HOW THE BUDGET IS BEING BUILT
25 March 2019 11
Secretariat wide objectives for 2020-2021
Objectives Results
Facilitate intergovernmental engagement on responding to the threat of climate change, including by providing effective organizational, process, technical and substantive support to the climate change negotiations and to the operation of established processes arising from the negotiated mandates
Presiding Officers are enabled to perform their mandated functions The operation of the intergovernmental negotiations is facilitated Parties' consideration of the outcome and reports of established
processes is facilitated Parties' development and consideration of new/additional
guidelines/decisions is facilitated Parties are provided with support and training, as appropriate, to facilitate
their implementation of agreed UNFCCC provisions
Enable UNFCCC constituted bodies to fulfil their mandates, including by providing effective organizational, process, technical and substantive support
Constituted bodies are enabled to meet and perform their assigned functions through organizational support and process-related advice
Constituted bodies are provided with quality support in the delivery and implementation of their mandates and work programmes
Manage a trusted repository of data and information in support of the intergovernmental response to the threat of climate change
Data is synthesized and analyzed with a view to supporting further consideration by the intergovernmental negotiations and other established processes
Parties and the public are provided with authoritative, up to date and readily accessible information on the UNFCCC process
Facilitate participation* in the UNFCCC process in order to promote action towards the achievement of the objectives and goals of the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement
Participation in the UNFCCC process is enabled, enhanced and recognized
Policymakers are supported in understanding and aligning their actions with established objectives and goals of the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement
Effectively manage and administer the secretariat The human and financial resources and other assets of the UNFCCC secretariat are effectively managed in accordance with relevant UN regulations
* Does not refer to the Trust Fund for Participation
25 March 2019 12
How the budget is being built: From the ground up
• Integrated budget from the ground up based on the full range of work mandated to the secretariat by Parties
• All mandated activities to be undertaken in 2020–2021 were costed and categorized according to the mandates they support as follows:1. Essential mandates2. Permanent or long-term mandates3. Temporary or short-term mandates4. Complementary activities broadly mandated as beneficial to achieving UNFCCC objectives and
goals
• Activities falling into categories 1 and 2 are core critical, for which sufficient, predictable and timely resources are of utmost importance
• Activities falling into categories 3 and 4 are project specific / time bound
25 March 2019 13
How the budget is being built: Review of inputs
• Rigorous multi-step peer review to ensure coherence and consistency in how similar activities are being budgeted against the following criteria:
o Consistency with the objectives and categorization of mandated activities(1. essential, 2. permanent, 3. temporary, 4. complementary)
o Validity of assumptions underlying the budget estimates
o Avoidance of redundancies in and overlap of activities
25 March 2019 14
How the budget is being built: Standardization to enhance coherence and consistency
• Core resources are expected to deliver essential operational support for different workstreams and to act as anchors for supplementary work:
a) Workstreams established by Parties are assigned a manager for continuous and consistent support to the intergovernmental process
b) Constituted bodies are assigned:• A team lead each to support the implementation of the body’s work programme and Chair/Co-
Chairs• Necessary resources for the minimum number of mandated meetings with standardized costs
for participation and logistics
c) Established processes such as forums and work programmes are assigned programmeofficers
25 March 2019 15
How the budget is being built: Principles for arriving at zero nominal growth (ZNG)
• Decision 21/CP.23, para 20, requests the Executive Secretary to present a ZNG scenario in the same format and at the same level of detail as any other budget scenarios
• Estimated resource requirements for mandated activities in categories 1 and 2 (essential and permanent), exceed core resources in a ZNG budget scenario
• The following principles were applied to determine which activities to be funded from core:
a) All category 1 activities (essential mandates)
b) Category 2 activities (permanent or long-term mandates) as follows:
• Balance across different thematic areas is ensured
• Anchors for critical workstreams are kept in core
• Ratio between staff and non-staff costs is not significantly altered
• Due consideration of all mandates regardless of age and overarching instrument
(Convention, Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement and Katowice outcomes)
25 March 2019 16
How the budget is being built: Arriving at zero nominal growth
• ZNG budget proposal shifts support for activities responding to permanent mandates from core to none-core resources
Areas funded from supplementary under ZNG Potential impact
Support for the intergovernmental process and constituted bodies• Shifting staff resources• Reducing number of meetings/events by 50%• Reducing consultancies (100%) and staff
travel (25%)
Activities may not be undertaken at the quality and scale and within the timeframe as mandated
Support for coordination of activities: shifting staff resources
Reduced coherence, synergies/ efficiencies and negative impact on the quality of support for presiding officers
Support for activities that are still undernegotiation: shifting staff and non-staff resources for activities related to the implementation of provisions related to PA Art.6
Any agreed activities related to Art. 6 thatmay be mandated to the secretariat may not be undertaken in a timely and adequate manner, leading to delays
Support for facilitating engagement andcommunications: shifting staff and non-staff resources
Mandated engagement may not be undertaken in a timely and adequate manner, leading to reduced stakeholder engagement
