3. 12/06/2014 Seite 3 Page 3 Rationale Objective Comprehensive strategic approach to capacities needed for action on adaptation Importance Prepare effective implementation: Skilled experts, as well as appropriate institutional structures and processes, are necessary for systematic and strategic action on climate change adaptation. Foster institutional learning and adaptive management: Gathering experience is critical for long-term success Application especially as part of planning, should be ongoing

4. 12/06/2014 Seite 4 Page 4 Institutional Capacity Development for adaptation: some definitions Institutions: Systems of rules, decision-making procedures, and programs that give rise to social practices; they assign roles to participants and guide interaction (IHDP) Capacity Development: Develop capacities to manage resources efficiently in order to achieve desired results in a sustainable manner Capacity Development for adaptation: Capacities that enable countries/communities to (1) undertake adaptation measures and (2) continue adapt on an ongoing basis

PlanningAssign special importance to particular issues, areas, sectors, or populations over various time horizons to allow for prioritized strategic interventions. CoordinationCoordinate the actions of various actors at multiple levels for participation and to avoid duplication or gaps, create economies of scale in responding to challenges.

Develop and disseminate information in a way to ensures that it is useful and accessible to stakeholders. Implementation: climate risk reduction Prioritise risks, evaluate options for addressing the risks, and finance and implement risk reduction measures.

Exhibits Box on the National Adaptive Capacity Framework

17. 12/06/2014 Seite 17 Page 17 Exercise (2) Your task In Matrix 12 Column B lists what the SWA is already doing to carry out key functions for managing water in the state In column C, brainstorm recommendations: Which additional or differently shaped short-/medium-term activities are needed to integrate adaptation into SWAs work? In column D consider which capacity development activities are needed to implement the new activities In column E, brainstorm what activities are needed to improve water management under climate change in the long-run
