About Us
Our Impact
For more than a decade, the NAP Global Network has provided support to developing countries in advancing their NAP processes.
Our vision is a world where communities and countries—particularly the poorest and most vulnerable—are able to articulate, work toward and realize their development aspirations in a changing climate. This is possible by having robust adaptation planning processes that are:
- Aligned with development priorities and plans.
- Effective in channelling resources to the people, places and systems that need them most.
The NAP Global Network’s support to developed countries contributes to more effective, inclusive NAP processes. We adopted a Theory of Change in 2016 that has been updated on an iterative basis, and that outlines the long-term impacts we want to achieve. The current version of our Theory of Change is in the Network’s strategic plan.

NAPs in Action: Four stories of adaptation plans driving change
More and more countries are stepping up their efforts to move beyond planning and turning their NAPs into action. Here are just four examples of how countries are translating adaptation planning into real-world results.
The Rwandan Women Shaping Adaptation Plans
Envisioning Resilience aims to harness the power of visual storytelling to enhance the inclusiveness of engagement in adaptation planning. At the heart of the initiative is the belief that women, especially those who are marginalized, are not just victims of climate change but powerful agents of resilience.
