In the context of the entry into force of the Paris Agreement, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) supports the Algerian government to strengthen its climate governance and establish a framework fostering the implementation of the climate action that meets the objectives of the Algerian (Intended) Nationally Determined Contribution ((I)NDC). The Algerian government ratified the Paris Agreement in October 2016 and submitted its INDC. This contribution concerns the two equally important pillars of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; namely mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the effects of climate change. As a reminder, Algeria"s INDC provides for a "Reduction of greenhouse gases emissions by 7% to 22% by 2030, compared to a business as usual -BAU- scenario, conditional on external support in terms of finance, technology development and transfer, and capacity building. The 7% GHG reduction will be achieved with national means." The INDC refers to various instruments for implementation, monitoring and readjustment of the mitigation component. In addition, regarding adaptation, the contribution refers to the need for a National Adaptation Plan (NAP). The project "Support for the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in Algeria" (ClimGov 2) was designed taking into account the results obtained during the predecessor project "Strengthening of Climate Governance regarding the INDC" (ClimGov 1), as well as the different actions undertaken by the Algerian government with other technical and financial partners, such as the elaboration of the First Biennial Report and the Third National Communication and the upcoming launch of the National Adaptation Plan. This project will support the upcoming milestones in terms of accountability and planning of the climate action in the medium and long term (e.g. the next NDC and a first SNBC). The project will run from January 2023 to December 2025. Its political partner is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad (MAECNE) and its main technical partner is the Ministry of Environment and Renewable Energies (MEER). The project will follow a multi-sectoral and multi-level approach and be based on the design and implementation of processes and tools for the implementation of the Paris Agreement. It will include human capacity building, institutional capacity building, strengthening of cooperation and reinforcement of framework conditions, all while strengthening communication and visibility. The project's main thematic priorities are: - Climate governance: The aim is to operationalize and institutionalize the NDC development process and draft regulatory and legislative texts to be validated by the national climate committee. - Adaptation: The aim is to introduce planning and monitoring processes for adaptation to climate change in selected sectoral institutions through the development of two sectoral guides, namely for the planning of adaptation measures and the institutionalization of monitoring and reporting processes according to the requirements of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) while taking into account the gender dimension. - Mitigation: The component will introduce planning and monitoring processes for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Modelling data of GHG mitigation scenarios for two sectors is planned under this section in order to be used in the elaboration of a National Low Carbon Strategy by 2050. - Climate finance: The component aims to strengthen the financing capacities of mitigation and adaptation measures for the relevant institutions. The implementation of domestic financing mechanisms will be planned as well as the application of Algerian institutions for direct access to the Green Climate Fund.
