Financer les processus de plans nationaux d’adaptation (PNA) : Favoriser l’atteinte des objectifs d’adaptation des contributions déterminées au niveau national (CDN)
Summary
The document outlines a strategic framework for financing National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes, distinguishing between the 'elaboration phase' (planning and coordination) and the 'execution phase' (implementation of priority measures). It identifies four primary funding streams: domestic public revenues, bilateral providers, multilateral funds, and the private sector. While elaboration is typically funded by public and bilateral grants, the more costly execution phase requires a diversified mix of public and private capital. The brief recommends that countries develop a dedicated NAP financing strategy that identifies funding gaps, determines appropriate financial instruments, and defines operational steps to improve access to resources.
Key insights
- The NAP process is divided into two distinct financial phases: the elaboration phase, covering initiation and coordination, and the execution phase, which involves the actual implementation of priority adaptation measures. The execution phase requires significantly higher funding than the elaboration phase.
- Domestic public funding is essential for the sustainable maintenance of the NAP process, particularly for operational costs and public goods like institutional capacity building. It can be accessed through annual budgets or Medium-Term Expenditure Frameworks (MTEF).
- Governments can use fiscal instruments to generate new revenue or redistribute existing funds for adaptation. Examples include carbon taxes, 'diaspora bonds', debt-for-climate swaps, and the reform of fossil fuel subsidies.
- Bilateral providers are a flexible source of funding, often providing grant-based technical assistance for the elaboration phase and a wider range of instruments (including loans and budget support) for the execution phase.
- Multilateral funds, including those under the UNFCCC, provide critical support. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a major source, offering a Readiness Programme for elaboration (up to US$3 million for formulation and US$1 million for institutional capacity) and funding for the execution of priority measures.
- Other specialized multilateral sources include the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF), both managed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the Adaptation Fund (AF), which has a funding ceiling of US$10 million per eligible country.
- Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) primarily fund the execution phase through loans, focusing on large-scale infrastructure in sectors such as water, energy, transport, and food production.
- Private sector investment is almost exclusively relevant to the execution phase. Governments can mobilize this by improving the general investment climate and creating specific 'business cases' for adaptation to reduce perceived risks.
- Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are identified as a viable tool for large-scale execution projects, such as resilient infrastructure and natural resource management, though they require high institutional capacity to manage complex contracts.
- A robust NAP financing strategy should consist of three core elements: identifying the funding gap (comparing total estimated costs against available resources), determining financing options (matching needs to instruments), and identifying operational next steps (such as capacity building or proposal preparation).
