EG.11 Adaptation

The goal of climate adaptation programming is to enhance resilience and reduce the vulnerability of people, places, systems, and livelihoods to actual or expected impacts of climate change, including through improved use of information, planning, and action.

This indicator includes finance mobilized (or leveraged), enabled by USG assistance, for actions, activities, projects or programs that support adaptation to the effects of climate variability and change.

Finance may be mobilized from the public sector (e.g. other governments or public multilateral entities) or private sector (e.g.

corporate investments) and should help to advance the objectives established by the USG-supported program. USG funding should not be counted under this indicator.

Mobilized finance reported under this indicator should be disaggregated as domestic or international. Domestic finance is investment which originated within the country in which it is implemented (e.g. national government funds to support implementation of a project within that country) and international finance is cross-border finance (e.g. a private company based in one country contributing funds for a project in a different country).

Finance mobilized may be reported under this indicator at financial closure. Financial closure is when the contract or agreement is signed by all relevant parties.

Finance can be mobilized through a variety of instruments and vehicles, including common funding instruments, parallel investments, or in-kind support. Examples of the types of U.S. assistance that could mobilize finance include:

Investments made possible by finance interventions, such as:

• Grants (or in-kind support) for technical assistance

• Loans

• Equity or investment shares

• Support for development and structuring of other financial instruments such as Green Bonds or Real Estate Investment Trusts

• Political, regulatory, or credit risk insurance and guarantees

Investments made possible by policy interventions and technical assistance interventions, such as:

• Market assessments, financier credit product development, project incubation and preparation

• Support for developing land-use planning policies, building and permitting codes, or procurement policies that increase the climate resilience of investments

• Fiscal policy support to develop preferential tax treatment for climate-friendly technologies and related taxes

• Information or data-based interventions such as the provision or training in the use of satellite, geospatial, or meteorological data and systems that facilitate climate-smart investment and policies; setting up technology centers of excellence mapping of flood-plain or other climate-relevant risks

• Technical assistance and support provided to secure funding for climate adaptation activities from either multilateral funds, public forestry incentive programs, or private funds such as those from carbon markets (noting that any funding mobilized for adaptation activities that also provide mitigation (SL or CE) co-benefits must be prorated to avoid potential double counting across the climate finance indicators).

Examples of what mobilized funds may support include improving the enabling environment for adaptation actions, funding the costs of climate change activities advanced by the program, monitoring climate change outcomes; or sensitizing stakeholders to climate risks and opportunities addressed through the program.

The mobilization of additional financial resources can help catalyze resources needed for transformational change and contribute to long-term sustainability and progress toward adaptation goals.

As appropriate, aggregated mobilization data can be used to assess the impact of foreign assistance for both domestic and international audiences as well as for the basis of tracking progress to international commitments and goals.

To report observed mobilization, project implementers will gather data about the amount of finance mobilized in the past fiscal year and report through standard reporting procedures.

Documentation should include a rationale for how U.S. support has facilitated the mobilization of reported resources and include information such as: methodology used to assess mobilization, source of funds by project name, the type of project and financial instrument, and use of funds.

Justification

Definition ‘Support’ is defined as assistance from the project or activity, with the intention of helping people adapt to climate change. Support encompasses financial resources, assets, infrastructure, agricultural inputs, training, communications (e.g., early warning systems, extension support to respond to early warning such as drought tolerant seeds) or information (e.g., weather forecasting). People reported under this indicator may also be reported under other standard indicators, as appropriate. Reporting under this indicator requires the effects of climate change to be recognized and targeted by the project or activity.

‘People supported’ relates to populations with a clear relationship to an adaptation project or activity. If the data collected is by household then this figure should be converted into the number of people (see Data calculation section below).

‘Effects of climate change’ are defined here as the effects of increasing climate variability and climate change.

This may include, for example, changes in precipitation, temperature and sea level rise. Effects may occur suddenly or gradually, and can include floods, droughts, storms, landslides, salinization, coastal inundation, sea level rise, desertification, heat or cold waves and biodiversity loss, among other effects.

This indicator seeks to measure the number of people who have received support as a proxy for preparing and equipping them, but does not seek to determine whether this support reduced the impacts of climate change on the reported population. These outcomes will be sought through other methods, where possible.

Varying levels of support may count under this indicator. Targeted support where individual people or households are identified and aware they are receiving support in some form should be included. Reporting should include people receiving high levels of individualized support (including, but not limited to agricultural extension services and training of individuals in communities to develop emergency plans) as well as people receiving medium levels of support (including, but not limited to people receiving information services such as a flood warning or weather forecast by text, people within catchment area of structural flood defenses, or people living in a community where other members have been trained in emergency flood response).

Additional examples of the types of support under this indicator include (but are not limited to):

? Farmers receiving extension services such as improved or drought tolerant seeds, and support to implement climate smart practices, among others;

? People receiving financial support through, for example, forestry incentive programs to safeguard upstream watersheds;

? People receiving know-how and resources in support of improved water or natural resources management;

? People benefiting from climate resilient education systems that: ensure learning and continuity under a changing climate, or include curriculums that incorporate climate adaptation related learning objectives.

People who receive low intensity support such as people falling within an administrative area of an institution (e.g.

Ministry or local authority) receiving capacity building support, people within a catchment area of a river basin subject to a water resources management plan, or the entire population of a country with a strengthened weather or climate monitoring or forecasting system should not be included under this indicator.

Sex: Reporting disaggregated by sex (male, female) is mandatory. This may be estimated using the best available data on the composition of sex for the relevant population.

Data calculation: Both household and individual data can be utilized to report results under this indicator. Data on household size should be determined from the most recent census data or from a representative household survey. If data is collected at the household level, implementers will need to multiply the number of households by the average household size to calculate the number of people reported under this indicator.

For USAID Activities:

The narrative accompanying the indicator should indicate the climate change vulnerability(ies) being addressed or necessary capacities being built by the intervention, and how the support provided reduces the identified vulnerability(ies) and/or capacities.

Long Term Linkages

The individuals reported under this indicator are better equipped to adapt to climate change and will be more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

Use Of Indicator

USG programs utilize this indicator to track progress in climate change adaptation.

Data Source Data will be collected by implementing partners with knowledge of their specific activities and programs.

Implementers may utilize a variety of acceptable methodological approaches including surveys or direct observation of a representative sample of beneficiaries.

Justification Definition Climate information is important in the identification, assessment, and management of climate risks to improve resilience. Climate information may include, but is not limited to:

(1) data such as monitored weather or climate projections (e.g., anticipated temperature, precipitation and sea level rise under future scenarios), and

(2) the outputs of climate impact assessments, for example, the consequences of increased temperatures on crops, changes in stream flow due to precipitation shifts, or the number of people likely to be affected by future storm surges.

Any adjustment or new approach to the management of resources or implementation of actions that responds to climate change risks and increases resilience should be considered under this indicator.

Using climate information or implementing risk-reducing practices does not always involve expenditure of funds.

For instance, a farmer may choose to harvest a crop earlier or plant a different crop due to a climate-related forecast.

Climate information can serve a variety of sectors such as agriculture, livestock, health, or natural resource or urban management. Using climate information may include, but is not limited to, conducting vulnerability assessments, creating plans or strategies for adaptation or resilience based on projected climate impacts, or selecting risk-reducing or resilience-improving actions to implement.

Examples of risk-reducing actions may include, but are not limited to:

• In the agriculture sector, actions may include changing the exposure or sensitivity of crops, better soil management, changing grazing practices, applying new technologies like improved seeds or irrigation methods, diversifying into different income-generating activities, using crops that are less susceptible to drought, salt and variability, or any other practices or actions that aim to increase predictability or productivity of agriculture under anticipated climate variability and change.

• In the water sector, actions may aim to improve water quality, supply, and efficient use under anticipated climate variability and change.

• In the health sector, actions may aim to prevent or control disease incidence and outcomes under anticipated climate variability and change outcomes.

• In Disaster Risk Reduction, actions may aim to reduce the negative impacts of extreme events associated with climate variability and change.

• In urban areas, actions may aim to improve the resilience of urban areas, populations, and infrastructure under anticipated climate variability and change.

Reporting under this indicator is not limited to the above sectors. Any individuals using climate information or implementing actions that respond to climate change risks and increase resilience with USG support should be considered under this indicator.

Long Term Linkages

This indicator measures individuals using climate information and implementing risk-reducing actions. Individuals taking these actions will be more resilient to the effects of climate change and better able to adapt.

Use Of Indicator

USG programs utilize this indicator to track progress in climate change adaptation.

Data Source Data will be collected by implementing partners with knowledge of their specific activities and programs.

Implementers may utilize a variety of acceptable methodological approaches including surveys or direct observation of a representative sample of targeted beneficiaries.

For USAID Activities:

The narrative accompanying the indicator should indicate the climate change vulnerability(ies) being addressed by the intervention, and how implementing the risk-reducing practice/action or using climate information in decision-making reduces the identified vulnerability(ies).
