Climate Mitigation A human intervention to reduce the sources or increase the sinks of greenhouse gases (GHGs). This includes human interventions to reduce the sources of other substances that may directly or indirectly contribute to limiting climate change. In some natural systems, human intervention can facilitate adaptation to expected climate and its effects.
Climate Resilience The ability of social, economic, and environmental systems to cope with, respond to, or reorganize a hazardous event or trend or disturbance in ways that preserve their essential function, identity, and structure while maintaining their capacity to adapt, learn, and transform. Responsiveness to climate change includes adaptation to climate change and measures to mitigate, build resilience and reduce disaster risk, while recognizing the complexity of rapidly growing urban areas in the context of uncertainty about what climate change will actually mean in any given region. Summary Report of the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Change of word from "urban" to "country" in the terminology related to the Catalytic Urban Development Programme. During the assessment of reporting indicators (Circular 88) in October 2018, all metropolitan municipalities decided to use 800 m instead of a range between 500-800 m. Catalytic Land Development Programme. Catalytic land development programs are a set of all related projects (public: municipal, public: non-municipal and private [Public-Private Partnerships, Special Purpose Vehicles and Purely Private Development] projects) that had to be carried out within a specific target spatial area and from which the total pipeline of intergovernmental projects is updated for all public sector projects in the program.
The catalytic development of land development programs delivers a series of built environment projects to be implemented by either the national, provincial, municipal or private sector that will gradually put cities on the path to achieving compact cities and transformed urban spaces and are therefore result-oriented.
1 INTRODUCTION
STRATEGIC FOCUS OF BEPPS FOR THE 2019/20 MTREF
Mainstream climate responsiveness and resilience in the municipal planning, budgeting and reporting process using the Built Environment Performance Plans (BEPPs). The weight of the sections of the BEPP corresponds directly to the activities of the BEVC. 12 Oct 2018 Supplementary guideline for BEPP 2019/20 MTREF 3.2 Mainstream climate responsiveness and resilience in municipal planning.
To support more sustainable and resilient metros, the focus for the BEPPs for the 2019/2020 MTREF is on mainstreaming climate response and resilience into the municipal planning, budgeting and reporting process using the BEPP. This will strengthen the overall application of the BEVC to support more productive, inclusive and sustainable metros that contribute to economic growth and a reduction of poverty and inequality. Mainstreaming climate responsiveness into the BEPP will thus contribute to more climate responsive outcomes of infrastructure spending.
First, the BEPP is increasingly used as the capital expenditure framework for each metro's MSDF. This means that much of the upstream climate responsive planning needs to be done in the compilation of the MSDF. The BEPP thus functions as the instrument for concretizing the budget prioritization given to certain types of projects in geographically targeted parts of the city.
Second, the results-led planning that has characterized city planning, particularly through the BEPP process, over the past five years, with defined outcomes of more productive, sustainable, inclusive and well-governed metropolitan municipalities, is inherently supportive of climate-responsible planning. However, the scale of investment growth that will be required by climate change dictates that concerted changes in metro planning and budgeting must begin now. Third, BEVC is at the heart of BEPP's results-led approach and each step in the value chain has a direct and qualitative impact on the capacity of the Built Environment to deliver the desired outcomes.
Mainstreaming climate responsiveness in the BEPP process therefore requires interventions in each step of the BEVC as articulated in the following sections. Environmentally sustainable city.” However, the technical design of the indicator development and thus metros are not yet obliged to report on this outcome area. These indicators are the subject of review and are not currently required as part of the BEPP.
CONTENT GUIDELINES FOR THE 2019/20 BEPP
National Treasury support will be focused on providing training and technical assistance to metropolitan municipalities to implement CR&R including the CLDP guidelines. Year 3 interventions are focused on metropolitan municipalities as custodians of their respective BEPPs and concern the demonstration of the application of the guidelines to geographical targeting areas and the consequent identification of CR&R projects arising from this application. There is also a focus on metropolitan municipalities demonstrating organizational changes that will facilitate the application of the proposed CR&R toolkit to the urban project pipeline.
Guidelines and systems will be updated based on the results of the review of CR&R integration into BEPP. The sections below identify the requirements for interventions for MTREF 2019/20 in relation to the currently identified parts of the BEPP. In addition, the National Treasury has the role of custodian of the BEPP process.
Statement on how climate change is strategically and transversally institutionalized within the organization and incorporated into the drafting of the BEPP. The intention is not to expand or dilute the focus of the BEPP, but to ensure that climate change impacts are taken into account when identifying projects and that CR&R investment requirements are highlighted. The table below identifies interventions in relation to the sections of the BEPP defined in the Framework for the formulation of Built Environment Performance Plans (September 2017) and the Supplementary Guidance Note (September 2017).
Incorporate CR&R into the identification and prioritization of spatial target areas through climate risk and vulnerability assessment and. Incorporate CR&R into identifying and prioritizing spatial target areas through climate risk and. Demonstrate the outreach of CR&R staff and expertise to the City's BEPP Forum (or similar structure).
Demonstrate how the City will integrate CR&R concerns into its CLDP implementation. Identification of CR&R related projects arising from the implementation of the Intergovernmental Project C2 CLDP. Specifically demonstrate the institutional changes made to prepare for application of the CR&R Project Instrument to the City's pipeline.
