What it aims to achieve
The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) supports developing countries and regions that are highly vulnerable to climate change. It strengthens their adaptive capacities and resilience against the impacts of climate change on their communities, ecosystems, and infrastructures.
Why it’s needed
Much of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central Americas, the Arctic and almost all Small Island Developing States have reached a state of climate emergency. There are profound ramifications for lives, livelihoods, health, and wellbeing. In many highly vulnerable nations, the likelihood of dying in an extreme weather event between 2010 and 2020 was 1,500 percent greater than in Europe. If we fail to help these regions to rapidly build resilience, then we also run the risk of failing to meet the sustainable development goals in these countries.
How it works
Applying the Climate Investment Funds’ programmatic approach, this program helps governments integrate climate resilience into strategic development planning across multiple stakeholder groups. It builds an enabling environment for transformational change and provides concessional and grant funding to pilot innovative public- and private-sector climate resilience solutions. Founded on the principles of country ownership and multi-stakeholder participation, this program was praised by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change as a successful example of multi-level governance in climate solutions.
Delivery Challenges
In these geographical regions, the underlying causes of climate vulnerabilities are numerous and interlinked: they include poor governance; poverty; the unsustainable use of natural resources; gender inequalities; and inadequate access to basic services, such as water. Typically, such countries have limited capacity to adapt due to factors, including limited economic resources, low levels of technology, and poor infrastructure. All efforts to reduce climate vulnerabilities need to take into account the diverse range of vulnerability drivers.
MEASURING SUCCESS
PPCR tracks progress on the integration of climate change into national and sectoral planning; strengthened government capacity and coordination mechanisms; the development and uptake of climate-responsive tools and strategies; and the number of people supported to cope with the effects of climate change.
Multi-stakeholder engagement is central to the implementation and monitoring of PPCR’s strategic programs for climate resilience (i.e., investment plans). As part of PPCR's approach to monitoring and reporting, state and non-state stakeholder groups in each PPCR recipient country come together for a workshop that involves reviewing, discussing, and assessing progress on all PPCR projects under implementation in the country. This inclusive, participatory approach enriches the process, builds monitoring and reporting capacity, and improves results.
