L'adaptation au changement climatique et la coopération pour le développement
19-Aug-2009
Ce document d’orientation vise à donner des informations et des conseils sur la façon de prendre en compte l'adaptation au changement climatique dans la coopération au développement. Ses objectifs sont : i) expliciter les incidences du changement climatique sur les pratiques de développement ; ii) recenser les approches pour intégrer l'adaptation dans les politiques de développement aux niveaux national, sectoriel, des projets, et local ; et iii) indiquer comment les donneurs peuvent soutenir les efforts des pays partenaires pour réduire leur vulnérabilité au changement climatique.

OECD held two side events at the UN Climate Change sessions in Bonn. The first, on 31 March, addressed critical questions for the post-2012 climate framework, including mitigation support and finance, and how to ensure mitigation actions can be “measured, reported, and verified”. The second side-event, on 7 April, looked at critical issues for reaching a post-2012 climate deal, including carbon leakage concerns, incentives for action by all major emitters, and the role of sectoral approaches in the carbon market. New analysis by OECD and IEA was presented at the side events.

Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions need to move hand in hand with policies and incentives to adapt to the impacts of climate change. This report seeks to inform critical questions with regard to policy mixes of investments in adaptation and mitigation, and how they might vary over time. Adaptation cost curves are estimated for the world, as well as for specific regions. The policy simulations presented in this report show that the costs of inaction are high, and thus it is important to start acting on both mitigation and adaptation now.
