Objective

This Programme responds to the objective 2.1 of the 11th EDF Intra-ACP Strategy (to contribute to improved capacities of adaptation to and mitigation of climate change in ACP countries and regions).

The programme will also contribute to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in particular, the achievement of SDG Goal 13 “Take action to combat climate change and its impacts”.

The overall objective of the programme (impact) is to increase the resilience of the ACP countries and regions to counter the adverse impacts of climate change in order to reduce poverty and promote sustainable development. More specifically, the programme aims to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity through the promotion of ecosystem based solutions to climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction. Therefore, this action will also contribute towards the achievement of SDG 15 “Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss”.

Expected results from the implementation of the programme are as follows:

  • ACP Regional Organisations have dedicated operational and institutional capacity to support the needs of ACP countries in relevant Intra-ACP GCCA+ priority areas, in the climate change negotiations and in the implementation of the Paris Agreement;
  • Regional and national climate change strategies and priorities that contribute to the implementation of the Paris Agreement (including NDCs) have been strengthened and supported in their implementation;
  • Pilot adaptation projects, including ecosystem-based solutions, implemented in some ACP regions and countries are replicated where appropriate and scaled up in other ACP regions and countries.
