**Responsibilities**:
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

The UNEP Vienna Programme Office hosts the Secretariat of the Carpathian Convention. Additionally, to activities in the Carpathian Region and its portfolio in the South-East Europe, the Vienna Office - as a mountain hub is currently coordinating various activities in other mountain regions related in particular to climate change adaptation such as the inter-regional Programme “Climate resilient mountain ecosystems for resilient livelihoods and mountain flagship species - Vanishing Treasures“ as well as the “Migratory Mammals and Climate Resilience in Central Asia” project (aka Central Asian Mammals and Climate Adaptation project - CAMCA).

UNEP’s “Vanishing Treasures” Programme

Changes in high mountain habitats are a reliable indicator of the negative effect of climate change (CC) on biodiversity and ecosystems. As our planet continues to heat up, unique plants and animals struggle to survive in their ever diminishing and changing mountain habitats. Also, local communities in mountain regions, which often live near wildlife and depend on crops and livestock, are faced with hardships caused by longer dry seasons and less water for irrigation. As a result, local mountain communities and animals find themselves increasingly in conflict over natural resources and space to live. Despite the growing evidence of species’ vulnerability to climate change, maintaining and enhancing resilience of wildlife to climate change remains a gap. The VT programme aims to enhance the resilience to climate change of vulnerable mountain species such as Royal Bengal tiger in the Hindu-Kush Himalayas (Bhutan), snow leopard in Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) and mountain gorilla in the Virunga region (Rwanda and Uganda), while supporting local mountain communities who live alongside them. Funded by the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, VT aims to generate maximum synergy between climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation.

To this end, VT has set the following objectives:

- Improve the adaptive capacity of mountain ecosystems while maintaining related ecosystem services
- Promote alternative livelihoods for local communities
- Train wildlife managers in protected areas in climate-smart wildlife conservation, including adaptation to climate change through nature-based solutions
- Improve communication between climate research and biodiversity conservation practitioners to ensure that the conservation sector appropriately responds to recommendations for adaptive action.
- Promote and develop a green infrastructure approach, including restoration of habitats & corridors, creation and maintenance of buffer zones and steppingstones, and rehabilitation of swamps and water catchment areas while increasing agricultural productivity or providing alternative forms of income to local communities facing the impacts of climate change

Achieving the above-listed objectives is challenging. Therefore, it is indispensable for local leaders and decision-makers to understand the economics supporting policy reform to shift from unsustainable agricultural and livestock practices to more sustainable ecosystems and biodiversity-friendly livelihoods such as climate-smart agriculture, nature-based tourism, and other non-timber extracting activities.

Targeted Scenario Analysis (TSA)

UNDP developed Targeted Scenario Analysis to respond to the growing demand from decision makers and stakeholders for effective policy-relevant economic analysis tools to advance productive sectors’ policy reform, and therefore, the national Sustainable Development Goals.

UNDP's Targeted Scenario Analysis (TSA) offers a practical approach to connecting policy objectives with fit-for-purpose economic analysis. UNDP developed TSA over several years based on an extensive project portfolio review and research supported by leading environmental economists. TSA enables the conversion of economic data into sustainable sector development policy.

TSA captures and presents the value of ecosystem services to target decision-making, not in a generic, abstract manner. TSA makes a direct comparison between two policy scenarios. First, a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario in which the status quo conditions, i.e., unsustainable sector management and limited investment, are projected into the future, and second, a so-called sustainable ecosystem management (SEM) scena
