Common ground between the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework : climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction

Informed by the country approaches of Ghana, Peru and the Philippines, in addition to a review of relevant literature, this report examines the potential for increased coherence in approaches to climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction across levels of government and sectors. Foreword Acknowledgements Acronyms Executive summary Findings and ways forward to achieve increased coherence in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction National approaches to increased coherence in CCA ad DRR Governance arrangements for coherence in CCA and DRR Climate services in support of CCA and DRR Implementation of CCA and DRR Financing for coherence in CCA and DRR Monitoring, evaluation and learning The role of development co-operation in supporting coherence in CCA and DRR Ways forward to achieve greater coherence on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction Part I Increased coherence in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction 1. Background and rational for increased coherence in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction Objective and scope Climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction – different origins, common goals Challenges and opportunities of a coherent approach to CCA and DRR International context as a driver for domestic action References 2. National approaches to increased coherence in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction Aligning governance for CCA and DRR Development of climate services in support of coherence in CCA and DRR Implementing risk reduction measures for the climate-related risks of today and the future Financing DRR and CCA at the national level Coherence in monitoring and evaluation frameworks International and domestic reporting mechanisms for DRR International and domestic reporting mechanisms for CCA Areas of convergence in reporting for CCA DRR References 3. The role of development co-operation in supporting increased coherence in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction Supporting coherence in CCA and DRR at different levels Strategic coherence: Development co-operation’s role in supporting national vision Operational coherence: Development co-operation’s role in supporting national policies and institutional settings Technical coherence: Development co-operation’s role in supporting partners in bridging the gap between policy and implementation Climate data and information Enhancing capacity and tools for decision making Piloting innovative and emerging solutions Post-disaster reconstruction Private sector engagement Development finance for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction Financing instruments for climate and disaster risks Grants Debt finance instruments Risk financing instruments State of development finance for CCA and disaster risk reduction and management Effective development co-operation for coherence in CCA and DRR References Part II.
