Workshop on national adaptation goals/indicators and their relationship with the SDGs and the Sendai Framework for DRR

Republic of Moldova Climate Change Adaptation Policyand Institutional Arrangement ________________________________________________________

National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (2014) provides for an integrated vision on the development opportunities of the Republic of Moldova to react in a resilient manner to the impacts of climate change.

The Climate Change Coordination Mechanism (CCCM) established as a cross-sectoral multi-stakeholder mechanism to maintain a sustainable institutional arrangement.

National Commission on Climate Change

chairs the CCCM and its mandate includes

Monitoring the progress on adaptation.

Monitoring and Evaluation System_________________________________________________________

M&E system goal is to ensure the measurability of progress across sectors, geographic scales, time and to be able to determine whether, as a result of its successive plans, Moldova is less vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

The M&E system assesses and tracks progress under the successive NAPs/SAPs and serve the purposes to:

‒ create a set of overarching adaptation goals to which each sector contributes,

‒ measure and monitor the outcomes and impacts of activities, investments, and programmes, including from gender-responsive perspective,

‒ track and monitor individual sectoral objectives , targets and indicators,

‒ enforce the gradual integration of adaptation priorities in regular development planning,

‒ ensure transparency of adaptation process and data collection,

‒ allow for iterative and continuous, evidence-based adaptation planning.

M&E System aligned with the Planning Cycle of NAPs and SAPs ______________________________________________________

Monitoring Component ________________________________________________________

Through the M&E system we monitor:

‒ progress and evaluate impacts of implemented policies,

‒ implementation of adaptation related planning,

‒ development and dissemination of adaptation related knowledge and research, including guiding material, methodology, tools and instruments,

‒ implementation of adaptation technologies and practices,

‒ adaptation related financing and investments, including adaptation-related external support received.

Levels of monitoring:

‒ Micro-level monitoring targeted at assessing the adaptation result of individual actions

‒ Meso-level monitoring allows for the tracking of adaptation achievements at the outcome level,

‒ Macro-level monitoring is conceived to evaluate or periodically assess the global, cumulative impact of all sectoral adaptation action.

Indicator-based reporting supported by the theory of change consists of:

driver indicators: measure the result of actions targeting the drivers of change, including: a) mobilized resources, b) capacity to plan adaptation, c) deep knowledge on climate risks, impact, and vulnerabilities;

output indicators: measure the result of adaptation actions included in SAPs;

outcome indicators: measure the results of SAPs and reduced sectoral vulnerability along with advancing in adaptation;

objective indicators: measure the aggregate result of a NAP cycle, the impact on the vulnerability of Moldova’s economy and progress in adaptation.

resources

Indicator type Outcome indicator

Focus area Adaptation

Adaptation

relevance

This indicator reflects the intensity of water withdrawing by all major sectors (agriculture, forestry, industry, electricity

generation, municipalities) of the total freshwater resources from renewable sources, taking into account the water

demand for environment. Water withdrawing below sustainable levels (due to inefficient practices and outdated

infrastructure systems that cause water loss) threatens ecosystems, as well as the security of water supply of society and

various economic uses, indicating a high level of water stress.

Data Providers Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment; "Apele Moldovei" agency is responsible for collecting

data and for determining / measuring this indicator

Required data Total renewable freshwater resources (TRWR); Total freshwater withdrawal (TWW) (industrial, agricultural, municipal

water withdrawal); Environmental flow requirements (EFR), all variables are expressed in km3 / year

Methodologies /

calculation formulas

Nominator = Total freshwater withdrawal (TWW); Denominator = [Total renewable freshwater resources (TRWR) -

Environmental flow requirements (EFR)]; Result * 100

Tracking Climate Change Expenditures_________________________________________________________

Climate tagging of domestic budget and external support on the purpose to:‒ provide a systemic and replicable process to identify and prioritizes climate

related PAPs (programme, activitiy, project) in budget allocations,‒ supports the capacity of the MF and MARDE to track climate expenditures and

improves their ability to ensure progress on climate change toward national development goals (SDGs) and international commitments,

‒ supports the development of the financial records to build a climate-financing framework.

the PAP and its

components

will do to

address climate change

STEP 2

Determine

which PAP

components

have climate

CCBI for each

PAP

Climate Change Budget Indicators and their PAPs_______________________________________________________

• build resilience through a policy and legal framework, implement climate policy, governance into activity and delivery, diversification and strengthening of climate investments

CCBI 1 – Policy Development and

Governance

• build resilience by developing science & technology as a foundation for formulating policies, assessing impacts and identifying measure on CCA

CCBI 2 – Research and Development

• build resilience by improving awareness of climate change and developing community capacity to respond to climate change

CCBI 3 – Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Building

• build resilience to climate risks by supporting the development of a resilient society, ensuring the development of a low-carbon production economy, ensuring the sustainability of natural resources
