8. BILATERAL DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION: MIXED CREDIT PROJECTS
Target
Responsibility is with the Mixed Credit Unit in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Entry points
- Climate change screening together with the mandatory environmental screening of proposed projects.
Basic principles
- Project investments must be climate-proofed as part of the investment feasibility assessment to mitigate risks from climate change and extreme weather events.
- In addition to historic climate information, climate risk assessments should take projected climate variability into account.
Initial screening points
- Include climate change risk assessment in ToR for project appraisal/ feasibility.
- Identify information relevant for climate change in national sector policies and strategies.
- Identify relevant information, if any, in national communications to UNFCCC.
