We recently held a Targeted Topics Forum (TTF) on the theme of “Integration and High-Level Political Support in the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Process” in Phnom Penh, from September 21-23, 2016.
The TTF brought together over 30 participants representing 9 countries and five organizations to learn from one another about building political support for the NAP process, vertical integration of adaptation planning across different levels of government, and integrating adaptation into sectoral plans and action.
Presentations from this forum are available below or can be downloaded in PDF here.

We were honoured to have this forum opened by His Excellency Eang Sophalleth, Under Secretary of State for the Kingdom of Cambodia; Ms. Ludgera Klemp, Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany; and Mr. Samuel Downing, United States Embassy in Cambodia.
