A. The challengesEffects that are avoidable (Mitigation) and those, that are not avoidable anymore (Adaptation and DRR)
Some Effects of Climate Change have become unavoidable – the more and the sooner we invest in the mitigation of Climate Change, the cheaper adaptation measures will be in the future

A. The ChallengesDonor Coordination
OECD Guidance on Integrating CC Adaptation into DC
May 2009: Approval of Guidance on Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into Development Cooperation elaborated by EPOC/DAC joint Task team, co-chaired by Switzerland and Netherlands
Intended for policy makers and practitioners 4 levels of decision making: national, sector,
project, local 4 step approach:
• Step 1: Identify vulnerabilities
• Step 2: Identify adaptation options
• Step 3: Select feasible adaptation options
• Step 4: Evaluate success of adaptation
SDC’s referential framework for Integrating climate change mitigation and adaptation approaches into development cooperation
OECD Policy Guidance on the Integration of Climate Change Adaptation into Development Co-operation (approved in 2009) based on principles of Paris Declaration
SDC Guidelines on Disaster Risk Reduction (approved in 2007)

Disaster RiskReduction DRR
Reducing risks from rapid- and slow-onset disasters e.g. floods, droughts, landslides, avalanches,earthquakes, etc.
No link to CCA:Developing earthquake-proof infrastructure
Coping with climate-induced disaster risks
e.g. Developingearly warning systems for
flood or drought events
Weak link to DRR: developing climate resistant
crop varieties
Climate Change
Adaptation CCA
Adapting to long-term effects of climate change
e.g. more humid/drier cond., frequency of extreme events,
vanishing permafrost, etc.

In all regions: many climate-related risks prevail, e.g. flood / flash-flood, drought, storm, landslide/mudflow, snow avalanche, cold wave
A. The challenges Climate and DRR check & SDC DRR activities
Vulnerability: • characteristics of a community or a system or asset that render it susceptible to
the damaging effects of a hazard• determined by physical, social, institutional, economic and environmental factors
or processes, which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards
Risk: probability of harmful consequences of interactions between hazards and vulnerable conditions
Maladaptation: Business-as-usual development increases exposure to risks and hazards and/or vulnerability
Adaptive capacity & Coping capacity: The ability of people, organisations and systems to use available skills and resources to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters
Whereas adaptation implies adjustments to changing conditions and is often long-term with the aim of maintaining the standard of living
the term coping capacity is often short-term and linked to the ability to cope with the immediate impacts of a hazardous or extreme event.

A. The ChallengesMilestones in the creation and promotion of the Climate and DRR Check
B. What is the Climate and DRR Check?The Handbook
Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction into SDC procedures (OECD Guidelines) Integration /Mainstreaming
Objective:
1. Integrating Climate Change and Disaster Risk related issues into Development Cooperation (handbook for targeted activities)
2. Support of SDC staff and project partners in analysis of planned cooperation strategies, programmes and projects
The Handbook
Self explanatory
Hands-on guidance
13
B. What is the Handbook - SDC features of the handbookMost important in a nutshell
Developed to match needs of SDC by INFRAS, GPCC, CCE & DRR networks
Flexible and modular• Rough Climate and DRR Screening (Module 1)• Climate and DRR detailed assessment (Module 2) strategic and project level
Climate Change Adaptation, Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Mitigation adressed jointly
Integrated in SDC procedures
Recommendation to use the “Screening“ module for all activities (as early as possible) to decide whether a “Detailed Assessment“ at the stage of the elaboration of a Project Document and Credit proposal is necessary
Possible integration in
a) compulsory Risk Assessment and
b) Logframe

Burkina Faso project level
Hazards:Floods, Droughts, High winds, Storms, Extreme temperatures, Bushfires, Extreme rainfall variations, Rodent, cricket and other insects plague
Key sectors affected in the Rural Development programme: Agriculture, water sector, infrastructure
Measures/adjustments in order of validation (feasability, effectiveness, cost, sustainability):
1. Anti-erosion measures (reinforcement of dykes, windbreakers, hedges, reforestation)2. Hay harvesting and storage (construction of storage facilities)3. Agro-hydrological advice (integrated water management, rainwater collection, irrigation
system, emergency alert system, market information system)4. Diversification and intensification of food production (new resistent crop varieties, new
agricultural techniques, fire-wall building)5. Community organisation (local water community, capacity building, spatial planning,
knowledge sharing, communication improvement measures, remote sensing monitoring, research development, synergies between producers and researchers, dialogue between local governments and producers‘ organisations support to vulnerable producers, crop insurances, community seed bank)
D. Results for assessed programs and projects in Burkina Faso
Proposed outcome indicators for project level
General Increase in food production Decrease in production fluctuation Increase in food security Increase in rural income Decrease in rural flight Diversification of meals composition Number of beneficiaires aware of CC impacts
Anti-erosion measures Land surface protected Number of plants produced and planted Number of plant nurseries developed Number of horticulturists trained Length of consolidated dykes
Hay harvesting and storage
Number of beneficiaries trained in hay harvesting and storage techniques
Quantity of hay stored Number of barns built Number of hay producers Increase in milk and meat production
and productivity Increase in food security

parts and modules considered useful
useful suggestions for the improvement of both handbook and its application and promotion.
30
E. Results of the Online DialogueConclusions
Offer and use simple information & communication material (such as power points, flyers and narratives)
Offer targeted training for different kinds of users
Use concrete SDC partner countries stories, illustrations and maps on challenges and ongoing activities in
Promote the process workshops in the different divisions by doing SDC internal lobbying and convincing SDC managers and opinion leaders to do Climate and DRR Checks in the countries related to country strategies and specific programs
31
E. Results of the Online DialogueNext steps
For the 2st edition 2012: Improve the handbook as regards
didactic introduction and add examples and exemplaric solutions for
geographic regions SDC works in,
the description of targeted users & results,
improve certain parts of the screening list,
visual user guidance
the addition of modifiable standard terms of references in an annex,
• for people demanding a Climate and DRR Check at COOF level
• for people preparing thematic inputs
• for moderators/facilitators
add a sample of exemplary standard indicators for adaptation, DRR &
Mitigation
Allow for an update mechanisms of the handbook by processes like this online dialogue
