Super typhoons, higher rainfall and rising temperatures- 气候变化的所有症状 - 在菲律宾造成了严重破坏,带来了必威官网是真的吗增加的洪水,水稻产量的降低,甚至生活损失,同时阻碍了贫困社区的发展努力。为了解决这些挑战,预计将在未来几年加剧,对气候变化的适应必须是国家政府的优先事项。必威官网是真的吗

这可能是一个昂贵的优先事项。根据2009年至2013年,菲律宾从捐助者那里获得了超过4.3亿美元的气候适应资金,并在2013年获得了额外的6.14亿美元自己的钱。必威官网是真的吗世界银行. As other countries seek to adapt to rising seas, more severe storms and other changes, countries will spend an increasing amount of funding on adaptation. But the question is: are these funds really reaching the most vulnerable?

To answer this question, Oxfam and WRI launchedguidelinesto help civil society organizations track climate change adaptation finance to determine whether it is reaching the communities most vulnerable to climate change. The guidelines are based on the work of the Adaptation Finance Accountability Initiative (AFAI), which brings together乐施会,ODI,wri,清洁能源尼泊尔, theInstitute for Climate and Sustainable Cities(iCSC) in the Philippines,Climate Action Network Uganda和the Zambia Climate Change Network in an effort to make adaptation finance more accountable and transparent.

The new publication aims to guide civil society groups to:

  • 帮助弱势社区意识到他们寻求支持气候适应的权利必威官网是真的吗
  • Teach communities and citizens about adaptation activities and climate adaptation finance
  • Press the government to improve its efforts to address climate change
  • Hold donors and governments accountable for their use of climate adaptation funds
  • 支持政府机构,特别是那些有监督职能的机构,以执行支持气候适应工作的任务必威官网是真的吗

该指南提供了基本的背景信息,并描述了跟踪适应融资的五步过程:

  1. Analyze the national climate change adaptation context
  2. Compile and analyze international climate adaptation finance flows
  3. 地图气候必威官网是真的吗适应资金流
  4. Set tracking objectives and select climate adaptation funds for detailed national tracking
  5. Design tailored tools for local climate adaptation finance tracking

More Transparent and Accountable

The AFAI partners used this approach to encourage greater transparency and accountability of climate adaptation finance. In the Philippines, for example, the Congress was unaware that in 2010, $175 million in international adaptation funding had flowed into the country. The AFAI project demonstrated that Congress needed better oversight of climate adaptation funds, and in 2014, the Philippines House of Representatives responded to this by creating the Oversight Committee on Climate Change to monitor climate change interventions, programs and budgets.

通过该委员会,正在将AFAI的原则介绍给旨在将气候融资融入预算过程的立法者。必威官网是真的吗多亏了监督委员会,在民间社会组织的支持下,众议院将获得更好的信息,以了解适应金融是否真正到达弱势社区。

Beyond the Philippines, other countries are struggling to ensure that funding reaches those who need it most. For instance,清洁能源尼泊尔, an AFAI partner,发现喜马拉雅国家从2009年至2012年获得了国际公共资源的适应性,获得了5.3824亿美元。为了提高对地方一级适应融资的认识,并提倡提高透明度,AFAI合作伙伴组织了一次公众讨论,以使社区成员团结起来,以聆听他们的聆听他们的聆听困扰。

达到最脆弱的人

“Climate change adaptation projects in our village are yet to reach the most vulnerable communities affected by changing climate,”尼泊尔女人说。“我们如何解决需要填补的空白?”尼泊尔的经验有助于制作工具包,并将为尼泊尔的民间社会组织提供指导,以继续努力将透明度和问责制带到国家一级。

Civil society organizations are just beginning to track adaptation finance to ensure the accountable use of donor and government funding. This process will strengthen countries’ abilities to target and spend climate adaptation finance effectively. The guidelines are a first step toward building this capacity.
