NAP Global Network at the Gender Day Marketplace
Hosted by UNFCCC Gender Team
Tuesday, November 14 | 13:00 – 18:00 | Bonn Zone, Rheinaue Park
On Gender Day, November 14, the NAP Global Network will have a stand at the Gender Day Marketplace organized by the UNFCCC Gender team. The goal of the marketplace is to showcase products, services and ideas that can support the implementation of gender-responsive Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and/or National Adaption Plans (NAPs). The NAP Global Network team will be there to share our ideas for integrating gender considerations in NAP processes, and talk about support we can offer to your country to integrate gender considerations.
Financing Adaptation: Private Sector Engagement in NAP Processes
Hosted by the NAP Global Network at the German Development Institute (DIE) 2017 Interconnections Zone
Saturday, November 11 | 15:00-16:30 | 2017 Interconnections Zone, Tulpenfeld 6, 53113 Bonn
As public sector finance alone will not be enough to finance NAP processes, there is increasing recognition of the need to engage the private sector in financing adaptation. Uncertainty remains, though, regarding how to mobilize private finance to advance implementation of adaptation priorities and how governments might influence private sector investment. This event will provide context and showcase examples of innovative approaches of how countries can work with private financiers and enterprises to finance their NAP processes.

How Can Local-to-National Linkages Facilitate Inclusiveness in NAP Processes?
Session co-organized by the NAP Global Network and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre
Saturday, November 11 | 16:00-17:30 | Kameha Grand Bonn, Am Bonner Bogen 1
Development and Climate Days (D&C Days) is an annual event that brings together practitioners, negotiators, scientists and policymakers to explore key issues, share best practice, disseminate news, literature and reports, and promote links between development and climate. This year’s event is organized by a partnership between RCRC Climate Centre, IIED, IDRC, GFDDR, MRFCJ, WMB, and DIE.
This session at D&C Days will explore how local-to-national linkages in NAP processes can help to ensure inclusiveness, focusing on experiences and lessons related to:
- Opportunities created for participation of vulnerable groups and communities
- Engagement of sub-national actors and how this strengthens consideration of gender and social diversity
- Enabling factors for vertical integration to facilitate more inclusive NAP processes
Attendance is free and open to everyone attending COP 23 in Bonn. Register for D&C Days.
Representatives of the NAP Global Network Secretariat will be onsite for the duration of the COP. Reach out to info@napglobalnetwork.org if you would like to connect with us outside of our events.
