Chapter 10: Supporting El Salvador to Reduce Infrastructure Risks within a Green,Low-Emission and Climate-Resilient Framework for Development10Technical Presentation 6:Supporting El Salvador to ReduceInfrastructure Risks within a Green,Low-Emission and Climate-ResilientFramework for Development —Strategy for Adapting Public and PrivateInfrastructure to Climate ChangeStephen GoldKey MessagesUNDP supports governments to reduce infrastructure risk through the development of prospectiveintegrated green, low-emission and climate-resilient development strategies (Green LECRDS)designed to attract and direct public and private investment towards catalysing and supportingsustainable economic growth.UNDP provides a wide range of services — knowledge, data and analysis, training, projectidentification and access to financing — to facilitate countries’ implementation of Green LECRDS.UNDP’s approach to helping countries prepare a green, low-emission and climate-resilientdevelopment strategy involves the following five steps:1. Develop a multi-stakeholder planning process;2. Prepare climate change profiles and vulnerability scenarios;3. Identify strategic options leading to green, low-emission and climate-resilient developmenttrajectories;4. Identify policies and financing options to implement priority climate change actions (i.e. assessexisting financing options; undertake cost-benefit analysis of priority options; identify financialflow requirements and identify policy and financing options based on available resources); and5. Prepare green, low-emission and climate-resilient development roadmap.UNDP provides support to develop long-term sustainable strategic frameworks in conjunction withimmediate on-the-ground adaptation and mitigation actions (i.e. through Fast Start/demonstration/pilot projects).Full PresentationStephen Gold, Principal Policyand Technical Adviser, Green,Low-Emission and Climate-ResilientDevelopment Strategies, UNDPThis concluding presentation synthesizes technical discussions from the conference into a coherent, practicaland strategic framework for adapting public and private infrastructure to climate change. The UNDPframework is outlined as a five-step process for preparing a Green LECRDS.116Paving the Way for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Conference Proceedings
Chapter 10: Supporting El Salvador to Reduce Infrastructure Risks within a Green,Low-Emission and Climate-Resilient Framework for DevelopmentPART IIHighlights from previous conversationsTechnical discussions and statements throughout the day have highlighted the following key points:Countries (specifically, El Salvador) need to internalize the ‘new reality’ of the implications of increasingfrequency of extreme events and long-term climate change on public and private infrastructure.It is necessary to develop sustainable capacities, credible information — from a national to territoriallevel — and information systems (e.g. GIS and climate systems) to guide robust decision-making andultimately an integrated strategic framework for reducing additional risks to infrastructure.Adapting to this new reality requires a cross-cutting intersectoral approach among key line ministriesand other partners.Risk management actions need to take place at national, subnational and community levels.Statistics show that 60 percent of actions occur at the territorial level.Adapting to climate change is costly and requires access to the full array of available sources offinance and investment. UNDP is working to help countries access these financing options.Both physical infrastructure and natural ecosystems infrastructure need to be considered in climateproofingstrategies.These considerations must be embedded in an integrated, strategic and practical framework for reducingadditional risks to infrastructure.OutcomeUNDP is working to support governments to reduce infrastructure risk through development of prospectiveintegrated Green LECRDS designed to attract and direct public and private investment towardscatalysing and supporting sustainable economic growth. UNDP is working at the local, territorial level inseveral countries including Colombia, Nigeria, Peru, Senegal, Uganda, and Uruguay.Five key steps to prepare Green LECRDSUNDP has developed, with its partners, the following five-step process for assisting countries to prepareGreen LECRDS:TechnicalPresentation 1What a Country ShouldThink About andThen Do to AddressClimate Change andInfrastructure RisksTechnicalPresentation 2Internalization ofClimate Risks in theContext of Planningand Urban DevelopmentTechnicalPresentation 3A Framework forRisk Assessmentand Risk-InformedDecision-Making forInfrastructureDevelopmentTechnicalPresentation 4Probabilistic RiskModeling: BasicPrinciples andApplicationsstep 1Develop a Multi-Stakeholder Planning Processstep 2Prepare Climate Change Profiles and Vulnerability ScenariosTechnicalPresentation 5An Economic Frameworkfor Evaluating ClimateProofing Investmentson Infrastructurestep 3Identify Strategic Options Leading to Green, Low-Emission Climate-Resilient Development Trajectoriesstep 4Identify Policies and Financing Options to Implement Priority Climate Change Actionsstep 5Prepare a Green, Low-Emission Climate-Resilient Development RoadmapTechnicalPresentation 6Supporting ElSalvador to ReduceInfrastructure Riskswithin a Green, Low-Emission and Climate-Resilient Frameworkfor DevelopmentPaving the Way for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Conference Proceedings 117
