This webinar discussed strategies for integrating climate change into national and sectoral budgeting and planning through experiences shared by two countries: Nepal and Uganda. Governments around the world are increasingly recognizing the need to invest in climate change as climate-induced shocks continue to impede sustainable development and economic stability. 

Developing countries need an estimated US$340 billion by 2030 to adapt to the impacts of climate change (UNEP). However, only a small share of global climate finance is dedicated to adaptation ($46 billion out of $632 billion) and it is largely funded by public sources (CPI). Data on private finance for adaptation is largely missing; CPI estimates less than 2 percent of the total adaptation finance can be tracked to private sources. At the same time, WEF estimates the adaptation market could be worth $2 trillion annually by 2026.

Virtual Webinar hosted by the Paris Committee on Capacity Building (PCCB) Network, organized by UNDP and FAO with the support from Germany's International Climate Initiative (IKI).

This webinar was organized to target all colleagues in FAO and UNDP country, regional and global offices working under the SCALA programme, including any national consultants who may be undertaking systems-level assessments and relevant government counterparts who might be engaged in carrying out the systems-level assessments at the country level. The webinar was designed as a follow up to the systems-level assessments webinar hosted by the SCALA global team in March 2022, on the key elements of systems-level assessments and related methodological approaches, tools and resources.

The Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through NDCs and NAPs (SCALA) programme and UNDP's FACS team organized an interactive and engaging event on 21 June and 28 June. The webinar aimed to highlight why collaboration is needed in support of NDC and NAP implementation in the agriculture and land use sectors. It also provided an overview of UNDP’s Effective Collaborative Action methodology, along with the history and lessons learnt in its application.

The Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through NDCs and NAPs (SCALA) programme and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)’s Scaling Positive Agriculture project co-organized a knowledge sharing webinar on “Scaling business impact for agriculture NDCs and NAPs”.
