Public Expenditure for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risks Reduction: Consultations for methodological improvements
English
United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction - Regional Office for Asia and Pacific, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction - Regional Office for Africa and United Nations Development Programme - Headquarters are organizing online Consultations for methodological improvements in conducting disaster risk reduction (DRR) public expenditure reviews. UNDRR is convening a number of stakeholders to discuss commonalities between DRR and climate change adaptation (CCA) across sectoral budgets to converge these methodologies. A methodology that brings together both DRR and CCA concerns could be useful to overcome double counting and duplication of efforts.
Objectives of the Meeting:
- Understand the current landscape and exchange information on current initiatives.
- Present and discuss findings and recommendations from previous studies of multiple stakeholders working in the domain of DRR and CCA financing.
- Learn from past experiences in conducting budget reviews (e.g. gender, environmental) and initiatives for institutionalizing budget tagging systems (e.g. climate budget tagging (CBT)).
- Discuss the opportunities and challenges for a tool that could link DRR and CCA public expenditures.
- Identify countries' needs to build on budget reviews' findings and recommendations to develop budget marking systems, climate and disaster fiscal and financing frameworks and/or focused sectoral analysis.
15:00 - 18:30 Bangkok
11:00 - 14:30 Nairobi
Please note, the meeting is by invitation only.
