UNDP/UNCDF Climate Change Finance 2023-2027 - UNCDF Climate Change Finance 2023-2027
Overall goal: Impact: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu are building inclusive climate resilient communities and local economies and are transitioning towards low carbon development pathways. Medium term outcome: Climate governance is strengthened in a gender responsive manner and additional climate finance is leveraged at the national, sectoral and sub-national levels in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. Outcome 1: Public sector at national, sectoral and local levels has enhanced capacities for effective planning of climate finance. Outcome 2:Climate Change is mainstreamed into national/ local governments' planning and budgeting systems and lead to allocations/investments. Outcome 3: Country frameworks and systems established and/or strengthened for increased access to climate finance (public, private, domestic, international). Outcome 4: Enhanced inclusiveness, transparency and accountability of climate finance. Outcome 5: Strengthened regional cooperation to enable climate finance reforms in the region.

Understanding climate risks through an intersectional approach
Building resilience to climate change and natural hazards requires socially inclusive action. There is increasing recognition in the climate adaptation space, both in research and policy deliberations, that an intersectional approach is needed to reach the most vulnerable people. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change observes, risks vary across people within societies depending on intersecting inequalities and context-specific factors such as culture, gender, religion, ability, disability and ethnicity. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change also demonstrates an emphasis on intersectional approaches as countries move towards the global goal on adaptation. Applying intersectional approaches in practice, however, remains less clear. The project will develop country case studies that explore how to apply an intersectional approach to climate adaptation and resilience. Each partner will also collaborate with two or three equity organizations focusing on the rights of women, people with disabilities, younger or older people, or other underrepresented groups who will be engaged in design, data collection and analysis and dissemination. The aim of this work is to generate evidence-based recommendations for adaptation practitioners and policymakers that can inform relevant processes and policies and ensure that climate action works for everyone. This project is part of the Climate Adaptation and Resilience initiative (CLARE) jointly designed, funded and run by IDRC and the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. CLARE is an ambitious five-year initiative to enable socially inclusive and sustainable action to build resilience to climate change and natural hazards across Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.

Partnerships: Research and Analytical
The Partnerships: Research and Analytical initiative consolidates eight new and existing agreements that support and enhance strategic partnerships with leading research institutions in fragility, peace, conflict and development issues. The partnership will: ensure continued access to international cutting edge research, analysis and intellectual policy expertise; ability to draw on international best practice and lessons learned from fragile, complex and conflict affected environments; provide an opportunity to input and steer direction at international policy discussion level; access to international products and materials including guidance notes, analysis and toolkits. This initiative contributes to two of the Crisis Prevention, Stabilisation and Recovery (CPSR) Group's objectives: international and whole of government engagement by leveraging best practice and analysis for the Australia aid program from strategic partnerships; and strategic advice guidance that draws on cross-Age
