mitigation) policies, strategies and formulate concrete actions and investment plans that promote long-term sustainability and poverty reduction in the context of local / regional development.
- Output 1. Partnership, coordination and participation platforms for climate change planning and programming established
- Output 2. Capacity to integrate climate change issues into regional development plans and actions built
- Output 3. Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP) formulated
- Output 4. Climate change policy and investment package developed
- Output 5. Lessons learned and best practices disseminated

Mapping South African Farming Sector Vulnerability to Climate Change and Variability: A Subnational Assessment
Submitted by lakatosc on Thu, 2009-08-27 21:44
Summary:
Summary
A new paper from IFPRI analyzes the vulnerability of South African farmers to climate change and variability by developing a vulnerability index and comparing vulnerability indicators across the country's nine provinces. Nineteen environmental and socioeconomic indicators reflect the three components of vulnerability: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The results of the study show that the regions most vulnerable to climate change and variability also have a higher capacity to adapt to climate change.
Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification Methodologies for Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use
Submitted by lakatosc on Tue, 2009-08-04 02:34Summary:
Background
Facilitating carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems could provide a significant amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) abatement. With relatively small investments, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could be offset dramatically by management practices such as planting trees, reducing deforestation, mid-season draining of irrigated rice, improving nitrogen fertilization efficiency, and increasing organic matter inputs to agricultural soils.
