1. GEF 6 Programming Climate Change Adaptation GEF Expanded Constituency Workshop Windhoek, Namibia February 17-18, 2015

2. GEF-6: Focal Areas & Funding Sources GEF Trust Fund: STAR Allocation GEF Trust Fund: Set Asides LDCF / SCCF Biodiversity (BD) X Land Degradation (LD) X Climate Change Mitigation (CCM) X International Waters X Chemicals X Integrated Approach Programs (IAPs) X X Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) X X Climate Change Adaptation (CCA)

3. Adaptation Programming Strategy: Goal & Objectives 1) Reduce the vulnerability of people, livelihoods, physical assets and natural systems Goal: increase resilience to the adverse impacts of climate change in vulnerable developing countries, through both near- and long-term adaptation measures in affected sectors, areas and communities 2) Strengthen institutional and technical capacities 3) Integrate climate change adaptation into relevant policies, plans and associated processes

4. Adaptation Programming Strategy: 2 Core Pillars & Innovations Pillars: 1) Integrating CCA into relevant policies, plans, programs and decision-making processes Preparation and implementation of NAPAs 2) Pursing initiatives that cut across both adaptation and other GEF focal areas. Innovations: Private sector engagement & Ecosystem-based Adaptation
