Climate Change: A Review PLANNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE: A “NO REGRETS” APPROACH TO TAKING ACTION The World Bank estimates the cost of adapting to climate change in developing countries will range between USD75 and USD100 billion per year (USD2005). While this only represents 0.2 percent of projected GDP of all developing countries, it equals about 80 percent of the total disbursement of official development aid. Given the cost of adaptation measures, the immediacy of other problems facing planners (e.g., sanitation, poverty reduction, etc.), and probable city budget constraints, planners are encouraged to first consider so-called “no regrets” adaptation actions. Also referred to as “low regret” options, “no regret” adaptation options are those where moderate levels of investment increase the capacity to cope with future climate risks. Ideally, they also contribute directly to larger community development goals (e.g., improving storm and sanitary sewers, water supply upgrades, etc.). These investments will not only address urgent community development issues, but will also very likely contribute to the city’s overall climate change preparedness and adaptive capacity. Often, these investments are also already planned and/or part of an existing strategy. Other no regret actions typically include repairing and strengthening existing climate change impact defences (e.g., dikes, diversion channels, reservoirs, sea walls etc.) -- while ensuring that the changes do not result in any additional environmental impacts, as may be the case with some defences like sea walls -- and “climate proofing” critical but vulnerable infrastructure located in hazard areas (e.g., power and water facilities, hospitals, etc.). No regret actions are further advisable given the uncertainty around future weather variability and climate change impacts. Climate change impacts will continue to occur, but their magnitude, location and effects will likely evolve as the global climate continues to change. By focusing on no regret climate change adaptations, uncertainty about future weather variability and climate can be overcome and managed effectively. 44 PLANNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE:
ARE WE DOING IT? 4.0 Planning for Climate Change: The Planning Cycle Module A WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHAT’S HAPPENING? This module includes three planning steps and will help planners answer these questions: 9 8 PUBLIC NEW 7 6 PARTICIPATION INFOR M ATIO N 4 5 WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT? WHAT MATTERS MOST? © EPI 2010 STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 Are we ready to undertake a climate change planning process? Who needs to be involved in climate planning and how? How is climate change affecting our city? After completing this module, planners will have a clearer picture of what is happening in their city and how it is being affected by climate change. The need to address climate change will be clearly determined, and the right stakeholders to involve in climate change will be identified and engaged. The first two steps in this module are the foundation for any successful planning process. Many projects that stall return to these foundational planning steps after failing to get off the ground.
