REGIONAL CONSULTATIVE MEETING OF NATIONAL
PLATFORMS ON DRR DIALOGUE ON CLIMATE CHANGE
ADAPTATION, October 20-22, Panama
HFA Climate Change Reporting Needs and Proposals
Presented by Group 3
2
Overview
  • Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a cross-cutting
    and complex development issue that requires
    political and legal commitment, public
    understanding, scientific knowledge, careful
    development planning, responsible enforcement of
    policies and legislation, people-centred early
    warning systems, and effective disaster
    preparedness and response mechanisms.
  • A multi-stakeholder National Platform for DRR can
    help provide and mobilize knowledge, skills and
    resources required for mainstreaming DRR into
    development policies, planning and programmes.
  • DDR is not a legally-binding commitment
  • CCA Adverse effects are not felt equally from
    one region / country to the next
  • Need for commitment to help the most vulnerable

3
  • Small island states, coastal systems and other
    low-lying areas are especially vulnerable to the
    effects and impacts of climate change, rising sea
    levels and extreme weather events.
  • Millions of people are likely to be affected
    by floods, storm surges, erosion and other
    coastal hazards every year due to rising sea
    levels by the 2080s

4
  • Lessons learned from Kyoto how can we further
    accountability and real costing of adverse
    effects of climate change spanning the continents
    and regions
  • Disaggregating measures to account for regional
    differences in impacts
  • Caribbean context coping mechanisms and coping
    capacities

5
HFA Climate Change Reporting
  • The Caribbean region in particular presents a
    strong need for integrated DRR Climate Change
    Reporting Programmes
  • Increase in extreme events rising sea-levels
    are critical issues for the Caribbean in
    particular

6
  • Vulnerability a function of the character,
    magnitude and rate of climate change and
    variation to which a system is exposed, its
    sensitivity and its adaptive capacity. (Source
    IPCC)
  • Adaptive Capacity The ability of a system to
    adjust to climate change (including climate
    variability and extremes) to moderate potential
    damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or
    to cope with the consequences. (Source IPCC)
  • Climate Impact Assessment The practice of
    identifying and evaluating the (detrimental and
    beneficial) consequences of climate change on
    natural and human systems. (Source IPCC WG II)
  • What does this imply for the Caribbean region
    where (whole) populations will be displaced over
    the next 50-100 years and some islands may even
    disappear entirely?

7
Current mechanisms
  • National Adaptation Programmes of Action
  • National Communication on Climate Change to the
    UNFCC
  • Ibero-American Climate Change Offices Network
    (RIOCC)
  • Ibero-American Plan surrounding Climate Change
    Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation (PIACC)
  • Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Global
    Climate Change (CPACC)
  • Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM)
  • The Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility
    (CCRIF)
  • Five-Year ACS Plan of Action for Disaster Risk
    Reduction in the Greater Caribbean
  • Peru is currently developing an agricultural
    insurance mechanism
  • others

8
Current mechanisms
  • The Hyogo Framework for Action specifically
    identifies the need to promote the integration
    of risk reduction associated with existing
    climate variability and future climate change
    into strategies for the reduction of disaster
    risk and adaptation to climate change....
  • Unlike Climate Change, HFA reporting and DRR
    measures are only a political commitment and not
    legally-binding
  • CCRIF must be strengthened or couples with other
    risk transfer mechanisms to account for climate
    change extreme events, as well as smaller-scale
    events
  • Need for cluster of transfer mechanisms
    disaggregated
  • Reporting to whom and to what end? Purpose of
    reporting

9
Needs
  • Need for other intermediate sources
  • Need to explore other risk transfer mechanisms
    with a focus on climate change
  • Water resources and safe drinking water
  • Increasing need for coping mechanisms for
    high-frequency, low intensity events (i.e.
    small-scale events)

10
Needs
  • Need for true-costing beyond economic incentives
  • Incentives / disincentives
  • Displacement of environmentally-induced
    populations
  • Need to return to land-use planning management
    as a central area of focus
  • Beyond assessments, need for coping mechanisms
  • Need for ownership and leadership of the DRR
    process at all levels, national and local in
    particular

11
Indicators
  • Need to strengthen indicators that link DRR CCA
  • Need for adequate capabilities for monitoring
    (extreme events)
  • Reporting to UN system and to national
    governments
  • Planning for displaced populations, in part due
    to rising sea levels
  • 50 100 years Who will report and who will
    support medium to long term programming, planning
    and policy

12
Indicators cont.
  • Country-specific indicators to ensure ownership
    of programmes and mechanisms
  • Consideration of local cultural values

13
Proposals
  • Two-way reporting to facilitate accountability
  • Donour responsibility
  • Robustness i.e. cultural nuances considered
    accounted for within reporting
  • Promote / support the rights of environmentally
    induced migrants
  • Land-use management and planning with focus on CC
    DRR
  • Priority of water resources and other natural
    resources in medium to long term
  • Ecosystem services
  • Land tenure within the UN agenda

14
  • Strengthen CCRIF other risk transfer mechanisms
    with incentives and disincentives (invoke
    Canadian government initiative to promote
    reduction activities
  • DRR CC tools and incentives for national
    governments specifically
  • Incentives for DRR beyond economic / macro terms

15
  • Practical guidelines
  • Move from theory to practice
  • Reporting at all levels, including local
  • Programmes for investing in prevention coupled
    with other mechanisms of risk transfer
  • Particular focus on high frequency, low intensity
    events
  • Mechanisms i.e. buffer for increasing resilience
    to smaller-scale events

16
  • Use of cost-benefit mechanisms for mitigation
  • Strengthening local coping capacities for
    small-scale events lessons learned good
    practices
  • Insurance mechanisms with incentives to increase
    resilience, reduce risk, and promote prevention
    through premiums

17
Conclusions
  • Greater emphasis on HFA in general HFA Priority
    for Action 4 Reduce the underlying risk factors
    in particular
  • DRR Priority 4 as a legally-binding reporting
    requirement (along with CCA) commitment
  • Move from theory to practice
