A Stock Take of Climate Change Financing Frameworks in Asia-Pacific

Climate Change Financing Frameworks (CCFFs) provide a structured response to climate change by establishing a framework for managing climate finance and gauging the adequacy and effectiveness of climate-related expenditures. This paper provides a summary of a comparative stock take of work related to CCFFs in the Asia-Pacific Region. UNDP’s Governance of Climate Change Finance Programme (GCCF) led
the Review (see Annex I for more information on GCCF).

National Climate Change Adaptation: Emerging Practices in Monitoring and Evaluation.

Developing countries are increasingly moving towards more strategic national policies and plans, the effectiveness of which will depend upon proper assessment of a given country’s vulnerability to climate change.

Looking for Green Jobs: The Impact of Green Growth on Employment

This Policy Brief draws on research carried out at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science, with the generous financial support of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). It also draws on work by the first author commissioned by the World Bank and published in the World Bank’s policy research working paper series (Bowen, 2012). We are grateful for comments from Dimitri Zenghelis, Tim Foxon and Sheng Fulai.

Good Practice in Designing and Implementing National Monitoring Systems for Adaptation to Climate Change.

In this report, we identify, analyse and compare international good practices in the design and implementation of national monitoring and evaluating indicator systems for climate change adaptation. This first chapter provides an introduction to the context and key terminology in the domain of climate change adaptation and indicators for M&E of adaptation. The second chapter discusses the existing approaches to M&E, while Chapter 3 provides a general overview of approaches to M&E Frameworks for Climate Change Adaptation.

The Design and Sustainability of Renewable Energy Incentives: An Economic Analysis.

Rapid urbanization and economic growth, new demographic trends, and climate change are key challenges that developing countries must face as they strive to meet growing energy demand. The main objectives of this study are to offer: (a) a global taxonomy of the economic and financial incentives provided by renewable support schemes and (b) an economic modeling of the sustainability and affordability of such support schemes.

Economic Resilience Definition and Measurement (2014)

The (economic) welfare disaster risk in a country can be reduced by reducing the exposure or vulnerability of people and assets (reducing asset losses), increasing macroeconomic resilience (reducing aggregate consumption losses for a given level of asset losses), or increasing microeconomic resilience (reducing welfare losses for a given level of aggregate consumption losses). The paper proposes rules of thumb to estimate macroeconomic and microeconomic resilience based on the relevant parameters in the economy.

The Macroeconomics of Climate Change.

Vivid Economics was commissioned by Defra to review techniques for modelling the macroeconomic impacts of climate change and the role of adaptation in the macro-economy. A theoretical framework is developed to enable policy-makers to succinctly yet robustly understand and evaluate macroeconomic models of climate change and adaptation. The literature is reviewed, including cutting-edge work on General Equilibrium modelling, the interaction of climate change and economic growth and the economics of extreme weather events.

Disaster Risk Assessment and Risk Financing: A G20/OECD Methodological Framework.

This methodological framework for disaster risk assessment and risk financing is intended to help finance ministries and other governmental authorities in developing more effective disaster risk management strategies and, in particular, financial strategies, building on strengthened risk assessment and risk financing.

‘Green’ Growth, ‘Green’ Jobs and Labor Markets

The term ‘green jobs’ can refer to employment in a narrowly defined set of industries providing environmental services. But it is more useful for the policy-maker to focus on the broader issue of the employment consequences of policies to correct environmental externalities such as anthropogenic climate change. Most of the literature focuses on direct employment created, with more cursory treatment of indirect and induced job creation, especially that arising from macroeconomic effects of policies.
