Inventory of Multilevel Governance Coordination Mechanisms in the NAP Process

Diverse types of multilevel governance (MLG) coordination mechanisms for climate action (including adaptation, mitigation, and loss and damage) have emerged in the last three decades across the world. There is no “one-size-fits-all” model; rather, some trends and general approaches are emerging.

The purpose of this inventory is to provide an overview of the type of multilevel coordination mechanism that countries are using to advance their NAP processes. This information is targeted at national teams supporting the NAP process across policy sectors, subnational decision-makers at different governance levels, and other non-state actors relevant to the NAP process. It aims to inform them on the existing mechanisms that countries are putting in place, providing entry points to support the NAP process. A secondary goal is to inform international development practitioners about countries’ existing coordination mechanisms to avoid duplication of efforts supporting NAPs.
