2 Background GEF enabling project –climate change focal area Geographic scope: Global Implementing Agency: UNEP Executing Agencies: START & TWAS Collaboration between IPCC, UNEP, START, TWAS and developing country institutions

3 Sources of Funding Global Environment Facility Developing countrypartner co-financing USAID CIDA USEPA Rockefeller Foundation

4 AIACC Objectives Build scientific and technical capacity to support National Communications and developing country participation in int’l science Advance scientific understanding of climate change impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptation opportunities Link science and policy communities for adaptation planning

5 Means for achieving objectives Implement regional V&A assessments –“Learning-By-Doing” capacity building Supplement by technical support, mentoring, training, and networking Engage stakeholders Work with National Communications Synthesis Workshops, publications, science & stakeholder meetings
