Parallel Session 9.2: Regional TEM-A– (GCF): Financing implementation of countries adaptation priorities

Part III: Impact of adaptation investments for increasing resilience and reducing risk

Introduction

This session will focus on adaptation investments for high impact, based upon improved metrics. The session will address appropriate access modalities
for adaptation financing, starting from project design based upon adaptation planning, country programming and prioritization. Operationalization of adaptation metrics will be discussed in relation to GCF monitoring, evaluation, and reporting frameworks. The session will also discuss good practices in addressing barriers to adaptation finance by implementing effective adaptation monitoring.

Objectives

  • Sharing latest developments on climate adaptation in the water and agriculture sectors;
  • Introducing a GCF proposed methodology for successful adaptation project design;
  • Facilitating discussion with Accredited Entities and NDAs for producing adaptation programmes and projects based upon climate rationale;
  • Sharing knowledge towards operationalisation of adaptation metrics.

Expected outcomes

  • Strengthen understanding of global processes for promoting the paradigm shift towards climate resilience, through adaptation policies, plans, programmes, and projects;
  • Increase understanding of the project design process;
  • Clarify requirements for investment criteria indicators for GCF financing;
  • Outline adaptation indicators for results-based monitoring.
