This book was released on 2023-02-23 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billions of dollars are annually transferred to poor nations to help them adapt to the effects of climate change. This Element examines how the discourses on adaptation finance of many developing country negotiators, environmental groups, development charities, academics and international bureaucrats have renewed a specific vision of aid, that of an aid intended to respond to international injustices and to fuel a regular transfer of resources between rich and poor countries. By reviewing manifestations of this normative vision of aid in key contemporary debates on adaptation finance, the author shows how these discourses have contributed to the significant financial mobilisation of developed countries towards adaptation in the Global South. But there remains a stark contrast between the many expectations associated with these discourses and today's adaptation finance landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This working paper analyses the nature of international adaptation finance received in Kenya and Tanzania, with particular emphasis on the extent to which the projects were devolved and thus potentially more responsive to the priorities for climate change adaptation as determined by local governments (LGs) and communities. The analysis is based on the OECD database of projects in the period 2013-2019 with projects selected based on their financial value, measured as 'adaptationrelated development finance'. During this period Tanzania received USD 2.0 billion as adaptation-related development finance, whereas Kenya received USD 3.3 billion. In each country, the research team selected the most valuable projects that together constitute 70% of total adaptation-related development finance in the two countries. A method for analysis of the project documents to measure degree of devolution was developed with three main parameters: (i) the extent to which finance was managed through local government accounts; (ii) the extent to which the projects in the respective national budgets were considered devolved; and (iii) the extent to which funding was discretionary and using of participatory planning arrangements for management of the funds. Given Kenya's greater emphasis on devolution, its fiscal strengths, and the autonomy of its counties, when compared to Tanzanian local governments, it was assumed that adaptation-related development finance would be relatively more devolved in Kenya than Tanzania. However, preliminary analysis suggests otherwise. The analysis also suggests that projects classified by development partners as 'adaptation-related development finance' in several cases exaggerate levels of funding and only contribute marginally to improved local governance of climate adaption activities. This analysis is an initial step of a four-year comparative research programme on the governance of climate change adaptation finance in the two countries. The article raises key issues for future in- depth country and local research.

Download or read book The Governance of Climate Change Adaptation in Developing Countries written by Tina Peissker and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam (Chair of International Poilitics), language: English, abstract: The prospects that global climate change will have adverse effects on human societies opened up a discourse about how adaptation should be managed. In order to finance adap-tation measures, the parties of the Kyoto Protocol recently established the Adaptation Fund in 2007. In view of the limited resources that are available for adaptation, scales for the prioritization of countries according to their suspected vulnerability have been developed in the literature. Indicators of vulnerability highlighted within this literature, only reflect the indicators of human development and therefore fail to capture the complex structures of vulnerability. The collective learning approach assumes that vulnerability can be significantly decreased when governance systems adapt to external changes through collective learning processes. The present thesis connects to this notion and therefore assesses the influence of collective learning processes on the vulnerability of the Bangladeshi and Pakistani society towards flood hazards. It does so in order to find a determinant of vulnerability that is able to capture its complexity. Following a case study comparison that is based on a systematic research on primary and secondary literature this study reconfirms that vulnerability can substantially be decreased in the presence of collective learning processes.

Download or read book Devolved Finance and Governance of Climate Change Adaptation written by Esbern Friis-Hansen and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Paris Agreement in 2015, adaptation debates have increasingly shifted from focusing narrowly on finance to considerations around governance of programming, implementation and impact of support for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The character of finance for climate change adaptation and debates around it are currently in a time of potentially significant transition. Much focus of UNCC Conference of the Parties (COP) negotiations has been on agreeing on a common rulebook and on ensuring Global South access to finance for climate change action. These goals have now largely been reached and international attention is shifting to how and at what scale climate change actions take place and are governed. Most of the finance for climate change adaptation is currently used and governed at international and national levels. That being said, new international agendas and forms of cooperation are emerging with enhanced focus on devolved finance and governance of climate change adaptation. This report presents an overview of the state of climate change adaptation finance, with focus on devolved governance and use in Least Developed Countries (LDC).[...].

Download or read book Adaptation Policy Frameworks for Climate Change written by Ian Burton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptation is a process by which individuals, communities and countries seek to cope with the consequences of climate change. The process of adaptation is not new; the idea of incorporating future climate risk into policy-making is. While our understanding of climate change and its potential impacts has become clearer, the availability of practical guidance on adaptation has not kept pace. The development of the Adaptation Policy Framework (APF) is intended to help provide the rapidly evolving process of adaptation policy-making with a much-needed roadmap. Ultimately, the purpose of the APF is to support adaptation processes to protect - and enhance - human well-being in the face of climate change. This volume will be invaluable for everyone working on climate change adaptation and policy-making.

Download or read book Seychelles written by International Monetary Fund. African Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper takes stock of Seychelles’ plans to manage climate change, from the perspective of its macroeconomic implications. It suggests macro-relevant reforms that could strengthen the plans’ likelihood of success. It highlights high public awareness and a body of existing sustainable development planning, which puts Seychelles several steps ahead toward preparedness. Next steps would be to ensure that climate change planning is integrated with the forthcoming National Development Plan. Disaster preparedness is a relatively strong point, but there is much still to be done—from improving warning systems to resilience building to contingency financing.
