WRI’s National Adaptive Capacity Framework WRI国家适应性能力框架 世界能源研究所 ACCC Workshop Beijing, March 2010 1

What Does the NAC Framework Do? NAC框架的作用 Helps you take a ‘snapshot’ of key adaptation strengths and gaps in your province 帮助你快速了解所在省份适应性优势和差距

Your Province: A Socio-Ecological System 您省份的社会生态系统 System elements include government, business, academia, communities, and other institutions. What functions will that system need to perform? What capacities must be built to perform those functions? Source: Regents of the University of California (2008) 3

Q: How can your province become an ADAPTING system? 问题：您省份怎样建立一个适应性系统 A: Iterative learning. 答案：迭代学习

Individual people learn… 个人是这样 …and so do institutions! 机构更是如此

Institutional Learning 机构学习 also known as… 也被认为是 Building Institutional Capacity 机构能力建设

NAC Many Learning Loops: 众多学习循环 From Capacity to Outcomes从能力到成果 Delivery of Adaptation Action适应性措施的传递 Functioning ‘System’ 运作系统 Vulnerability Reduction 减少脆弱性 Capacity 能力 NAC

Key Institutional Functions for Adaptation 主要机构在适应性问题上的作用 Assessment评估 Prioritization先导 Coordination协调 Information Management信息管理 Risk Reduction减少风险 Source: WRI (2009)

NAC Using a NAC “Snapshot” in Adaptive Planning 运用NAC的’Snapshot’于适应性计划 Assess Ability of “System” to Perform Key Adaptation Functions 评估“系统”展现主要适应性功能的能力 Planning for Adaptation Action and Capacity Building 规划适应性措施和能力建设 System Function Changes 系统功能变化 Implement Plans 实施计划

Components of the NAC Framework NAC框架的构成 Assessment questions for each adaptation function 每项适应性功能的评估问题 Guidance on what to look for in answering the questions 为寻求问题回答所需内容提供指导 An answer sheet to record your findings 在问卷中记录你的发现 A “context worksheet” to help you get started 一份“工作计划表”帮助您开展工作

The NAC Answer Sheet NAC答卷 Assessment Questions评估问题 Answers 答案 1) To what extent has a national vulnerability and impacts assessment been conducted?应该在何种程度上对一个国家脆弱性和影响进行评估？ a) Assessment takes into account community-level assessments.将社区评估考虑其中 充分Adequate/ 不充分Inadequate? Institutions Responsible? 机构责任？ b) Assessment methodology is made transparent. 评估方法的透明 Adequate/ Inadequate? Institutions Responsible? c) Assessment(s) cover(s) all sectors and regions.评估覆盖所有部门和地区 Adequate/ Inadequate? Institutions Responsible?

Example例子: Ireland Answers 答案 Assessment Questions评估问题 充分/ 不充分 机构责任 1) To what extent has a national vulnerability and impacts assessment been conducted?应该在何种程度上对一个国家脆弱性和影响进行评估？ 充分/ 不充分 机构责任 a) Assessment takes into account community-level assessments.将社区评估考虑其中 不充分Inadequate Research Institutes b) Assessment methodology is made transparent. 评估方法的透明 不充分Inadequate Environment Ministry c) Assessment(s) cover(s) all sectors and regions.评估覆盖所有部门和地区 Partial Environment Ministry

Example例子 Based on the assessment, Ireland realized they needed to do a vulnerability assessment.基于前期的评估经验，爱尔兰意识到他们需要脆弱性评估 They also realized the Environment Ministry would need to work together with research institutes. 他们也同时意识到环境部需要与研究机构一起合作 Environmental Protection Agency staff showed the assessment results to their Ministry staff.环境保护机构的官员向政府官员展示评估结构
