The proposed GCF project will facilitate the assessment and reduction of vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change by integrating climate change adaptation into the country's comprehensive and resilient development strategies.

In particular, the proposed project supports the Government of Argentina to:

• Establish a national process to coordinate adaptation planning at all relevant scales and with a medium- and long-term perspective;
• Identify capacity gaps and strengthen capacities for adaptation planning and implementation and for integrating adaptation to climate change into national, provincial and municipal development planning processes;
• Support the preparation of sectoral adaptation plans and their integration into a National Climate Change Strategy for validation by the National Climate Change Cabinet;
• Establish a system for monitoring and assessing needs and adaptation measures, within the framework of the work of the National Climate Change Cabinet and the Federal Environmental Council (COFEMA), with a methodology for continuous learning and addressing emerging needs repeatedly;
• Design a communication strategy on adaptation to climate change, focusing on the most vulnerable populations and improve climate information services;
• Support inter-sectoral and interjurisdictional collaboration, within the framework of the National Cabinet on Climate Change, the Federal Environment Council (COFEMA), the National System for Comprehensive Risk Management (SINAGIR), and collaboration with civil society and municipalities.
