Guidelines for mainstreaming climate change and key consideration
- 1. MINISTRY OF WATER AND ENVIRONMENT CLIMATE CHANGE DEPARTMENT Enhancing Climate Change Mainstreaming Semambo Muhammad
- 2. Objectives of the National Climate Change Mainstreaming Guidelines Objectives are; 1. The guidelines provide highlights of the approaches that can be used to mainstream climate change in sector plans and budget. 2. The guidelines are designed to provide different sectors with approaches on how to: Carry out impact and vulnerability assessments; Identify opportunities and entry points for integration of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures; Propose options for integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation into the policy formulation process, financing, implementation and evaluation at national, local and community levels; Assist to improve resilience.
- 3. The Rationale for Mainstreaming Climate Change Cont.. Specific Objective No.4 of NCCP aims to; • support the integration of CC issues into planning, decision making and investments in all sectors SDG No.13: take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. • 13.2 calls countries to : Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.
- 4. Basic Steps and tools in the process of CC Mainstreaming in Sector Plans and Budgets 4 S1: Conduct CC Impact & Vulnerability Assessment S4: Design & Implement a plan for mainstreaming CC in different sectors S6: Evaluate performance & Review the A & M S5: Monitor the CCAM Implementation Process S3: Identify & cost Programmes & actions for climate interventions S2: Identify & Analyse A/M Options
- 5. Operationalization of Mainstreaming CC • GoU has made tremendous efforts in mainstreaming CC in sectoral policies & now in NDP III, a process currently on going. • Climate and Disaster Risk Screening (CDR) and Climate Change Budget Tagging (CBT)- WB provides Technical support as part of its NDC contribution • Climate Risk Screening and Budget Tagging tools provide a systematic means of mainstreaming climate change in planning and budgetary processes • 3 key NDC P Focal institutions: MWE/CCD, MoFPED, NPA and 5
- 6. Why Screen for Climate Risks? • The physical context: Aspects of local and regional climate, such as the frequency and intensity of heat events or intense storms, are changing. These changes have implications for infrastructure, communities, natural resources, and ecosystems. • The national development context: Changes in climate conditions, or the effects of climate change (e.g. drought, floods), posses new challenges for developing countries, and threaten progress toward development goals or rollback development gains • The project context: Investments that do not take into account existing or future climate risks may fail to accomplish their goals. Climate change risks can roll back development gains in SDGs, GGDS, NDP
- 7. Which hazards will affect your project location? Extreme temps Climate and Geological Hazards Drought Extreme precipitation/ floods Strong winds
- 8. • Irrigation and drainage • Crops and land management • Livestock • Storage and processing • Rural transport • Land use and watershed management • Dams and Reservoirs • Water supply • Wastewater • Sanitation • Riverine flood protection Agriculture Tool Water Tool Some of the tools for screening • Roads, bridges, or tunnels • Road surfacing and resealing • Drainage systems • Traveler and toll systems • Traffic signals and signs • Supporting mechanical or electrical systems • Non-road transportation Transportation ToolEnergy Tool • Oil and gas • Hydropower • Thermal power generation • Energy efficiency in heat and power • Transmission and distribution • Other renewable energy Environment Tool • Biodiversity • Forestry Other tools will follow with time !!!!
- 10. Simplified Screening Process Project Information Sector Expertise Country Development Context +Climate Change trends/projections = Identify risks at early stage Dialogue with teams, clients Are there any short and long term climate and disaster risks that could affect the sustainability of my project?
- 11. Risk Screening: 4-Logic Steps Hazard Exposure Potential Impact Adaptive Capacity Project Risk
- 12. Climate vulnerability and risks to the project/policy Informed basis to address climate vulnerability & risks in project/policy Components and activities designed to address identified climate risks (and costed) 1. 2. 3. Identified during the screening process Informed by the screening process Output of the screening process Screening helps deliver informed climate risk management From Climate Risk Screening to Improved Design
- 13. Sample Output – Water Tool
- 14. Project Document Project Team Short- and long-term climate and disaster risks? Where risks exist, propose potential resilience measures Reflect decisions in project design Post-Screening Process Conduct more detailed risk assessment as needed/Or identify further opportunities to integrate resilience measures during project preparation Final Project Document
- 15. Additional Source of Information for Climate Risk Screening Disaster Data • Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) (CRED) • Global Risk Data Platform (UNEP, UNISDR) • Sea Level Change Data Analysis Tool (NASA) • Global Forecast Drought Tool (WB, IRI) Climate Data • Climate Change Knowledge Portal (WBG) • Climate for Sectors Dashboard (CCKP) National Policies & Strategies • National Communications to the UNFCCC • Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Country-Level Analysis • Climate Risk and Adaptation Country Profiles (WBG) • Disaster Risk Profiles (GFDRR) • Think Hazard (WBG, GFDRR) • Disaster Risk Reduction Country Page (UNISDR)
- 16. Progress On Institutionalization And Mainstreaming Of Climate Actions 16 The 3 NDC focal points institutions contribution; • Hosting and build capacity on the use of the screening tools MWE/CCD • Climate Change Budgeting Tagging (adjustment of the PBS to include a climate code) MoFPED • Sector and Local Government Planning Guidelines and issuance of certificates of compliance ( NPA)
- 17. Success recorded to date under CDRS 17 • So far online and offline CDRS tools have been customized for 5 pilot sectors (i.e. Agriculture, Energy, Transport, Water and Environment)ipality) • Climate Risk and Adaptation Country Profile • Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP) • Capacity Building and Roll out plan • Trained 62 ToTs from different Institutions (CCD, MoEMD, NPA, MAAIF, MoFPED CSO and 3 LGs). Training of ToTs is ongoing. • CCD, a web page prototype of the CDRS tools is being designed and will be hosted on CCD web site.

Screening tools hyper-linked to CCKP to country dashboards o Current trends and future projections o Key sectors – agriculture, water, health, energy o Geospatially referenced climate indicators and variables Climate information, data and derivatives https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/country /uganda Source: CCKP WB
- 19. Mainstreaming Climate Change into National Budget • As part of the NDC objective on strengthening national climate change financing mechanism for public and private sectors, MoFPED is undertaking climate change budgeting and expenditure tracking (CCBT) as part of the Progamme Budgeting System (PBS). • CCBT will: (i) identify, classify and track climate change and/or green growth related appropriations in Uganda’s National Budget. (ii) evaluate and use results to inform decision-makers about the performance of climate appropriations
- 20. Institutionalization and Mainstreaming of Climate Action into National Budget • MoFPED and the NPA have integrated Climate and Disaster Risk Screening and Climate Change Budget Tagging in the planning call circular. • The MoFPED has provided for CCBT roll out in the Budget Call Circular for the Budget FY 2020/21. • The MoFPED has initiated reforms in the PBS to accommodate climate budget tagging.
- 21. Next steps under CCBT are: • Completion of the adjustments in the PBS system • Capacity Building for all Climate Change Committees or Task Forces and planners for all Central Government Sectors, • Integration of climate screening activities for the sector (MDA) budgets into the PBS sector at the MDA and sectoral level and submission as part of the Budget Framework Papers and Ministerial Policy Statements. • Review of reports on climate financing, and appropriate use for future budgeting, and for policy and planning on climate finance, including mobilizing additional funds for implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation actions.
