Description
CIDA’s contribution to the Least Developed Countries Fund for Adaptation to Climate Change (LDCF) aims to support least developed countries (LDCs) to increase resilience to the impacts of climate change through both immediate and longer-term adaptation measures in development policies, plans, programs, projects and actions. Amongst other activities, the fund mainly provides support for the preparation of National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) and for the implementation of NAPA priorities in LDCs. In the recent revised programming Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change for 2010-2013, the Fund is now scaling up its programmatic approach to increase the resilience of vulnerable countries in: (i) climate-resilient development, (ii) implementing Adaptation Action, and (iii) estimating costs of Adaptation to Climate Change. The LDCF is mandated under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Operating under the Global Environment Facility (GEF), it addresses the needs of the 49 LDCs that are especially vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change.
