- 7. Step 1: Climate drivers Understanding the earth climate system and its drivers Step 2: Hazards Understanding how climate services are generated and applied for adaptation planning Step 3: Impacts, exposure, vulnerability and risks Understanding/identifying climate impacts, exposure, vulnerability and risks. Understanding how risks are derived from hazard, exposure and vulnerability Step 4: Problem identification and analysis Defining core problem based on climate rationale as a starting point for project design Step 5:Transformation of problem to project objectives Reversing negative statements from the problem analysis into projects objectives and desired effects Step 6: Creation of theory of change Creating theory of change tree to lay out a detailed strategy to achieve expected results Step 7: Development of Logical Framework from theory of change Translating the theory of change tree into projects’ goals, outcomes, outputs and activities Step 8: Concept note development Understanding how a proposed design fit into GCF Project idea/concept Steps to enhance the climate rationale of GCF supported activities (building from document GCF/B.21/Inf.08) Establishingtheclimate case Developinginterventions Adaptation 2a) Climate impacts the project/programme aims to address 2b)Vulnerabilities, exposure and hazards resulting in risks 3) Selected interventions based on options analysis 4) Integration to broader domestic and international policy and decision-making processes Climate Science Basis 1) Scientific underpinning for evidence-based climate action
Editor's Notes
- #3: 2 points to focus on: Dramatic increase in number of approvals during 2018 % of support to LDCs, SIDs, and African States Endorsed = final stage of approval
- #9: We ensure a high “quality” of all approved adaptation planning proposals, and the articulation of a “quality” adaptation planning proposal to the GCF is very clear. If a proposal is submitted meeting all these review criteria and good practices, it will be approved quickly. If the proposal does not meet these, NDAs will receive constructive feedback to meet them. The proposal will not be approved until all are met. We are doing this to be clear, transparent and consistent in what we are looking for and the feedback support we are providing to countries for adaptation planning.
