UNDP Quality Standards for the Integration of Adaptation to Climate
Change into Development Programming (CCA QS)
|
|
Description
|
UNDP’s CCA QS provides a comprehensive yet concise and structure framework to ensure that
climate change risks and opportunities are adequately addressed in its development practice.
The guidance presents a framework for best practices to facilitate a successful incorporation of
climate change adaptation concerns in development programs and projects.
The guidance is useful to:
- Assist UNDP staff in the identification of climate change risks and opportunities relevant to
existing programmes and projects;
- Integrate adaptation into new programmes and projects.
Project/programme planners and implementers are guided in the assessment of four ’quality
standards’:
- Identification of climate change risks to programmes and projects;
- Identification of risks that a programme or project will result in mal-adaptation;
- Identification of adaptation opportunities;
- Identification and assessment of potential adaptation measures.
A set of questions guides the user in meeting each quality standard requirement, providing a robust
guidance on the actions necessary to a comprehensive adaptation strategy. The guidance is
presently being piloted in 5 countries in Latin America and Africa. Lessons learned from the
project will contribute to a revised version.
