Kenya Vision 2030: Integrating Climate Change Adaptation

Integrating climate change adaptation measures into Kenya's Vision 2030 national development projects

In cooperation with the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) and the Vision 2030 Secretariat, The INTASAVE Partnership aims to mainstream and systematically integrate climate change adaptation measures in to national development projects, thereby promoting sustainable development in Kenya.

Specifically the project aims to:

• Foster a common acceptance and understanding of climate change and adaptation measures among key decision makers; building their capacity to identify specific interventions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the implementation of Vision  2030 development projects;


• Provide a platform for knowledge sharing on local and practical climate change adaptation initiatives within the Vision 2030 framework; and


•  Provide mentoring support to stakeholders who are integrating climate change into national development projects.

Duration: 5 Years, from January 2014 to December 2018 

Project Context & Background

Vision 2030 is Kenya’s blueprint development document. Under Vision 2030, Kenya aims to become a middle-income, rapidly industrializing country by 2030, offering all its citizens a high quality of life.  According to a 2013 progress report, climate change was cited as a major challenge in implementing development projects under Vision 2030.

Education and awareness efforts on climate change in Kenya only started two decades ago and were primarily directed towards the preparation of initial National Communications required for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with the main donor being UNEP/GEF. The participants included top-level policy makers from line ministries. According to a UNEP report, this model of targeting key decision makers is seen as commendable and they encouraged similar measures for future projects, including the involvement of the media by inviting journalists to public awareness workshops and urging them to publish feature articles in national and regional newspapers.

In an effort to mainstream climate change mitigation and adaptation issues, the Vision 2030 secretariat engaged an environmental advisory team to operate both at multiple levels and to contribute to sectoral policies, plans and programmes.  Our project will build on existing structures that have been established by this advisory team and work through the various Climate Change Units (CCU) within government, research and development agencies, while ensuring a close link with the National Climate Change Action Plan implementing agencies.

Integrating Adaptation into Low Carbon Development Plans

Building low carbon and climate resilient economies is a means by which nations can reduce poverty and achieve economic sustainability.

Feeding into WWF’s Global Climate and Energy Initiative (GCEI), this study on integrating adaptation and climate resilience into low carbon development policies will serve as a resource for governments on how to develop climate change resilient national development plans. The study will synthesize the lessons learned from government-led initiatives in countries such as the Philippines, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, Nepal and South Africa and will contribute analyses and options for integrating adaptation measures into low carbon frameworks.  It will also identify opportunities and best practices on how to build synergies between mitigation and adaptation initiatives within countries in order to ensure that low carbon frameworks are also climate resilient.

The final report will inform discussions at an international level:

• firstly, by serving as an input to negotiations on adaptation under the UNFCCC with the aim of informing discussions on how international frameworks could support the development of effective climate resilient low carbon national development plans; and


• secondly, by presenting opportunities for South-South and North-South partnerships to enable support for the development of these frameworks.

MSMEs: Building Climate Resilience (CCCCE-ARK)

[vc_row el_position="first"] [vc_column] [vc_column_text el_position="first"]

For many people living in the Caribbean, the difference is already being felt: climate change and a host of other factors have led to unpredictable weather and the loss or degradation of natural resources, like coastal erosion.  Whether they make their living from the sea, farming, tourism or crafts, residents in coastal communities want to know and understand more about these changes because they affect their lives and livelihoods.

The big question for them is what they can do about it?

The Climate Change, Coastal Community Enterprises, Adaptation, Resilience and Knowledge (CCCCE-ARK – pronounced “sea-ark”) project, is a two-and-a-half-year initiative to help people who operate small-scale businesses tackle the storms of climate change and make their businesses more economically viable and sustainable over time. It involves finding ways to deal with the challenges they face, for example water scarcity, drought, flooding and coastal erosion from storm surge and sea level rise.

Small businesses play a vital role in Caribbean coastal communities and their local economies, providing about 90 percent of all jobs and accounting for roughly 70 percent of the overall economy. They are also some of the most vulnerable to both environmental and economic impacts  – their reliance on natural resources combined with their limited financial means (amongst others), makes it that much harder for them to change their  operations, relocate or rebuild when disaster strikes.

The CCCCE-ARK project will benefit about 1,200 low-income residents and 50 micro- to medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) across eight coastal communities in Jamaica, Belize, Barbados, and the Bahamas. Its goal is to develop adaptation plans for the community as whole, and also for the 50 enterprises participating in the project. Half of these businesses will receive funding and targeted training to put their adaptation strategies into commercial practice. Participants will be selected based on their interest, capacity to learn and ability to influence others in the community.

Best practices will be shared from community to community, and country to country through several exchanges. For example, Bahamian fishermen, who have already well-established sustainable fishing practices designed to counter coral bleaching, will travel to Barbados to share their experience with fishermen there. Conditions will vary from business to business and place to place but the underlying holistic approach promises benefits for the wider MSME community.

This project is just the start of what is hoped will be a broader venture showing other communities and businesses throughout the region how the model can be expanded and applied to their situation.  Case studies and videos of the lessons learned from the process will be made available so that others too, can find a way to adapt their businesses to thrive in the future – despite a changing climate.

The project is the first climate change adaptation project being funded by the Multilateral Investment Facility of the Inter-American Development Bank.

The Climate Change, Coastal Community Enterprises, Adaptation, Resilience and Knowledge project, or CCCCE-ARK, is a two and a half year-long initiative being funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the purpose of the project is to ensure that 50 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across 8 coastal communities in Jamaica, Belize, Barbados, and the Bahamas are more resilient to changes in climate. More specifically, it is anticipated that 1,200 low income individuals will benefit from capacity building workshops on climate change and adaptation, and 50 MSMEs including fishermen, tourism operators, and craftsmen will receive training in climate change adaptation. 25 MSMEs will receive additional training to incorporate climate change into their business plans, and funding to launch initiatives. The indirect beneficiaries will be: 3,000 low-income individuals, family members and friends of project participants, who will indirectly gain knowledge about potential climate change impacts, business adaptation alternatives, and potential alternative income-generating activities.

The project consists of four primary components: (1) the development of Community Adaptation Plans; (2) implementation of Community Adaptation Plans through training; (3) the development and implementation of detailed MSME Adaptation Plans; and (4) dissemination, monitoring, and evaluation of results. Along with the community and MSME adaptation plans, other project outputs will include an inventory of MSMEs and local stakeholders in coastal communities; climate change training of coastal MSMEs; creation of knowledge networks between selected coastal communities; funded and implemented MSME adaptation strategies; and knowledge products, including video, radio, and written case studies.

This project will demonstrate a model that can be continued and expanded after project completion. The knowledge and learning products generated, such as videos, audio and reports will summarise the lessons learned from this early MSME adaptation project. At the end of the project, beneficiary coastal communities and MSMEs will understand the risks presented by changing climate, allowing them to have developed appropriate adaptation and response strategies for their homes and businesses, and to share lessons with each other and other non-target vulnerable coastal communities.

Loss & Damage from Slow Onset Events in SIDS

The changes may be gradual but the dangers are potent and real. Sea level rise, higher temperatures, ocean acidification, desertification and salinity, all associated with climate change, take a long time to appear but deserve immediate attention.

There is much that can be done to minimise these “slow onset” events but for many small island developing states the solutions are out of reach – their already limited resources are focused on defending their economies and communities from the damage of extreme weather events and responding to economic, environmental and social losses when they happen.

CARIBSAVE’s 2013 study “Assessing and Addressing Loss and Damage from Slow Onset Events in Small Island Developing States and Vulnerable Countries”, gives vulnerable countries an overview of the pragmatic and realistic responses they can make to slow onset events and the help that’s available to implement them. This project is funded by: the United Nations Development Programme, Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States.

Slow onset events are complex and interconnected, and can have a lasting impact across a population, from the way people earn a living to the best place to build an airport. The responses can range from drafting better building practices for more efficient water use and retrofitting hospitals for greater ventilation, to cultivating lower-impact food production.

There are many international mechanisms to help smaller countries cope with climate change but most don’t specifically address the longer-term phenomena. However, many of these schemes have elements that can be repurposed for adaptation to slow onset events. Funding and technical support is available under programmes like the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism and the Hyogo Framework for Action.

There are also ways that smaller island states can prepare now for inevitable losses in the future. In some cases, for example, it will be unfeasible to protect very low-lying and very small islands from sea level rise, so plans have to be put in place now to relocate people living in those areas. Countries can start preparing for those unavoidable losses by building up reserve funds or securing loans when interest rates are lower. Some form of insurance scheme specifically for slow onset events would also go a long way in preventing financial setbacks, as yet one does not exist.

It is clear that the benefits of avoiding slow onset losses outweigh the costs of repairing damage once it is done. For many small island developing states, action is required now, before the costs become prohibitive.

China and South-South Scoping Assessment for Adaptation, Learning andDevelopment (CASSALD)

Developing countries and small islands face huge challenges from global warming and climate change and few countries face greater impacts than China. All countries, particularly those in the developing world, can learn from the Asian giant’s experience and share each other's knowledge to assist one another.

INTASAVE’s goal with the China and South-South Scoping Assessment for Adaptation, Learning and Development project, or CASSALD, is to identify where and how 10 developing countries in three regions can use China’s knowledge of adaptation in their own communities. It also sets out how resources in China can best be channeled to those countries to make a difference and how South-South countries can help each other with adaptation to climate change.

China’s history of lifting millions of people out of poverty gives it a high level of respect in development work. It has an important role to play in global development and has much to offer in terms of practical knowledge and technical expertise such as weather forecasting, disaster prediction, sustainable agriculture and water conservation. It is also a growing source of conservation technology and training.

INTASAVE’s partner and donor in the project is Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC), an innovative research initiative that links climate research with policy and development at the highest levels.

Partnerships of this kind are essential if developing countries and their people are to flourish in an ever-changing natural environment. No one country has the resources to stand alone and no one nation is an island from the others’ actions. International exchanges can also steer partners clear of strategies that haven’t worked, conserving scarce resources and saving valuable time.

Over the life of this initial project, INTASAVE identified priority countries for exchanges and the ties between development and adaptation. It mapped out ways each partner could plug gaps in knowledge and analysed their relationship with China, now and in the future. The research was undertaken in Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Grenada and Jamaica, spanning sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean.

The end result was a 12-point list of recommendations in which international development agencies could promote cooperation between China and the global South. Underpinning all recommendations is the need for every project to be driven by verifiable demand and with a long-term outlook and perspective.

OVERVIEW

The overarching aim of Phase 1 of the China and South-South Scoping Assessment for Learning and Development initiative is to identify key opportunities and avenues for South-South learning and climate compatible development and how to best channel resources to share China's and developing countries' experiences of integrating climate adaptation into the development process. This project is being implemented in ten (10) countries across three regions including Africa (Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda); Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia) and the Caribbean (Grenada, Jamaica). Final outputs from Phase 1, including the Full Report and Country Reports follow details on the project below.

BACKGROUND

The project Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) is an innovative policy research initiative focusing on linking climate change research with policy making and development. ACCC started in June 2009 as a collaboration between UK, China and Switzerland; it is funded by DFID China, the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation, DFID Research and the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC). ACCC is building on the results of a long standing collaboration between UK and China in the area of climate change adaptation. The main national institutional partner is the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) which is responsible for the formulation of Five Year National development plans and has also the mandate to coordinate climate change actions both in adaptation and mitigation.

CONTEXT

Climate change is a global problem with the need for collective action. Whilst the global element to action has traditionally been seen as emissions targets and mitigation ambition, how each country adapts to the impacts of climate change is also a trans-boundary issue. When done well, successfully replicating and learning from other’s adaptation experience can rapidly accelerate a country’s capacity to effectively adapt. Conversely, maladaptation poses the risk of aggravating tensions around resources and borders and can undermine a country’s mitigation efforts. For this reason, adaptation cannot remain a national issue and can be greatly enhanced by international sharing, particularly between developing countries who share similar challenges and contexts.

China has an important role to play in global development, climate resilience and South-South cooperation. Numerous Chinese ministries are working with developing countries on climate compatible development through adaptation strategies, science and technological advances across a range of sectors. During its 11th Five-Year Plan period, China established 121 assistance programmes for climate change implementation that provided capacity building to over 207,000 personnel. The 12th Five-Year Plan includes provisions to assist other developing countries even further to address climate change.

At COP 17, on 5 December 2011, Xie Zhenhua, NDRC Vice Minister and head of the Chinese delegation, announced 4 major areas of investment through South-South collaboration:

1. Adaptation: help developing countries that are most vulnerable to extreme weather to develop weather forecasting, disaster prediction capacity, and improved early-warning capacities;


2. Promotion of climate change adaptation technology, including sustainable agriculture assistance, and technology to help needy countries with drought resistance, water conservation, and biodiversity;


3. Dissemination and donation of technology in energy conservation, water conservation, and renewable energy to small island developing states and least developed countries;


4. Continuation of capacity building programs for developing countries that need it. In the next 3 years, China plans to continue to carry out a series of capacity building activities in climate change and train 1,000 officials in developing countries.

The project ‘China and South-South Scoping Assessment for Learning and Development’ (CASSALD) focuses on addressing climate adaptation needs and potential for south-south learning in 10 developing countries.

AIM

To identify key opportunities and avenues for South-South learning and climate compatible development and how to best channel resources to share China's and developing countries' experiences of integrating climate adaptation into the development process.

OBJECTIVES

1. Identify priority countries and regional and national partners in the 'south' regions


2. Identify how development and adaptation are linked in the selected countries


3. Establish a framework for a learning-centred approach across regions and countries for south-south learning and collaboration with China on climate compatible development


4. Identify and evaluate the 'gaps' and 'needs' of each country and region in relationship to their existing needs, practice and experience


5. Examine, analyse and report the regions' and countries existing relationships with China and their potential to work with China on climate compatible development


6. Establish and recommend how international development agencies (ACCC-DFID-China) can engage with these countries to best channel resources most effectively

Global Islands' Vulnerability Research, Adaptation, Policy andDevelopment (GIVRAPD) Project

[vc_row el_position="first"] [vc_column] [vc_column_text el_position="first"]

Farming has long been a mainstay of St Lucia’s economy but for one grower living in the hills of Soufrière there’s no telling how long it can be a source of income. Climate change is altering the environmental balance, tipping life on the land into even greater uncertainty.

“You don’t know when to plant and when to not plant. When you’re waiting for rain, you’re not getting rain. When you’re waiting for sun, you’re not getting sun,” the farmer says.

Townspeople are also still struggling with the fallout from environmental disasters years after severe storms have made their deadly sweeps through the region.

“For me, around here it’s not safe anymore. When it’s raining I leave. For me, it hasn’t stopped,” a survivor of 2010’s Hurricane Tomas says.

But the residents of Soufrière are not alone. Half a world away, islanders in communities across the Indian Ocean are facing similar environmental upheavals and working out ways to cope with them. Each community has much to learn from the others and GIVRAPD – the Global Islands’ Vulnerability Research Adaptation Policy Development research project – makes that sharing possible. GIVRAPD is a unique project that overcomes great physical distances to tie together the experience of four small island communities – two in the Caribbean (St Lucia and Jamaica) and two in the Indian Ocean (Mauritius and Seychelles).

It’s just one more way that INTASAVE is helping developing countries access resources and knowledge elsewhere in the global South.

Over two years, researchers will catalogue the vast range of socioeconomic, governance and environmental conditions that make island towns and villages particularly vulnerable to climate change. Through dozens of interviews with residents, the team will define the risks ahead and what stands in the way of adaptation. Whether its agriculture, fishing or tourism, researchers will look for the specific factors that determine whether those economies have a future.

The team will also chart the likely changes in the environment and, together with a cross-section of community representatives, map ways residents can continue to earn a living in the long term. The broader goal is to give townspeople the information they need to make their own decisions.

In addition, the team will investigate the viability of weather-related micro-insurance as a safeguard for low-income residents against disastrous losses.

The project, funded by the Climate Development Knowledge Network, is being led by INTASAVE in partnership with the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University. Contributions will also come from four other universities, including the University of Mauritius and the African Climate and Development Initiative based at the University of Cape Town.

The project is designed to utilize a common community-based vulnerability assessment (CBVA) framework to integrate scientific and local knowledge from comparative 'learning sites'. The aim is to understand the multi-scale socioeconomic, governance and environmental conditions that shape vulnerability and capacity to adapt to climate change within and between small and medium sized coastal communities. The objectives are to address key data and knowledge gaps, develop and evaluate practical local adaptation and climate compatible development (CCD) portfolios, facilitate the mainstreaming and scaling-up of adaptation and CCD, establish scientific and professional networks and build capacity. More information on the GIVRAPD project is available on the project website: givrapd.org.

Featured Project: Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership (C-FISH)

http://youtu.be/BK941BVYBxE

In the tropical waters of the Caribbean, a team of committed CARIBSAVE scientists, island residents and businesses are working together on ecosystem-based adaptation to fortify reefs and fisheries against multiple threats.

C-FISH stands for the Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership Initiative, and helps partners in five island states to manage and sustain more than a dozen marine reserves from the onslaught of overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and climate change.

It’s a four-year project started in 2012 to give coastal communities the finance, technology and know-how they require to manage their marine sanctuaries effectively and sustainably.

It’s up and running in Jamaica and Grenada, with plans to expand to St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia and Dominica over the next three years, as opportunities arise.

The economies of Caribbean Islands rest on the health and diversity of fish life and coral reefs but these critical assets are under attack. So much so that in many places, once-abundant reef species like parrotfish and lobsters have become scarce. Marine sanctuaries are a proven way of bringing those species back - they give fish and reefs the space and time to recover and rebuild. In some cases, fish life within a protected area can increase 20 fold within a few years, replenishing both stocks inside and outside the reserve. And these bigger populations mean a greater ability to breed and a much better chance of surviving environmental shocks.

But the assault on the ecosystem is not just about the environment – it has a direct impact on the livelihoods of the many people who make a living in fisheries and tourism. Depletion has led to unemployment for local residents and in some cases a vicious cycle of poverty and crime.

Our goal, then, is to help those with the most to lose – fisherfolk, tourism operators and families – become the ones with the most to gain from each reserve’s long-term future. This means finding ways for people to make a living from the reserves being utilised sustainably as well as creating new opportunities for employment.

C-FISH exists to provide communities’ training, funding and know-how to maintain the sanctuaries and generate income from them, whether it’s through crafts and community-based tours or monitoring and patrolling the protected areas. Further, we work with big companies in the tourism industry to encourage them to contribute ideas and expertise, so that tourists can assist the coastal communities by supporting local jobs and sanctuary management. The companies can provide further support by making donations through the C-FISH Fund.

C-FISH is funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development (DFID) through the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC). The project is being managed by The CARIBSAVE Partnership.

[vc_row el_position="last"] [vc_column] [vc_toggle title="PROJECT SUMMARY" open="false" el_position="first last"]

The Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership Initiative (C-FISH) is a 4-year project (2012-2016) being implemented by CARIBSAVE and aimed at strengthening 15 community-based fish sanctuaries in Jamaica, St Lucia, Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica by providing resources, training and alternative livelihood opportunities.

The objectives of the C-FISH are:

• To provide financial and technical support for the management of community-based fish sanctuaries.


• To implement innovative communication and fund-raising strategies that engage a wide circle of regional and international stakeholders in supporting the sustainability and resilience of Caribbean fishing communities and coastal ecosystems.


• To develop a micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) programme, that includes capacity-building, training and access to markets (e.g. for crafts and tours), as a fund-raising mechanism for fish sanctuaries and as an opportunity to promote alternative livelihoods and build mutually beneficial linkages between the tourism sector and local communities.


• To implement a collaborative research programme to develop a new tool (the “Aquacam” Research Programme) for monitoring fish populations inside fish sanctuaries.

The project will establish a partnership with large companies in the tourism sector and a new fund, the C-FISH Fund, to encourage the engagement of the tourism sector in supporting Caribbean fish sanctuaries and the sustainable livelihoods in coastal communities. C-FISH is funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development (DFID) through the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC). The CARIBSAVE Partnership is implementing the project on behalf of DFID and the CCCCC.
