THE TARGET OF PROCLIM

“To strengthen national capabilities for an effective work of the human, institutional, and financial resources to face Climate Change and Manage Air Quality in prioritized geographic areas and

cities”

PROCLIM´s thematic lines

Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A)

To evaluate V & A and presentation of proposals

To train / educate in V & A

To generate information and base tools

Inventories and Mitigation + CDM

To improve institutional capacities

To improve and to systematize information

To provide sustainability of information systems

Info Dissemination and Training

Pubic awareness

Information exchange

Objective of the V&A component

“Sistematize and increase the knowledge on V&A to Climate Change and mainstream it into y ampliar el conocimiento sobre vulnerabilidad y adaptación al

Cambio climático, y propiciar su incorporación en la toma de decisiones y formulación de políticas”.

¿How it was done?

Current and future vulnerability

Adaptation proposals

Mainstream proposals to the regional and local development planning and management

Knowledge of current climate conditions, climate change at regional and local level

- Climate scenariosD&C

Stakeholders involvement and participative

consultation process

What we Achieve?

Capacity to generate climate scenarios in 2 institutions

knowledege of the climate change impacts in the two prioritized pilot areas

Identification of current and future vulnerablity in the two selected river

basins

Identification of differentiated socials groups vulnerables two climate

change (gende analysis)

Determination of water resources availability due to deglaciation in one

river basin (Santa)

Proposals of adaptation measures presented to decision takers and

mainstream into local and regional development planning and management

Identification of priority intervention areas (integrated map)

CONTENIDO

Our approach

National Circumnstances

What was done and how

Barriers and oportunities

Next steps

Socio Economic Conditions - poverty

Vulnerability to climate variability: lack of prevention culture

Lack of Information and difficult access to it

Climate Change still only on environmenal community

Diversity of methodological approaches

V&A: sample on prioritized regions and sectors:

tools and info to “convince” and force

prioritization/decisionsvelop of capacities/equiment and human

resources

Still only financed and supported by International Cooperation

(each time less for developing countries)

Barriers and Needs

Need of methodological guides for future actions/proyects

Capacity to generate CC scenarios

Strenghtening of technical and administrative capabilities in

project management

Is possible the interaction among scientific and

management institutions.

PROCLIM generates an intangible asset expresed in more

robust interinstitutional relations

V&A Assessments

To be achieved under SNCC

the Ministry of Economy and Finances (includes vulnerability indicators)

R-1.5 Adaptation Strategy

R.4 Integrating CC in DevelopmentR- 4.1 D&C, support to mitigation proposals and Adaptation Strategy

R- 4.2 Assessment and develop of indicators of the impact of the SNC in national plans, policies (such as poverty reduction, MDG)

R. 5 Restrictions, gaps and needs for a National climate observation system (NCOS) and CC researchR.5.1 DiagnosisR.5.2 Proposal of the NCOS

SECOND NATIONAL COMMUNICATION

Cofinancing needs• replicate and enhance capacity building efforts through

the involvement of additional institutions and actors

(i.e. domino effect of Capabilities Development and raising awareness) • For the Region Pilot Adaptation Project (SCCF, with Bolivia and Ecuador)

NEXT STEPS AND NEEDSTechnical Cooperation Needs

• Hands on training for the V&A assessments of sectors and river baisns (impacts quantification methodologies, develop of vulnerability indicators)

• Use and application of Cc scenarios (models taking into account warming degrees)

• Develop and use of socioeconomc scenarios
